IGN’s New Art Academy Review

IGN:

It’s interesting that Nintendo has opted to launch the 3DS XL with two titles aimed at those with a creative bent. In the case of New Art Academy, there’s a fairly obvious logic behind it, as the expanded screens naturally offer a grander canvas on which to sketch or paint your own miniature masterpiece. Consider, too, that the original DS title sold half a million copies in the UK alone – following its debut in two parts on the DSiWare service – and you can imagine this being something of a system-seller for a certain audience. As with the first title, New Art Academy is an accomplished and genuinely educational package that’s just missing one or two features which could have made it even better.
