  1. This is almost a case of “what could have been.” While the game itself isn’t a bad game, per se, it’s not a very good game, either. There just isn’t enough content.
  2. A standby on Nintendo handhelds since Game Boy Color, River King has taken to DS touch control like a fish to water. [Feb 2008, p.90]
  3. River King: Mystic Valley seems to be somewhat of a fall from grace for the series.
  4. Tedious and incredibly unrewarding. [Aug 2008, p.65]
