Cory in the House for the Nintendo DS. That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. See, this 2008-released ‘adventure stealth’ game – as well as the TV show it’s based on – has been a meme for more than a decade. In the past, I’d often see Cory in the House being described as the ‘best anime of all time’. I’d also read Amazon reviews of the video game, which would hail it as a true ‘masterpiece’.
And now, in 2026, the meme seems to have been reborn. Users have taken to Metacritic and flooded it with positive reviews for Cory in the House on the Nintendo DS. And now, its user score sits at 9.3, which is indicative of ‘universal acclaim’. That score is so high, in fact, that the title is genuinely posing a threat to the top-ranked game on Metacritic by user score. And that game is none other than TechRadar’s Game of the Year of 2025, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
