Credit is given when credit is due, Nintendo did a really good job with the 3DS this year. Looking back, there was always something to look forward to right around the corner. Here's what Nintendo themselves had to offer:
Not only were they spread evenly across the entire year, but they also struck a great balance when it comes to variety. There were RPGs, platformers, adventure games, all from various different franchises. And this is not even counting the great third party stuff it had like Ace Attorney, Etrian Odyssey, Shin Megami Tensei and more. I can't remember the last time I've been this satisfied with a console.
Looking forward, it seems like the 3DS will slow down next year in favor of the Wii U. So far we know about the new Kirby game as well as Smash Bros., but not much else. Personally, I'm fine with it. I'm just happy they managed to cover so many great franchises already, even some that the DS never touched (like Kid Icarus.) I guess we can talk about what we would like to see in 2014, but this thread is mainly to celebrate and highlight how awesome 3DS was this year.
