Makes me sad that the 3DS isnt region free. At least a third of those aren't playable in Europe yet.*cough*

I need to get a 3DS XL for Fire Emblem:Awakening and Bravely Default.
Yup - the system has had a great, great year. I love the 3DS more than I loved the DS, at this point. I hope the high quality games don't stop coming, though next year looks a bit more sparse so far (Though there is Yoshi, Kirby and Smash, so at least there is something).
I fail to see how, but whatever. Cheerleader threads are sort of a pet peeve of mine, especially when the actual number of games listed aren't all that impressive even when you throw in the third party stuff. It works out to maybe 1 potentially interesting game a month? That's enough for my buying habits I guess but that's assuming that each and every game is going to fit a specific taste. In my view for a system to have a "Great" lineup for a year it has to cover a far larger spread of tastes and all of which are high quality within their respective genres.
DS had "Great" years, Super Nintendo had "Great" years. 3DS had a good one. It might have some great years ahead of it, but I can't see that lineup as fitting that bill. Also, for those dismissing multiplatform games you do realize that DK was on Wii, right?
It will; I'm just worried about what follows the year after that...3DS was pure beast mode this year. I hope Wii-U follows !
Best year of gaming in my opinion.
Looking forward to 2014 with Monster Hunter 4, Bravely Default, Dragon Quest 7, and hopefully a new Chibi Robo.

You're much more optimistic than DQ than I am. Pretty sure DQ7 is a pipe dream.
Hell, I don't think I've beaten a 3DS game since RE Revelations came out.
I know how you feel, I still have Luigi's Mansion 2 to clear. No good reason why I haven't, it's a very fun game. Just haven't yet.
I have played for way more than 10 hours... 250 on Animal Crossing. And, annoyingly, that fucking otter still hasn't given me my badge.
I've not been this happy with a single system line-up in a year in a very long time.
And Bravely Default ;pStill have SMT IV, PWD, EO:IV, EO:U, and RF4 too!

8 games across an entire year represents an amazing lineup?
What do you call the PS3's year then?
God of War, Last of Us, Bioshock, Puppeteer, Ratchet, Ni no Kuni, Metal Gear Rising, Tales of Xillia, Project Diva, GTAV, Final Fantasy XIV, Dragon's Crown, Saint's Row IV, Diablo 3, The Wolf Among Us, Gran Turismo 6..... and I'm sure I'm missing a ton of other games too.
With that, it even shows how 3DS cover almost all genre there. From your list there, any visual novel? Any life simu game? You know your answer.
To be fair, that comparison doesn't really work when most of the third party games you listed are turn based RPGs.
