If you own a 3DS, yes.
No. Your list is mostly just a bunch of AAA garbage.
I agree with both of these.

Great games cant beat 3 new console releases and the Oculus Rift, and its not like this year has a crap list of games coming out, remember there are a lot of games that have not been announced yet.
Like the new Call of Duty and a bunch of others.

Console launches alone don't mean anything since launch line-ups are rarely anything that special.Look at the hardware coming out this year, sure 1998 had great games but this year has a mighty fine looking line up of games to, its a straight up victory when you add it all up.

But System Shock 2 on GOG sure makes up for it.
I honestly, seriously, not-even-just-saying-this-to-be-a-smarmy-dick, cannot even begin to fathom how or why anyone would be even remotely excited about the launch of the next Xbox and Playstation.
In fact, I think they're actually actively detracting from how good of a year I think 2013 is. Every time I get a little optimistic or hopeful, I remember that they're on the horizon, and then this tired, defeated sort of groan crawls its way out of my stomach. I just hear a little voice, saying "exacerbation of everything that's terrible about the current state of video games..."

It's all about the games.
And 2001 has this year, and probably all years, beat by a country mile.
It'll be better than last year that's for sure.
Usually because they get delayed. If not, then once you actually play the game you realize there's no substancePeople say this every year and it never ends up being the case.
2011 was the best year for PS3.
2011 had an amazing fall/winter lineup.
Also you forgot Fire Emblem Awakening which is my GOTY so far. Don't ask how many 2013 games I've played.
Ding ding ding1998 and 2007 are still king.
Your upcoming games list has maybe 2 I'm interested in, and 0 I expect to be an all time classic. Hardware launches don't make for a great video game year (and what makes this round of hardware better than previous ones)? In short, this seems like it's going to be a down year.
I can't imagine why. Dark Souls is the only game that comes to mind. But I tend to not actually count cross-platform games since I play much of them on the PC anyway.
Fire Emblem - I admit that I have not played any game in this franchise, but Awakening looks too cool to pass up on. It's time I try out some more Nintendo franchises anyway. I just hope it isn't too hard for my little brain to handle.
Pikmin 3 - Been so long since the last Pikmin, but the wait is almost over.
Wonderful 101 - This game looks so colorful, quirky, and over the top. You can't get much more wonderful than that.
Rayman Legends - Damn you Ubisoft. Damn you for delaying this sweet ass looking game. Rayman, we will wait for you!
Ni No Kuni - I'm not even sure how the gameplay works, but it's hard to resist the game's distinctive art style and charming characters.
Dark Souls 2 - One of the few series this gen that I regret not being able to get a chance to play yet. Dark Souls 2 seems like a brutally rewarding game with awesome monster designs. I'm hoping Namco Bandai finds it in its dark heart to port this game over to Wii U. I don't care if its 3 years from now, do it and I'll buy it so long as the game is good.
Bioshock Infinite - I'm not sure how well the gamem ay end up being, but I like the concept
Metal Gear Solid Rising - I'm not a fan of the MGS series, but Platinum seems to have nailed the areas of this spin-off game where it counts, and I'd be willing to give it a slice.
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon - I haven't played the original game, but the sequel looks like its going to be bigger and better.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team - I was a slightly concerned that we may see this franchise appear on the 3DS, but it has! I can't wait to get inside Luigi's head.
Wind Waker HD - A lot of us have been contemplating the idea of Nintendo doing some HD ports of GameCube games. Some times, dreams do come true, but hopefully the changes Nintendo makes doesn't turn out to be a nightmare.
Killer is Dead - We still don't knw much about it, but I've always been interested in Suda 51's projects. With any luck, this game will be more mechanically sound than compared to the last couple of Grasshopper Manufacture titles. It also better be totally batshit insane cause that's how we like our Suda 51 games.
Pokemon X & Y - Is anyone else still shocked that there's a new Pokemon game coming out this year with some big changes coming again ? I almost feel sorry for the development team.
Castlevania: Mirror of Fate - I'm still on the fence with this game, but I desperately want to play a new handheld Castlevania game. Please be good.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate - As a Monster Hunter fan I need more Monster Hunter. It's as simple as that.
Dragon's Crown - I expect this game to look and sound beautiful, but suffer from repetitive gameplay... but that's okay. Vanillaware games are still fun. Too bad I have no plans to own a PS Vita.
Lego City: Undercover - I have only played Lego Batman and did not care for it at all., yet there's something about Undercover that has me excited. Maybe its the cheesy 80's cop vibe or the variety of things to do in a seemingly big world. Maybe its both.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf - While the life sim genre is not my cup of tea (though I haven't actually played Animal Crossing before) , I do appriciate Animal Crossing's charming visual style and quirky nature. It seems like Nintendo's team has put in a good effort with this new compared to the last one released on the home console.
Metro: Last Light - I still don't know much about this game, but I like what little footage I have scene of it.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2 - I don't know much about the first game or what to expect from the sequel, but that announcement trailer was pretty wicked, huh ?
There's some other games that may come out in 2013 from developers like Nintendo, but I decided not to mention them since they haven't been officially confirmed foe release. also, Square Enix, don't be a jerk, localize Bravely Default!
Your spoiler instantly makes 2011 the worst.LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3,Infamous 2, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3. Not necessarily the peaks of their respective series, but having them all in one year was pretty special.SOCOM 4,

So the Oculus Rift is not exciting at all in your eyes? The fact that it could change the way we play games forever?
I'm just going on what I have seen and impressions, most of which have said its the future of gaming.
That alone makes 2013 special for gaming, and like many have said I have left off a ton of titles on my list that when mentioned only fuel my prediction of this being the best gaming year.
I cant understand how you can call it a down year? My mind is blown.

Because nothing has come out. Because things get pushed back Because developers say a lot of things.
Thats why this year could be the best year for gaming ever, it has the potential to be the best because of the combination of revolutionary hardware/new consoles/ great software line ups across all current consoles.
You wouldn't of made a statement like I did at the begging of 2012 because 2012 felt crap begging to end, and that goes for many other years as well.
