Tri Force Heroes? Interesting.

If a lot of people really liked Tri Force Heroes, I guess we can't be ones to judge. It's not really even that surprising to me. Yeah, I also think that it was quite pleasant to see Xenoblade X be so popular. It's probably doing better than a lot of us thought it would a while ago, and if it would've launched on a console that was more powerful and competitive (hopefully what the NX will be), imagine the success it would achieve!

Hmmm, I can't argue with the Wii U top three even though Xenoblade would be my top pick. That 3ds list is kinda depressing though, didn't Majora's Mask and MH4U both release back in February? And Triforce Heroes is ok but not typical Zelda level of greatness.

Nice to Xenoblade X make it, despite being released only a couple of weeks ago

Go X!

I agree with both list.

A little surprised that Triforce was top 3 in the 3DS lineup, but I can't argue with these lists otherwise.

Ya 3DS software was a bit lackluster this year, a bunch of good games but not many great games, in terms of Nintendo published retail games in the US it looked something like this

February-Majora's Mask 3D

March-Codename STEAM, Fossil Fighters Frontier

April-Xenoblade Chronicles 3D

May-Puzzles & Dragons Z+Super Mario Edition

August-Little Battlers Experience

September-Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

October-Chibi Robo: Zip Lash, Triforce Heroes

November-Yokai Watch, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon

Monster Hunter 4 was the only real big 3rd party release with the rest being small niche Japanese games like Story of Seasons, Etrian Mystery Dungeon, Devil Survivor 2, Legend of Legacy or western games for young kids like Skylanders, Garfield Kart, Snoopy's Adventure, etc.

Edit: So 3DS lacked in terms of real big hitters this year but had a solid amount of good, small-mid size games which seems to be exactly the opposite of Wii U which had a few great games but lacks when it comes smaller support titles between big releases. 

What a terrible list for 3DS: I think many e-shop games might have been better choices than a Remake and a spin-off such as TH. to name one Boxboy! is an incredible game that takes a really simple concept and works around it in a really complicated way...

Yeah the 3DS line up this year was pretty bad (only bought Triforce Heroes which released this year). While in Japan they keep getting something awesome every month! Which that will be for us next year!
