For treating the 3DS like this in the West. I mean after a fantastic ending last year with SM3D Land and MK7 which really resurged the 3DS, we all expected that this year, or at least the holiday season, would provide the same or more. Yet for all the promise of Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion by the end of the year, they've been delayed to 2013 for us. And whereas Japan has the total support of 3rd parties, it's been somewhat lackluster for the 3DS over here.
That's not even the only thing bothering me! While the DS had a constant release of fresh new IP's that changed the gaming world from Brain Training, Nintendogs, the first 2D Mario game in 15 years, etc... The 3DS hasn't really shown anything new to offer. They've gone back to the GC days of just recycling old franchises, and worst of it all just giving us ports from the N64 era. This really is a dangerous road to take. Reggie promised last year a lot of innovation coming along, and we're still waiting. And even if Nintendogs and Brain Training weren't for everyone, they helped capitalise on the touch screen market and give us amazing experiences like Professor Layton.
All in all it's been a really disappointing 2012. I expected much more! 2013 offers a bit of promise with Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter, and Luigi's Mansion releasing, but there's a lack of new ideas! And I wouldn't be surprised if the 3DS ends up as the worst selling handheld for Nintendo unless something changes soon.
Thoughts?

Wii U.
That's eaten up a ton of their resources and time this year.

The amount of games Nintendo used to release on the DS was insane! I know they were easy to make, but still it's been a dry year! Especially knowing that a lot of the games not released yet have been promised before launch. There's also a new Super Smash Bros game that I didn't mention, but I wouldn't be surprsed if it gets released in 2015 :|
