Pretty good overall.

3DS - lots of great games for the first few years. 3D Land, MK7, FE:A, Star Fox 64 3D, Theatrythm, Project X Zone, VLR etc. Have lost interest over the last year, despite there still being new releases that I like the look of. I think a combination of being annoyed at the N3DS and it's software exclusives and a general waning of interest in handheld gaming has meant that it has not been turned on in a while.

Vita - Had a great year with the console in 2014, catching up on releases. Uncharted GA, Wipeout 2048, LBP Vita, Tearaway Unfolded, Persona 5, Ys Memories of Celceta, Danganronpa 1 & 2 and Gravity Rush were all great. Haven't played it at all this year though, really nothing of great interest for me on the system right now.

Wii U - Lots of droughts, poor online and lack of features have been an annoying part of the Wii U. But it has had some great games. 3D World, MK8, Splatoon, Zombi U, Rayman Legends, Bayonetta 1&2, W101, Mario Maker and a few others have been fantastic games. There isn't too much more to look forward to this gen, Xenoblade, Star Fox and SMT x FE being the big ones. A decent console, but has certainly put me off buying a Nintendo home console early in the gen. Looking forward to seeing what NX is though.

PS4 - Pretty great so far. Constant stream of games that I want to buy, probably at least 15 games behind already. Have enjoyed exclusives like TLoUR, inFamous and Driveclub, and looking forward to getting Bloodborne, Until Dawn, Dragon Quest Heroes and NDC. Third party games like DA:I, Far Cry 4, Wolfenstein, Alien Isolation and Dark Souls 2 have been good to fantastic. Also indies are getting better and better. Games like Rocket League and Vanishing of Ethan Carter are a good addition to the library. Japanese support looks to be better than last gen as well. Persona and mainline Dragon Quest back on home console after all these years is very welcome.

So many games coming up as well. Star Wars, Fallout, Just Cause 3, Mirrors Edge 2, Deus Ex, Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4, Ratchet & Clank, Gravity Rush 2, Last Guardian, Mass Effect, Horizon, GT Sport, Detroit, FFXV, Kingdom Hearts 3, Dragon Quest XI, Doom, Dishonoured 2, Mafia 3, Persona 5, Nier 2, Nioh, Shenmue 3, FFVII R. Ton to look forward to.

Looking to get a deal on X1 this month or next to complete the set, as I like the look of the X1 lineup next year, and there is quite a bit on the system I want to play already.
