I'd give this year a 4/10 for Nintendo. Overall, it was a very disappointing year with no standout games to me. So far, my GOTY is The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes, which was only a decent game, but I'm sure Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon will surpass it when I finally get a chance to play after finals. The games I bought this year for 3DS and Wii U were The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden, Splatoon, Majora's Mask, Super Mario Maker, and Yoshi's Wooly World and nothing truly stood out to me. None of these games managed to get into my top 50 games of all time. This year was mostly spent clearing my backlog and replaying older games.
2014 was much, much better with Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Pokemon OR/AS, Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS, Bravely Default, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and Shovel Knight. Four of these managed to get into my top 50 of all time.
2016 will definitely be better as well. Fire Emblem: Fates alone makes next year better, not to mention Zelda U, Pokken, and SMT x FE being day one games for me for sure. As well as other possible buys such as Dragon Quest VII and VIII, Paper Jam, and Bravely Second.
