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.

 

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.
