Well, I must admit that 2013 doesn't look to have a ton of empty spaces in the schedule. Good thing I have a job lined up for me...

The library for 3DS is already great and can only get better.

Out of all the new systems (3DS, Vita, and Wii U) it's definitely my favourite.

I didn't realize this was already posted, oops.

2013 is when it is really coming into its own. I feel good about purchasing it as Nintendo shows (in time) that they support their handhelds and solid third party support. It may be the system I buy the most games on this year.

Now you're talking about something different.  The market doesn't agree with you because the 3DS doesn't have variety, but because there is more competition from iOS/Android and other mobile devices/tablets.  Dedicated handheld market is contracting, and we won't see the sales we saw during the DS days.  But back to the point, the 3DS library is just fine.  There's a ton of variety and the games are selling well enough.  There may not be a lot of games for YOU personally, but you can't really project that on others.  Besides, comparing the DS' 8-year old library to the 3DS' 2 year old library isn't the most fair comparison.  But again, when all is said and done, I expect the 3DS library to be just as good, if not better, than the DS' library.  It's already beating it 2 years in when you compare them.

EDIT:  Beaten by soriku

The 3DS has a stacked lineup this year, the best of any console easily, and we just got even more announcements like Mario Golf and a new Mario and Luigi game.

Now Nintendo needs to pick up the release pace with the Wii U and give us some big heavy hitters, and not just remakes of GameCube games.

Totally agree!

It's not there yet. When I look at the library, I see 3 games that I absolutely need to own. FE, Resi Revelations, and Kid Icarus. SM3DL was poor, as was NSMB2. MK7 also felt very rushed.

The system is looking to have a killer year. I'll be ready to talk about it's greatness after I've played Zelda and Metroid.
