[quote]With no new hardware to launch, Nintendo spent 2013 focusing on games, and it’s been uncommonly prolific. 3DS got the best Animal Crossing, the best Fire Emblem and, in X&Y, perhaps the best Pokémon yet. On Wii U, we had a loving Pikmin update and the vibrant, majestic Super Mario 3D World. Also encouraging was a willingness to partner with external studios. The Wonderful 101 might not have hit the mark, but it represents a welcome shift away from total dependency on peerless internal studios.[/quote]
[u]MetaCritic (lol) scores[/u]
Super Mario 3D World - 94
Pikmin 3 - 87
Wonderful 101 - 78 (IGN: Too hard)
Fire Emblem Awakening - 92
Pokemon X/Y - 87/88 (Same game, two different score. Metacritic everyone)
Animal Crossing New Leaf - 88
A Link Between Worlds - 91
Say what you will, no other dev studio put out as many quality games this year.

Fire Emblem Awakening is my GOTY.

I love Nintendo games, but I have to say this. There marketing is just bad. I haven't seen any ads for Nintendo up until this fall/winter, they are focusing on family rather than promoting all the games, like they are going to fall for it again, and the recent crash of the Nintendo eShop/PokeBank Delay isn't helping the current situation. They are going to have to kiss ass for a while and get new people to market over in the US.

Edited by nao: 12/30/2013 4:34:20 AMJust realized most of the games I played this year were Nintendo games. Can't really think of another developer that's put out as many and as good of games this year, so its definitely deserved.
