[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.

That great to hear and I can't wait for next year for the new games they will release!
