Title: Nintendo World Report's Year in Review
Post by: JusDBerube on December 19, 2013, 10:27:21 PM

Join us as we take a look back at 2013.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/36187

The year is coming to a close and we here at Nintendo World Report thought it would be a good idea to take a look back at 2013. The year has been full of highs and lows for Nintendo fans. The 3DS continued to prove it's one of, if not, the best handheld Nintendo has ever released. On the flip side, the Wii U has struggled to take off even though it had some solid software launch for it in the back half of the year.

Starting tomorrow, and going one month per day, we shall be looking back at some of the best Features, Reviews, News, and Events that we have covered throughout the year. This will, of course, also include comments from our wonderful staff.

Think of this feature as a yearbook for Nintendo World Report. We would also love to hear from our readers as well, so be sure to chime in daily and let us know what you thought about each month of the year, and 2013 in general.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Hey, Luigi! Remember when I said it was your year?

I think I may have been a bit mistaken.

2014 is all yours though!

Will not comment on the hoopla around the console this year, because i am that weirdo who thinks console are about games so my report is ALL about games.

I skipped most of the hot stuff 3DS was getting this year:


The biggest highlight on the 3DS for me this year was me starting to play Kid Icarus: Uprising again. Finished the story and dumped some serious hours into it. And still feel like playing it even more. Also played a few DS and GBA games. Otherwise, most of my Nintendo gaming time went on Wii U.

I haven't actually started gaming on consoles until three years ago so as you can guess i have decades old backlog worth of series that are completely unknown to me. That's why i rarely play games that actually came this year and most of it is just me catching up to general western audience who grew up with this stuff i was missing by surviving through post USSR 90s.

This is more or less what i played on Wii U this year:

Lots of semi random Wii stuff:


So with my favorite top three games for this year all being on Wii U (W101, Mario, TT 2), i say it was a great year.

the second one at least had a decent story going in from start to finish along with some neat imagery made using both screens. Based on the demo the third one just feels like they forgot what they did so well before.
