@MeWario

Yeah, I need to buy less games.

Fire Emblem Awakening.

Super Mario 3D World. After something around 60 hrs I still can't get enough of this game, even though I beat champion road with all characters. It's everything I expected from Mario game and more - this game is pure fun and gold, and they got rid off everything I hated about Galaxies. That's my number 1. The second is The Wonderful 101 - I know I will replay it soon on hard to get platinum on everything! Others in no particiular order
3. Dual Destinies
4. Metal Gear Rising
5. Arkham Origins
6. Metro
7. Enemy Within
8. Tomb Raider
9. DmC
10. The Last of Us

My GOTY is Rayman Legends unless AA5 ends up as the best game in that series by the end or The Stanley Parable ends up being fresh despite watching a large chunk of the game already.

Professor Layton and the Azran legacy

@MeWario Okay, fine! grumbles jk, um, new leaf.

Bravely Default, very near the end now I think but want to get as many sidequest's as I can before bringing the game to a close

I didn't get too many games over the past year...

I'd say MY GOTY for the 3DS is Animal Crossing New Leaf. It's such a well put together game with a great social experience. I sadly don't have the game anymore, but it's still incredible.

up to now it is a draw between FE:A and MH3U but soon it may change(or not)
and SteamWorld Dig as the best Eshop game of the year!

@CanisWolfred
I enjoyed both Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. No, they weren't the best in the series, but they were fresh and interesting. I know not many people agree with me on this, but I think Skyward Sword is on of the best games in the entire series.

@MeWario
I think calling the games garbage is pretty extreme.

My game of the year is

THE WONDERFUL 101!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's everything I've ever wanted in a video game.

It also suffers the terrible fate of being a brand new IP from Nintendo like everyone wanted, but no one bought it. It's a beautiful and challenging game full of non-stop action, superheroes, bright vivid colors, story, collectables, characters, drama, comedy, and so much more! It also has one of the most satisfying endings to a game I've ever played.

There hasn't been a game on the 3DS or Wii U that has really grabbed my attention yet this year. I would love to say 2006's Metroid Prime Hunters is again my GOTY, but based on my experiences currently in SM3DL, I guess I'll follow the rule of the GOTY being from this year and pick a game I have yet to experience, Super Mario 3D World. Hopefully A Link Between Worlds is as short as they say, because that kind of experience looks like it'll have a good chance of winning me over with the 3DS this year when my interest has largely stalled out on grinders like New Leaf and Pokémon X.

Oh yeah, my GOTY is currently Etrian Odyssey IV. In fact, most of my gaming time this year playing Etrian Odyssey. I still gotta play EO Untold, A Link Between Worlds, and Ys Vita, though. Ni no Kuni's also slowly becoming my Game of the Year.

I want to play Ni No Kuni so bad. I need a PS3.. when I first saw Ni No Kuni and that it was done from Miyozaki I was amazed. I convinced my friend who used to be big on RPG's to buy it but he never really got into it, which surprised me. I still want to play it though I know I'll like it. I should just cave and buy a PS3. -_-

Home Console GotY: Pikmin 3 (WiiU)
It's one of the few games I ever played that manages to satisfy my two "player sides", as it is both mindlessly fun and poetic at the same time. As silly as it sounds, I actually feel like s**t when I waste some Pikmin's life or can't save all of them. Plus, with every DLC they are adding more substance to an already brilliant concept (Mission Mode) and this is making the game better and better.

Handheld GotY: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies (3DS)
I've played very few hh games released this year because I got my 3DS back only recently (actually I had to buy another one). I haven't finished Dual Destinies yet but it's shaping up one of the finest AA games ever. I have played all the AA games but not in order - Trials and Tribulations was the last one I played and it really disappointed me because it was sooooo long winded and verbose, it really was Phoenix Wright's Be Here Now. So far Dual Destinies is brilliant and if it keeps this pace to the end is going to be the best episode in the saga.

Indie GotY: Cloudberry Kingdom (WiiU et al)
Usually high-profile western indie games go hand in hand with a high desire to communicate "something" metaphorically , or at least generate emotions that go beyond the game itself (see Braid, Little Inferno, Limbo etc) but Clodberry Kingdom doesn't pretend it has something to say - it's just pure fun of the highest caliber. I think trial and error games are, for some reason, very rewarding and CK is just a continuous trial and error thingy, which I though was incredibly satisfying to play.

Well, up until the moment I started Fire Emblem this would have been a contest between ACNL and Pokemon, but now that I've played Fire Emblem, it's Fire Emblem.
