What's your game of the year? - Nintendo 3DS Forum

So The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has just been named game of the year by Gamespot. What do you guys think? I'm not necessarily a Nintendo fanboy - despite being a member of a website called Nintendolife - but I honestly think this is a great choice! First of all, it acknowledges that the 3DS has had a stunning year and it's nice to see game of the year go to a handheld game for a change. Secondly, Zelda has been in a bit of a slump for years and 'Link Between Worlds' really is the best Zelda - in my opinion - since Windwaker (over a decade ago). The Last of Us was great and all and Mario was a heck of a lot of fun, but neither left me as giddy as Link did - as amazing as 3D World was, it couldn't quite shake the feeling of being a lesser or more generic 'Galaxy' game (Don't get me wrong, it's a 10 out of 10 for me, just not exactly revolutionary like a 'game of the year' should be). And giddy really is how I still feel now when I think about A Link Between Worlds, it's a game I'm dying to dive into again - and in fact that's what I'm gunna do right now - and my personal game of the year as well. What's your game of the year? Do you think Gamespot got it right?

My 3DS GOTY is Bravely Default. It was easy choice... Why? I was waiting a long time for such a game. A fully-voiced RPG that might appeal to Western audience. It offers hundreds hours of enjoyment. It brings many new inovations to a "dead genre". Besides it looks very nice and it has truly wonderful music. And that's why I believe this game deserves the recognition.

A strong man doesn't need to read the future... He makes his own.

For 3DS? Right now it's still Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but my answer may very well change after I've put some more time into ALBW. I just finished the 3rd dungeon and I'm really digging it so far.

I know it technically came out last year, but quite a few platforms just got it this year so I'll go ahead and say Hotline Miami is my runner-up. I bought it on a whim from Steam and decided to actually play it, (how often does that happen), and it's incredibly fun. I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel next year.
