3DS Retail Game of the Year

[Wii]

The choices are shamelessly nicked from Nintendolife.

 

• Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
  
• Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
  
• Fantasy Life
  
• Kirby: Triple Deluxe
  
• Mario Golf: World Tour
  
• Tomodachi Life
  
• Pokémon Art Academy
  
• Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
  
• Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
  
• Bravely Default
  
• Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
  
• Disney Magical World
  
• Yoshi's New Island
  
• Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars
  
• Ultimate NES Remix
  
• Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
  
• Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley
  
• Other
  

 

You have until just after the end of the first week in the New Year to make your choice. Should give you plenty of time to play some more games. Sorry @tapedeck, I did say a thread with a poll would be better. It will give an overall visual result and show how people are voting. You can only pick one but you can obviously discuss all the other great games played throughout the year. I'd like to have 5 polls in the one thread but it's only 1 poll per thread so onwards to the next one. If the mods can merge the 5 into 1 somehow that would be great.

For sheer hours put into it Mario Golf:World Tour (over 100 hours), but would like to pick up Fantasy Life at some time.

[Rummy]

These threads are really making me realise how poor my gaming has been this year! Only one title off this list for me played this year(excepting Smash demo) and that's Fantasy Life! I have been rather loving it though, would def give it my vote

[Ronnie]

Yeah I gave Fantasy Life my vote as well, Kirby Triple Deluxe a very close second, then Mario Golf and Smash.

[Grazza]

I didn't enjoy any of them very much, but I'd vote for Etrian Odyssey Untold if it was there, as it was 99.9% good. By the way, sorry to be pedantic as I know it's a lot of work making these polls, but Conception II wasn't retail - OK, maybe it was download-only retail, but it wasn't as good as Etrian Odyssey anyway.

[Jimbob]

Wow, that's making me think how little i've bought for the 3DS in terms of games. Out of the ones i've played, i voted for Mario Golf: World Tour. Such a brilliant return to form in the way of golf.

[Glen-i]

Surprised Bravely Default counts, considering it came out December 2013.

 

I would have voted for that if Smash wasn't there.

Nicking and editing what I said about it from my top 10 Games of the year.

 

If I had to choose one version, I'd go for the one with better stages and Smash Run. Sure the controls are not ideal, but I cope with them just fine. Even with WiiU out, I still play this one more.

Other than that, do I really need to explain why I like Smash? It's Smash!

[Mr-Paul]

Layton was last year as well.

 

Anyway, gotta be Smash.

He's just copied the list from Nintendo Life, who are going by the US release dates (Bravely Default was February 2014 there, as was Layton 6).

[EEVILMURRAY]

Like many others. The winner will be such a surprise

 

 

... This

I enjoyed this year alot! The best titles for me were Pokemon ORAS, Smash, Fantasy Life and Kirby.

 

Kirby triple deluxe takes the trophy home though. It was a joy from beginning to end to play, and also a perfect example

of how to utilise the 3DS hardware to it's full extend. I loved the music, visuals, minigames and the level design!
