Despite heavy remakes being made on the 3DS, this was a strong year for the system. The 3DS has proven to be one of the greatest handheld platforms of all time even outdoing its larger console brethren.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D may be the most ambitious and largest portable game ever made. Porting an entire RPG onto a handheld is no small feat, and despite a few major setbacks, the game proved extremely popular and well done as well as selling a whole new system. With an epic tale, fantastic visuals, and great combat, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D proves that massive console games can work on handheld systems.
