2017 was a weak year for the 3DS. While there were a few heavy hitters, this marked the first year Nintendo themselves slowed down releases for the system. Is this a sign a new portable system is coming, or the end of the DS series as we know it?
Metroid: Samus Returns
There was almost no competition this year. With this being the first Metroid release since Metroid: Other M a year ago, it’s one of the most exciting Nintendo releases yet. The game was a retelling of Metroid II for GameBoy, and despite being a remaster, the game felt all new.
