Wii U
Nintendo's home console presence in 2012 has been rather quiet. That is to say it's been effectively nonexistent as the company prepared to launch its next generation--Wii U. The innovative, dual-screen system debuted in the United States just a few weeks ago, armed with nearly two dozen titles, original and port alike. Wii U hasn't been without its growing pains, but it still has some truly great games in its library. And that's why we're here--to recognize what has already risen to the top of a very young system's library.
Wii U aside, software for Wii wasn't completely absent, and over the past year two incredible RPGs snuck their way to the system. For that reason, we're recognizing them alongside Wii U software - a final nod to the last days of a truly great system.
