2014 has been another year where Nintendo had its ups and downs, but regardless of how well the 3DS or Wii U is selling, we still played some amazing games on those systems. So, let's sit together and celebrate our 10 favorite games of the year.

The following games are presented in no particular order. These are just games we loved and want to talk about. If you really want to know though, this list was forged in the deep, dark pits of Death Mountain where a group of our staff argued and bickered for hours, barred from emerging until the list was down to 10.

Let us know in the comments below what you think of our selections, or if you feel like we missed any hidden gems.
