What’s hot on 3DS and Wii in 2012? I’ve made a list! Actually, technically I didn’t. The Nintendo rep did, and I copy-pasted it from the email and added this introductory stuff. Gaming journalismz is much, much more complicated than most people would think.

Anyway, Nintendo might be launching a new console this year, but that doesn’t mean they’re quitting the Wii, 3DS, and DS (yet). So here’s what you should be saving up for this year:
