Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

South park the stick of truth

This war of mine



No Forza Horizon 2? tut tut tut.



I hope Smash wins! It was their highest reviewed game of the year, so it has a great chance!



Around the Network

I reckon Smash might pick up the largest number of GOTY awards this year based on its Metascore, not just form IGN but elsewhere. Bayo 2 and DA:I are in with a shot and I'd be alright with seeing any one of those three win it from IGN, too.

Really surprised at the Mario Kart 8 snub, though I can see MK8 potentially getting a few mentions on other sites (again, going by how positive reviews were for it). It's probably a lock for best racing game, anyway, unless IGN gives it to Forza Horizon 2.



Weak list, for a relatively weak year. Maybe not weak for Nintendo, but I wouldn't know.
It doesn't surprise me not to see Dark Souls 2, just like the first game, it is not mainstream or cool enough to get gotys. That doesn't change the fact that the game is very well-made, it prioritizes the quality of content over the quantity unlike Dragon Age.



Bias against nintendo from IGN. Should be more Ninty games on the list.



Dark Souls 2 is missing.



Mario Kart 8 should be up there.
