Not meaning to sound like a whiny fandboy of another console, book look at the nominees. That was another one of those contests where they have to nominate themselves and I'm guessing that Nintendo, like they've done in other similar contests, didn't bother applying.

The award is for EU developers only. I think Rare was the only EU based studio that Nintendo had.

 No offense to Europe, but winning a European developers award is like winning the special olympics.  There are some good ones out there, but when you're on a list with Red Steel, well, do I really have to go on?

It also had Crackdown (many peoples game of the year so far), Motorstorm, Crush, GRAW 2 and Viva Pinata. It also had Lego Star Wars, while not my type of game it is pretty well recived.

I think if you were to take the NA developers and look at the last year you would also find a similar lack of depth. You would really only have Gears of War and Resistance battling it out for game of the year. Sup Com, Company of Heroes. Can't really think of anything else.

The only area with real depth is the Japanese market as they seem to be releasing quality titles across the 5 main platforms.
