Of course it is. It's the same reason why I think Valkyria Chronicles is the best thing released this generation. And it's stupid to assume that Nintendo's unannounced titles automatically get GOTY. @ SHMUP Eh, not too big a fan of side scrolling shooters. |
I didn't say Nintendo's unnanounced IP is getting GOTY. It's just a hunch I have. Nothing announced thus far from any first or third party developer for any console or handheld looks like a real contender, but there are some announced nominees I'm sure. Bioshock 2, Resident Evil 5 and Call of Duty 6 may all make the cut. Gran Turismo 5 may also, but racers tend to get shafted overall in this category, so I doubt it would win even if nominated by certain publications. Nintendo has a history of making the kinds of games that win GOTY. There is speculation/rumor that at least one of the three is coming out next year; Mario, Zelda or Kid Icarus, and I just have a feeling there's something up Nintendo's sleeve that is going to wow most people. The best candidates thus far are both on the PC, being Starcraft II and Bioware's new RPG Dragon Age(if it releases).
About the sentence to SHMUP, Treasure doesn't just make side scrolling shooters. They make platformers, beat 'em ups, fighters, on-rail shooters and action/adventure games too.
