I don't know if this game (NSMBWii) deserves to be game of the year (haven't played it yet) but I do have a problem with people who say that it doesn't deserve to be considered just because it's 2D or a platformer etc. There seems to be a mentality among SOME people that a game has to be 3D and has to have cinematics to be considered in the upper echelon of gaming and I just think it's very narrow-minded perspective.

Furthermore half of the people arguing in this thread haven't played one or the other games being discussed, which is fine, you can only vouch for games that you have played but you can't stand there with a straight face and say that 'your' game IS better. Why wouldn't you be interested in trying the other game to see if it is in fact better than your game of the year? I don't understand this blind loyalty that some people have to a particular company or a particular gaming franchse, the only loyalty you should have as a gamer is to the experience of gaming.
