Everyone's focussing on NSMB Wii not being up for overall game of the year. I don't have a problem with that. There was VERY stiff competition this year with the likes of MW2, Uncharted 2, Batman AA etc.
I think the more important point from the OP is about Wii game of the year:
"They don't pick Wii exclusive games for wii game of the year"
I think they wanted to give DJ Hero and Beatles their fair due since they are great games and were squeezed out of other game of the year categories. But I don't think the choices were appropriate for the Wii when you had games like Little King's Story and Punchout this year.
I'll say it again, Shane Satterfield said that he thought LKS was one of the great games of 2009. Sure, it might not compete with the likes of MW2 and Uncharted 2 for mass appeal and critical acclaim, but it doesn't have to to be nominated for Wii game of the year!
So why weren't LKS and Punch Out nominated? It's a mystery.
