So I got my issue of Nintendo Power in the mail the other day (3DS Launch issue, main story on Super Street Fighter IV 3D along with other launch window games) and lo and behold, the results for their GOTY Award nominations was there as well.
So just in case you were curious, I'll deliver the results.

Nice to see plenty of games get mentions, but it's a bummer to see Kirby's Epic Yarn miss out on the fun (The Platformer genre was stacked this year though...). Still, Galaxy 2 is an incredible game, so I'm happy to see it get some love. ^_^
And no, I really don't understand what the "Finish Strong Award" is either, maybe best ending? *shrugs*
