It'd be cool if a downloadable art game like Journey won.

Also, why the hell isn't Kid Icarus: Uprising nominated for Best Handheld game, but NSMB2 is?

What's wrong with NSMB2?

Nothing is wrong with NSMB2. It's probably one of the best handheld games of the year. But Kid Icarus: Uprising is, in my humble estimation, one of the best handheld games ever made. It had a fun story with legitimately good writing, a lot of content, fast and diverse gameplay, simple controls, stellar presentation, a strong multiplayer component, huge replay value... it just goes on.

NSMB2 is a master of its genre, but Kid Icarus: Uprising is the best handheld shooter ever made. I think that it's better than most of those console shooters I've heard sooo much about this gen. It's my favorite shooter ever, and one of my top five Nintendo games.

I REALLY like it!

 

 

As for the Vita games that were shown... I haven't played them, and thus can't judge their inclusion one way or another.I'd have thought they'd throw in an Angry Birds title though, just to increase traffic.
