If 1992 goes to Mario Kart and 1993 goes to Link's Awakening or Mario All-Stars we should just change the name of these threads from "Game of the Year" to "Nintendo Game of the Year"

It will get also more PS-titles, once historically PS starts gearing up. The truth is this site is heavily console-biased, so PC, phone or arcade games come with an disadvantage at these polls. Insofar it is more surprising how well some PC games hold up in comparison in some of these year polls.

Couldn't agree with what you're saying any more. Shame there's very little love for Sega these days. I think people are very likely to vote for older entries in franchises they're stil interested in (ie Mario, Zelda, FF, etc), so even though Nintendo and Sega were neck and neck in the 4th gen on the console front, these retrospective polls don't show that.

Hopefully we do get more balance from the big PS games, but the PS userbase has always been more fragmented than Nintendo's where people tend to play the same few 1st party games
