This is somehow completely unexpected and totally expected. How is that possible?

You know it deserves the GOTY.

Yeesh. Talk about a popularity reward.

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Not deserved, there are much better games from 2014 imo.

Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

It looks like it's a good game, but, I'm sure Bayo2/MK8/DA:I/Smash... are better games. But, hey, Famitsu loves popularity and its reviews reflect that feeling.

Isn't this a fan voted award? Which is why Monster Hunter has won like five times.

Edit: from Wikipedia, "Top prize winners are determined by a combination of critical and fan review scores as well as sales figures."

Luigi was named "Best Character" last year and Capcom got the "Best Game Maker Award". Heh.

That's great and all, I'm glad handheld games get some love too when it comes to game of the year. I personally can't say anything about it not deserving it because I obviously have not played it yet.

I guess my only question is why the heck did it take 4 months into 2015 to get their 2014 GOTY?
