Multiplayer GOTY with only a handful of maps and limited modes and no communication. Seems legit.


Well, they had to give Nintendo something.

Yes, two fully deserved awards.

With SMM it was 3. Wich is not mindblowing but they were nominated to 5 and they only had chance to win 4 (because splatoon and smm were in the same category), so they won 3 out of 4 nominations.

And one curious thing: With a PC you can play ALL the rest of awards, there was not a single award for any Ps4 or Xbone exclusives, yet there was some for PC exclusives like Her Story. WiiU was the only console winning awards for 2 exclusive games. As I always said, PC + WiiU is the way to go.

I think Halo and CoD are designed for competitive play. The bar for Splatoon is lower then what is expected in other shooters.

Who cares if its the most popular shooter in Japan? Is that supposed to mean something?

If you're gonna  compare it to Titanfall then I want to see population numbers for Splatoon. Oh right, Nintendo isn't showing that.

I think Halo and CoD are more compettive games. But hey, casual shooters can be fun too. I just role my eyes at these awards. If that offends you... deal with it.

You re the one that needs to get over the fact Splatoon has won to 4 of the most profitable and expensive games of the industry. In 2 categories against them. Including XBONE big star, Halo 5. It is not the most popular, not the most profitable, not the most ambitious, not the most expensive, not the most "hardcore", BUT still won. Maybe that's because the game is freaking brilliant and some of you just don't see it or dont want to see it.

And please, are you saying that the population is low because Nintendo isnt showing? my god...That game is plenty of players every hour of every day and the amount of sales never stop as all the charts show. We dont need a number to see the obvious, Splatoon is having WAY more life than Titanfall. In fact people still talks about it, no one talked about Titanfall at the third month.

I'm not angry about Splatoon winning those awards, its a joke to me and many other people. But hey, if those awards mean alot to you, enjoy them!

I own Splatoon by the way. Like many people I received my copy free simply for buying a Wii U. Its fun, it really is, but its not an ambitious game. Other shooters would get ripped apart for offering so little. But whatever, these awards are a good laugh.

Even now I could play Titanfall any time of the day and find plenty of people to play with. I've seen Splatoon comparisons to Titanfall in the past. I think people forget Titanfall is nearing 2 years old, still active, and on more relevant platforms with shooters constantly coming.

It is ambitious because it's different. That's basically the definition of ambitious. So...that statement doesn't make much sense. If by ambitious you mean "fleshed out", then yeah, I could maybe see where you are coming from.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Hey, let's not narrow down our vision like that.

Most of of the nominees were great games. Namely, i would not ignore Bloodborne just cause The Witcher 3 was picked as better in RPG/GOTY categories.
Both games were amazing, they just had to pick one.

Overall, only the handheld category let me down, but tbh i never played Lara Croft GO. Would still prefer MH4 or at least Fall Out mobile.

If you count ''Develop of the Year'', The Witcher 3 took 3. Develop, RPG and GOTY.
