| Bodhesatva said: A lot of award programs are lumping Mario under "action," actually -- 1up just did so, for example. The fact that there is no Platformer or "Casual" category but there is both a "shooter" category and a "military game" category is quite telling where their priorities lie here. This is a manly man's show. Nintendo has specifically used the term "testosterone driven" to describe Sony and Microsoft's strategy with their platforms; they clearly meant it as a pejorative, and they implied they were going a different direction. The direction the Wii has just does not fit a show that has categories for best action game, best shooter game, AND best military game, but has to akwardly jam Mario Galaxy and Wii Sports in to categories they really don't belong in. |
QFT,mario deserves his own platformer category
