Just realized it's going to be an awesome year for handhelds... fuck I'm excited

Pokemon will probably have the best chance but it'd be cool if fire emblem would win it!

If what people have been saying is accurate, then it's got a chance!

I sure hope so, loving the game so far. But pokemon may steal it's crown, it will be an interesting battle.

I don't know, I can't play it, because despite pre ordering, Nintendo screwed the pooch.

Nintendo, you finally make a motherf***ing game that I want to play for 3DS, and you of course screw it up. Thanks for nothing.

This is ridiculous.

I don't know, I have a feeling Tearaway is going to be amazing but then again it could be completely shit. I think we all know who the best graphics on a handheld will go to for example but something like best handheld game is too early to call.

Probably, but expect Sony-fanboys to hype up Soul Sacrifice as the next god

Depends on how good Pokemon and Soul Sacrifice turn out. Then you have all the unannounced titles for 2013.

I don't believe Luigi's mansion will be nearly as good as ppl expect it to be. I expect it to have alot of 8 or 8.5/10 from critics (wich would still be great).

I think FE can win cause it's a refreshing entry in a established franchise. That title was able to make turn the FE into a mainstream franchise, and that alone is a big argument for GoTy.

Too early. We don't know enough about what the second half of 2013 entails. The first half is already pretty competitive, with a few more 3DS titles and Soul Sacrifice coming up in the next few months.

On a semi-related note, I'm still sore that Zero Escape didn't receive more awards last year. Had to settle for "Handheld Game of the Year" from GameInformer and little else. A very unique and exciting game on both 3DS and Vita.
