Huh?  What disproves my 'little" theory?

Oh, certainly, they hate Nintendo so much that all Nintendo games get horrible reviews.  It's so obvious.

The gaming media only gives Nintendo exclusive great reviews so they can pretend they aren't biased when they don't give them a GOTY award. Except when they do. On those occasions it's obviously because they're playing the long(er) game.

Devious.  The conspiracy deepens.  Was blind but now I see.

The lack of major success has more to do with it as well. Most GOTY are awarded to successful games and while an excellent game, if the fans didn't buy it or play it, nobody is going to award it.





Apparently not, sales = quality according to you. The majority liked those games over 99% of the third party titles. Mario Kart Wii is still outselling a lot of third party games that came out this year. 

No, what I said is success seemed to impact the voting of GOY which has nothing to do with my opinion. Relax youself buddy.

Then Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sports and Wii Fit should have won GOTY.

Let's just say the voters aren't representative of the gaming public. If this was a law case Nintendo would get the entire jury dismissed. It's like a black guy facing an all-white jury (or vice versa).

And thats exactly one of the thigs that are wrong, the game of the year should be the best game not the most popular one

This is where metacritic lies to you guys badly. Because a site gives a big scores does not decides game of the year. Game of the year can be a team or personal decisions based on the games they enjoy. while, the review is just one person opinion.

Perhaps the review shouldn't be one person's opinion then.

I'm sure they also lost the users voting as well. Most of the people who bought these games not only doesnt know or care about GOY.

Let's change what a review is so you can be happy.

Smash and MK8 are winning a decent number of GOTY awards from what I'm seeing!

Which further proves my point. Nintendo's audience isn't scurrying the internet for Nintendo news.
Doesn't dismiss the fact that they can consider those games to be their GOTY.
