Forums - Nintendo - Will Nintendo have any games nominated for overall Game of the Year awards?

Not that it matters really as long as there have been games you've enjoyed.  But do you think there will be any DS or Wii games that make Overall Game of the Year award competitions on the big sites like IGN, Gamespot, Gametrailers, etc.? I know IGN didn't have a Nintendo game nominated last year, I'm not sure about the others, but it seems like it would be strange if no game on a Nintendo console had been nominated 2 years in a row.

Possible Candidates

Wii

New Super Mario Bros.

Metroid Prime Trilogy

Madworld (IGN)

DS

Mario and Luigi 3

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Zelda: Spirit Tracks

So what do you think, will at least one game on a Nintendo platform this year be nominated for overall Game of the Year awards? If so which one/or ones do you think it will be?



Around the Network

Mario N Luigi 3 could be...
Otherwise....
i would say....
well sorry but no
Zelda ?



If you think you're gaming too much, Game even more !

Scribblenauts perhaps?

And yeah I think NSMBW will be in quite a few places.



Maybe Silent Hill: Shattered Memories has a small minimal chance for ign extiment and it won best of wii e3 award, in ds scribblenauts could have been a winner but 8.7 no way



I really doubt it, actually. The gaming media has largely been very dissatisfied with the Wii's lineup this year, and none of it has been deemed so excellent by them as to surpass all else

 

Your basic overall goty contenders are going to be Uncharted 2, MW2, and Arkham Asylum. Possibly Brutal Legend, depending on how much hype it actually gets near the end.

 

Depending on how it goes, Other M could be a goty contender, next year, so could Zelda, next year or the year after.

EDIT: DS games will never be in contention, i'm sorry to say. May sound a bit pessimistic, but that's how the trend goes. Console games >> handheld games. I don't subscribe to that idea at all, but that's how the media goes.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

scribblenauts will get most innovative. but not goty.

Aside from that, NSMBWii might have a chance, but it's going to have to be really good to beat both KZ2 and uncharted 2



No, probably not. The Wii's line-up this year was lackluster when it comes to Nintendo-made games.



Scribblenauts has a chance, I think. In fact, I'd bet money that either Scribble, Chinatown Wars, or Kingdom Hearts will get at least handheld game of the year from many places.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Mr Khan,twice I have seen a DS game in the Overall GOTY list by gamespy(as high as number 4).Scribblenauts can still be nominated even with an 8.7 just for innovation.Okami wa what,a 9.0?NSMB & MPtrilogy,yeah.The wii didn't have GOOD hardcore games this year,Red Steel 2 was postponed.Next year:Other M,No More Heroes 2,Monster Hunter,Red Steel 2,I doubt Zelda will be next year,The Grinder,Mario Galaxy 2,maybe even Pikmin 3,I'm saving up dough!

He did say get nominated right?Not win it.So it doesn't have 2 beat Uncharted 2,Arkham Asylum or MW2(Killzone 2.....I dunno,too controversial).It only has to be in the top 5 GOTY.
