Forums - Nintendo - Will NSMB Wii will be GOTY of 2009? PSSIBLE?

mortono on 30 October 2009

It might win some best of awards like "best wii game" or "best platformer", but I don't think it'll get any GOTY awards.

Not that it won't deserve it! It's just that GOTY awards don't usually go to 2d platformers in this day and age. It's the same thing for sports games and puzzle games. It's genre discrimination!

Wii game of the Year is to be expected, Overall GOTY is quite hard, may happen on one or two, maybe smaller, publications. I do expect a few nominations.

About innovation, I don't see the point. People say NSMB Wii has no innovation for GOTY and state MW2 is a good contender at the same time. Now, I haven't been following MW2 that much, so I may be off, but what big innovation does it bring?

And let's assume NSMB Wii is (maybe surprisingly?) good enough to be called best 2D Mario. Wouldn't that be big enough to qualify?

*looka at sig* "Not a big wii fan". Yeah I got my answer.

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

It won't be. Great game, but it's not gonna be GOTY. Maybe if it had online multiplayer.

Wait wut is NSMB?

@yushire
May I ask who is that girl in your avatar?

 

New super mario bros. and my avvy was Haruna kojima

 

@puffy----> So Malstrom was right about core gamers after all. I dont want to be frank but SMG isnt the "revolutionary title" on mario 3-d games either. Yeah it have high production values yeah it have many levels but its not different from other mario 3-d games either... Though the explosion and flying part was good though. But then Zelda TP was GOTY too even many fans were disappointed with it including Malstrom including me after I've seen OOT on youtube and it looks like the same, only with incremental upgrades.

 

Now your credibility's gone: you haven't even played it? How could you compare anything, then? You just follow other people's opinions?

Otherwise, i agree with puffy's comments: you just can't compare NSMBWii to SMG in terms of innovation... it has the "wow factor", it has everything needed to please the Mario fans and many gamers who simply want to have fun, but it's not revolutionnary by any means, except maybe its multiplayer gameplay... but "revolutionnary" would still not be the right word to describe it...

And btw, yes, most people are "expecting NSMBWii to be an extremely good game in terms of quality"... when Miyamoto does things right and takes his time, he's the best game designer in the world, and if some people still don't understand this after 25 years, they should just get a life and stop doin' lame comments...

Now, GOTY? In the heart of most Nintendo lovers, sure... and isn't THAT the most important thing? Who cares about haters and snobs, and people with totally different tastes in gaming? Just know what's good for you, and enjoy...

Why does someone have to be a hater or a snob to think that another game seserves GOTY over NSMB?

 

There's an amazing world of gaming out there being played on non-Nintendo consoles too. You don't need to be a "snob" to know that.

Well hard to comment on that considering I haven't played it. But considering how much I love the original Mario game, NSMB on DS... I can almost guarantee this will probably be one of my best games of this year.



txrattlesnake on 30 October 2009

I don't think so. I think it will either be Modern Warfare 2 or Uncharted 2 with the biggest dark horse candidate being Scribblenauts.

Yeah, it gonna be one of the best, but it could have the real hit, if it had online. I just don't know why wasn't it included in the game.
