No way.It stands no chance against MW2 and U2.
But I'm sure it will be nominated, looks quite interesting.

the review that I've seen a 7/10 review so far was Edge. Though if its gamespot thats not included
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out

^ yeah i think it was EDGE. Regardless though reviewers obviously cant see this game for the quality and fun it will be and give it a low score. If other reviewers see it the same way theres no way it can get GOTY
Long Live SHIO!

EDGE shouldnt taken serioulsly. Just as like Michael Pachter's crazy predictions and to tell the truth seem he gets what he wants free publicity he makes controversial predictions just as EDGE's controversial reviews and scores, just to make free publicity.

IGN sounds like they're liking it a lot in the previews, I'd expect 8.5 to be the absolute lowest possible there, but am expecting it to be above 9 easily. EDGE is most likely going to be the lower one out of the bigger reviewers.
| yushire said: Yeah, its far fetched but everyone here shocked too when multiple sites sys SMG was GOTY. Including GT and IGN. And it released in november too 2 months before the year ends. So I wonder would it be possible? |
No, it'll be Uncharted 2. Because it has pretty graphics and everyone likes it. The only Wii game that ever had those two qualifications was Mario Galaxy and so New Super Mario Bros Wii is going to be deemed 'a good game but a sequel'. And as everyone should know by now, sequels are always looked down upon by review sites and 'critics' unless they completely reinvent the wheel or attempt to change everything from the prequel (see Uncharted 2).

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.

Are you kiddin' me?
For years and years since i'm reading videogames news and websites on the net, all i see is Nintendo's hardwares and softwares named "kiddie" and now "casual", and globally dismissed by a self-proclaimed "gaming elit"... it was already the case in the GC-GBA generation (when Nintendo was gently asked to go "out of business"), and even with the success of Wii-DS, and everything they did right for this industry and for the gamers, it's still not good enough to be treated with some respect...
I mean c'mon, just read some Wii reviews, look at Metacritic and most of the most famous websites: it's all about being "hardcore" and "mature" and stuff: if a game is in 2D, if a game is colourful, if a game is rated E, then it's treated like some thing of the past, that may still have its place on the market to please retro gamers or families or Nintendo fans, but not the "real hardcore" gamer...
The fact that such games may be brillantly designed, may have beautiful and fluid graphics, may need the same skills or even more skills to be completed, and may bring more fun than your typical shooter or RPG out there, seems totally irrelevant in the eyes of yes, "gaming snobs"...
Now, you're right, there are many other excellent games released each year, on any platform, and ALL OF THEM deserve praises and respect... but what i was sayin' is that most Nintendo games are treated as they were "out of touch" with what the "real gamers" may want, or may vote as GOTY in this case... when in fact, when everything's said and done, it's all about tastes, preferences, and of course, bias...

Well said. To put it simply, only 3D games with snazzy graphics and who are deemed for 'hardcore' game players will be deemed game of the year. Despite the fact that these games may only be played by 10% or even 5% of the gaming community.

But NSMB Wii isnt a sequel or considered ot to be and certainly it isnt a port. Though I agree with the rest of your post.

| yushire said: 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. |
Are you in love in Malstrom ?
Seriously, SMG is a lot more revolutionary in that it pushes the graphic, game plays and use of wiimote. The flying parts towards the end is truely some of the funnest game mechanics.
Of couse NSMB Wii will introduce new elements such as co-op. It is supposed to come with a new help option in case you get stuck too. However, game play should still all be the same old 2D platform game that has been around since the 80s.
