well this year I dotn think any Wii games deserved a mention as Game Of The Year, but I have noticed a Gametrailer HD bias.

Let me end this right now. I'm not even going to read further than the part I bolded. Seriously, your arrogance is dripping from every which orifice of your entire body. I'm dropping out of this right away.

I think NSMB is a lot of fun espacially playing with others, but it's not and was not created to be GOTY, it's appeal is how anyone can pickit up and play it. It's a very simple formula excuted beautifully, but it's not the best game this year, doesnt have to be.

Perfectly honestly now - I think the GOTY would be Uncharted 2, and I haven't even played it yet. That said, I think NSMBWii is a clear contender for GOTY and should be acknowledged as such. Sadly, most websites don't agree with me. Oh well.

The real travesty with this year's GameTrailers GOTY awards is that Punch-Out!! wasn't even nominated for Best Wii Game. For shame.

ROFL very stupid comment. I go back and still play the old GOW's, went back to play UC1 again and had some fun. I have gone back to play Resistance 1 again and have had fun. Hell this week I went back and played RE1!!!! Horrible voice acting but I still had some fun with it as well as RE2. They all have the same replay value any game does. As a matter of fact you still find LOTS of people on MW1 online, as well as RE1, Halo3, even Gears of War 1. Metroid I could play twice at most and I struggled playing it a second time although the old metroids are my favorites and disliked Prime. Old Zelda games I can't stand. The only Zelda games I could play are Ocarina of Time (best in series) and Majora's Mask, everything else points to that series being overrated. You being a DIEHARD Nintendo fan should go play The Magic of Scheherazade, it was a FAAAR superior game to any NES Zelda but went overlooked and underrated thanks to not having the title "Zelda". And that is also another ninty game I could go back and play (yes the music was very good). Xexyz was another great ninty game. 

I am not blinded by the ninty magic tricks of releasing mediocre games and then all of a sudden "OH A PICTURE OF LINK ON E3 OMFG *cries". I sit down and look at NMH and Muramasa (those 2 should have sold more than they did), even the brilliant use of motion controls with RE4 (Wii got the best version hands down because of controls). RE4 is the only game that ALMOST pushed me to make the mistake of buying the Wii (mistake in my eyes but not in the eyes of 65million of course). You make baseless assumptions because you want your beloved Mario, Metroid and Zelda to get all their awards and get tributes left and right but don't recognize greatness in other systems outside a Nintendo system.

Hell I admit ME is a very good game and would deserve its awards even though it's not my cup of tea, but something I can't take away is the fact that it has some great storyline and solid gameplay (music is actually better than I expected it to be). I dislike all things Halo, but I recognize what that franchise did for console FPS's and it's a good series in its own right. 

If you want to look at a fairly reliable and unbiased site, you should check the current Gamespot. They gave good praise to games like SMG and whatnot and they gave the GOTY to a game many didn't expect: Demon's Souls, and yes the game was also better than anything Wii (well not for the casuals as it would be too hard even for some regular gamers).

As for controllers? Last I checked there were quite a few buttons to press for Golden Eye on N64 and that didn't stop it from being a great game. Demon's Souls doesn't go crazy on the button mapping either. I assume you would also complain that "OMG SFIV uses ....6 buttons!!!!"

Arrogance? I'm making a comment on my opinions. Once again I will have to take another month or two break cause I've hurt some uber sensitive people's feelings. Why have a forum if you can't type an opinion?

Yes, you are absolutely right - I am currently crying my eyes out and reaching for the tissues. Now leave me alone, please! I am very hurt because you said you knew what games were great!

You have a grasp on what franchises you think are great. The games that you think are evolutionary i might find shallow, or vice versa. Why should consoles "grow up" specifically to match your growth as an individual? This is the peculiar mentality that pervades the industry, and has led to its current state, where they've left behind a large, large number of former players.

Well I will tell you to go play The Magic of Scheherazade because it's better than original Zelda and Adventures of Link (can probably rival a Link to the past). Trust me, as a Ninty fan you owe it to yourself, it is definitely a classic man.

Perhaps because those players allow themselves to continue being blinded by Mario and Zelda and anything that has their names on it? Ninty being first has hurt it more than help it, whereas 360 and PS3 being 2nd and 3rd have been forced to create new IP's. Resistance, Gears of War, Uncharted, InFamous, Demon's Souls, VC, etc, etc,etc. I mean shit SE suffered a similar problem by milking FFVII. The good attempts that were made for Wii have sold less than stellar like NMH (met expectations but given install base should have sold way more), Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Madworld. Former players are still stuck with Mario and Zelda and that is a fact, and it is a sad one just like it's sad for Halo fans to know nothing else but Halo. Go try some of the games I mentioned in previous posts, especially the NES ones, you might like them and realize there is light at the end of the Mario/Zelda/Metroid tunnel.
