No, because the Wii has New Super Mario Bros Wii, the return of 2D Mario with multiplayer. It should have been GOTY everywhere.

Lol, thank god Gametrailers doesn't decide by such lame criteria. That's so close minded it's... ridiculously funny.

Even as a Wii fanboy, I really don't think Wii's 2009 offering had anything that deserved to be Game of the Year. Bite me.

Uh... if you're so easily willing to admit that you don't believe the Wii had any software worthy of "Game of the Year" in 2009 then that doesn't make you a fanboy, just a fan of the Wii who happens to think the software offerings of 2009 weren't as strong as other consoles.

Why has the meaning of this word been bastardized along with the likes of "Hardcore", "Casual" and "Gamer".



How technical is your game?

They never have any new wii game footage.  They don't pick Wii exclusive games for wii game of the year.  NSMBWii isn't even mentioned on the game of the year award...  I just don't get it?  Why must everyone rate a game on graphics? 

Fisrt: I rate my games on how fun they are!

Second: Controls and gameplay

Third: Story

Fourth: Music

Fifth: Graphics

Everything gametrailers does is on visuals.  Well I think they are terrible when it comes to rating games, and they need to treat the wii with more respect!!!


it's just there opipion.



I think that gametrailers, mostly than being a gaming related website, is a financial cow...

If they earn more money being HD whores instead of supporting the Wii, I can't blame them...

In the other hand, if they're ignoring the Wii just because it is.... the Wii, and not earning as much money as they could, then they are stupid... Just like IGN podcasts, gamespot, etc...



People here put up here some arguements that will make you look like a raging nintnedo fanboy. I thought the game was good and on par with Mario world(which is the best 2-D mario game) Saying that. You might think I think it should win GOTY. Well from what I played. Yes. Though what many people fail to undersstand is that nostalgia blocks their mind. You could be having much more fun with NSMBW. Though In your mind Super Mario World is better. I think that's part of the problem



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

You haven't played the other GOTY nominations, how do you know they aren't better than NSMBW? Oh I get it....you just assumed that HD games were "no fun" right? I've put 39 days into kz2...more time than I spent playing other games this year combined and more time than my personal classics combined so its my GOTY (I also doubt you've played any of your supposed "classics" that much so its defo more replayable than them). However, I won't be creating any threads complaining about why others don't feel the same way. Perhaps you could benefit from my example.

 People play those classics more than that - they have level editors for super mario world you know.  The people who replay the game use them.

Nintendo has been partnering with gametrailers to an odd degree (mostly for promotion for WiiWare), but yeah, GameTrailers is going to reflect who gives them the hits, and its the HD game trailers that give them hits. The Wii audience doesn't want to watch videos and debate about screen tearing or anti-aliasing, they just want to play some games.

You are complety right.



I actually was thinking they were nice....

Then Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess kicked you games' ass in 2006 and 2007.

And then they lost two years in a row. Your point?
