Loz ss
Xc
Ki u
Pushmo
Loz ss
Pikmin 3
Ki u or skyward sword
Can’t decide on last one
yeh , its been an awesome time for nintendo!! . my personal favorite is the glorious 3d remake of ocarina of time . its awesome includes masterquest mode and new controls and the 3d really works well . the graphics are beautifully overhauled aswell . but it is a remake .
so for me , its between SS and KI U .
i thought zelda was the best game of the year…Those graphic whore fans…!!
i voted zelda for the best action/adventure game which is true
It was a great game. For me personally though, I couldn’t vote for GOTY. Too many great games. Skyward Sword was in my top though.
As being a Nintendo fan myself, I must say that the nominated Nintendo games do not stand a chance against all the other games in the same categories. The only Nintendo game that could win is Kingdom Hearts 3D, in the “best portable” category, but other than that, there are way too good games in the other categories.
do you think call of duty wins lol rofltrolololol
Because Call of Duty was the only choice left besides the Nintendo games… In every category… -sigh-
I think COD wont win if anything for shooter it will be BF3 even though tribes ascend is the only one that even attempts anything new.
for ultimate game of the year skyrim 1st BF3 2nd Skyward sword 3rd (my predictions) but I will vote for skyward sword because there is no portal 2
One to watch will be Halo 4 or Elder scrolls online
Ultimate game of the yesr is a cannot dircide the fetch quests in skyward sword put me of a bit so im going to vote for KI:U
The three nominations for Game of the Year isn’t gonna be easy. Kid Icarus: Uprising is truly a unique game. Resident Evil: Revelations pushes the graphics of the Nintendo 3DS to the extreme with great play control and storyline. Zelda: Skyward Sword truly deserves a win in my books. Cool graphics and an awesome storyline. But the play control makes me feel like I’m controlling Link.
i agree. it turns you into link . its awesome. i would like all future zelda’s to have enhanced skyward sword controls.
hahaha i voted all the xbox games
Wrong forum, von Scrotum! Crawl yourself back to the feces pit.
ahhh crawl out under from your rock i see,and yes it was the correct forum because microsoft does the best games of all time
Microsoft is dead in Japan, Roy’s boyfriend. Go fuck a tiger!
microsoft doesnt do anything. they are just a publisher . not a developer .
they are rubbish . halo is made by bungie and so forth .
nintendo make their own games and themn publish them to!
HHMMHMH HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA STOP COVERING UR BABYISH COMPANY AND LET THE NINTENDOHUMILLIATION CONTINUE!
microsoft is played by little imature 13 year olds like you . gimp wad .
I take offence.
its played by normal people aswell .
microsoft is plagued by young nerdy trolls . sad but true.
nintendo’s fans are more mature than xbox fans fact .
i wont even talk about ps fans they think the sun shines out of their ass .
What’s games? :p besides halo n gears the rest are on ps3
….Xbox has games now? ;)
All Xbox Games suck ass and for gay peoples
Voted in all categories, but not all Nintendo games when the option was there. Some games were simply better in my opinion. All the Nintendo games up there are great though!
Also, goldenjoystick is being extremely laggy for me, any else getting lag?
Yeah, either they’re getting a lot of traffic right now or the site needs some TLC.
lol all nintendo games own other games wtf dude reported inb4 ban
I take it you haven’t played any of the other games. And why in the world would you report him?
*smh* Some people… *sigh*
aeoluss you fucking pussy cat u need a leeson hmmmhahhahahahaha
from you hell no.
Surprisingly I have played just about all the games they had listed. Hard choice for some categories others were a no-brainer. In the end, I had to vote honestly for what I thought were the best:
Best Shooter: Resistance 3
Best Action/Adventure: Batman Arkham City
Best Racer: Forza 4
Best Sports: FIFA 12
Best Strategy: Civilization V
Best Fighter: Marvel vs Capcom 3 (reluctantly)
Best Mobile/Tablet: n/a (LOL)
Best RPG: Skyrim
Best Handheld: Super Mario 3D Land
Best MMO: Tera
Best Browser/Flash: n/a
Best Downloadable: Journey
Best DLC: Not a fan of DLC (especially paid DLC) but still had to go with Skyrim
Top Gaming Moment: This one was REALLY difficult but I had to go with Uncharted 3
One to Watch: I skipped this one because there’s no way that I could just pick one out of that category
Ultimate Game of the Year: I didn’t vote here again. No way I could pick just one >.< But out of the list my top games were – LoZ: Skyward Sword, Batman Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Journey, and Mass Effect 3.
LMAO best acyion adventure an batman game lol your an casual….
Casual. Sure. Go troll someone else’s comments.
Someone’s just having a patty.
Batman is a beast and would completely destroy Link without even trying.
Seriously? Wow. Link would destroy Batman before he could move a muscle… Batman is a rich man in a suit. Link is a skilled at every weapon/equipment thing-y he has layed his hands on, swords, bow and arrows/crossbows, hookshots and the list goes on. He is ALOT stronger and braver. While Batman hides in his pathetic suit, Link does everything he does just wearing a tunic, boots, gloves, a hat and a belt. Link has defeated WAY more enemies who are millions of times more dangerous than who Batman deals with.
Conclusion: Any rich man can build a suit and become batman while it takes a billion times more effort to become Link.
well done . you have the worst list ever . want a cookie ???
you think batman is better than ZELDA ???? make sure mum tucks you in sweet and sound tonight darling XD
As an action adventure, I enjoyed ‘Batman: Arkham City’ over ‘The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.’ Yes. Problem?
I’m sorry you are feeling discomfort over my personal opinions and tastes.
im just kidding . but i played both , and although batman is ‘amazing’ i found skyward sword to a ‘masterpiece’ .
im only pulling your leg . some people hate skyward sword and they have a right to .
to each his own
to me zelda .
ZELDA SUCKS PUT IT IN UR ASS NINTENDRONE
you have never even played skyward sword you idiot .
so take your mums strap on out of your little butt hole and gtfo this site.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
http://yugioh.db-asylum.com/pic/7/marik007.jpg
ive played all zeldas at e3 and they all sucked 1 by1 HJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Damn. That must have took a while.
Well Halo is worst
What E3 are you talking about? This year? Last year? Well your pretty fucking stupid because not all Zelda games have been at E3. In fact you’re probably just a 10 year old who got hold of his mum’s computer. And if you hate Nintendo so much then why are you on this site
Ignore the obvious trolls. They’ll eventually stop if people keep giving them replies to feed off of.
Nah. Skyward Sword was a great game. I enjoyed it a lot. I have been loving the franchise for decades! I just don’t think it was the best in the Action/Adventure category. That’s just me personally….
u enjoyed this game with the worst graphics of DIS gen!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA u are a big idiot
i see where your coming from bro , and i raise you wii motion plus sword control!!!! :P . graphics were amazing for wii aswell .
Dude don’t cote for xacom then they’ll make Marvel vs. Capcom 3: best fighter edition
To be real, from a critical standpoint I didn’t really like any of the ones they listed. But I guess it came down to the one I had the most fun playing with friends.
I agree with you. It was a hard choice, but Batman: Arkham City did it for me!
My list would have to be fairly similar to that, I just couldnt pick a Damn RPG >.<
Jesus, the last category is hard…so many good games there.
Kid Icarus: Uprising and Skyward sword hands down!
DONT SCREW DA RULES
Uprising I can understand. Skyward sword, not as much.
if there was a character of the year i would totally vote for you (cover non specific action figure’s eyes).
That’s really good to hear!
Xenoblade chronicles should be GOTY. It is a masterpiece and at least should be recognized as the best RPG this year.
I agree with you 100% but sadly Skyrim is most likely to win. -__-
Xenoblade is actually quite an old game.
It is a great game, of course, but it’s by no means fair to easily pick it over Skyrim. If you prefer Xenoblade, sure, fine, but Skyrim has such an ENORMOUS world with endless possibilities. Oh well, to each his own, and not bitching on Xenoblade at all (it’s beautiful!), but Skyrim is very awesome too…
ha at least shitendo wont do ur favoure to make a starfox because the starfox series is DEAD ive saw starfox command ending and according to my intellect…fox mccshit left the team FOR EVA!

GayBox are for babies.
AhmhmhmhahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA I CANT WAIT ANYMORE I VANT SEE DICKTENDO BEING VESTROYED FO EVA! HAHAHAH ja thats it
~!
Skyward Sword for action/adventure
rpg was pretty tough to choose. Xenoblade, Dark Souls, and FF 13-2. Haven’t played Witcher 2, but have heard good things. Everything else was crap or meh.
Handheld is between Kingdom hearts and Gravity Rush.
Fighting is between Naruto, BlazBLue, and Sreet fighter vs Tekken.
Shooter is Halo.
HALO IS DA BEST ASS%^$ AND METROID PRIME IS FOR idiots HMHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Metroid Prime is a far better series than Halo. If Metroid was up there, it would be my choise. Better combat, better bosses, better protagonist.
All those games are trash.
This is what i voted
Best Shooter : Ghost recon Online
Best Action Adventure: skyward sword
Best Racer: Forza 4
Best Sport: SSX
Best Strategy: Heroies VI

Xenoblade definitely has my vote for best RPG.
It managed to present a beautiful and compelling world with less hard ware behind it to power the stunning visuals. The combat was intuitive and deep without being confusing, and the story was top-notch in nearly every way.[If they’d allowed us to choose who Shulk ends up with, it would have been perfect]
The music was, in many cases, also as wonderful as anything coming out of a first-party Nintendo franchise.
My favorite track has GOT to be this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr49uvBKkEA
The start of it just draws you in and really gives you the feeling that you’re stepping into a sprawling world for a huge adventure.
The beginning of the game before this point is all well and good. Lots of leveling opportunities and storyline bits.
But I feel that it was when I first stepped onto Gaur Plains that my adventure with this world truly felt like it was beginning in earnest.
Few RPG’s, nay, few games, have impressed me as much as this one has, and I devoutly believe that either a sequel or a remake with lots of storyline and gameplay extras would sell like hotcakes on the Wii U.
u….mmmmHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHA cool STORY BRO U ARE DA BEST DROLLER OV ALL TIME!
This. ^ I totally agree with you. I barely bought this game last week and all I can say is that its so amazing. The music, characters, and the places are of the best in any game. Hopefully they keep this game alive for a sequel. Also, it would be really awesome if Shulk is in the next SSB.
thanks fo da agreement HAHAHA
he was not talking to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chill, Rev. I know he was talking to me and not shit-fried von dingle-berry up there.
To add to my post above, while I thought that there were a ton of great games last year (2011), I think when it came down to the nitty gritty and I had to choose one, Portal 2 was my favorite.
http://gamerxchange.net/2012/01/31/gamerxchanges-games-of-the-year-2011/
Still, there were quite a few others that deserved those GOTY nominations. The Golden Joystick award is a little strange though because it doesn’t go by calendar year. ._.
No offence Skyward Sword, but im voting Darksiders 2 for best action adventure.
Nintendrones admit that their precious Zelda is inferior and complete utter trash compared to games on real consoles! Imao this made my day.
No. SS was amazing, as i expected, but DS2 is such a vast inprovement in every way, that it would deserve my vote
Improvement on the original DS, i should make clear
Why the hell is Mario Kart 7 not up for best racer? Handheld games where starting to get taken seriously and them mobile games come in people think they’re the same thing and the both get looked down on -_-‘
Pingback: Nintendo Games Nominated for Golden Joystick Awards « NintendoCenter
Wow, Resident Evil revelations got some surprising nominations this year.
I picked the game for Ultimate game of the year, handheld game of the year, and top gaming moment.
Yeah, Revelations is definitely my game of the year.
Best action adventure for me: xenoblade chronicles
Best handheld game for me: KH 3D
Best rpg: Skyward Sword
Top moment: Skyward Sword
One to watch: ZombiU
Most entertaining: a debate between Res Evil Revel and KH 3D
These are all in my opinion
Skyward Sword isn’t an RPG.
if so then xenoblade lol
Ultimate Game of the Year is Batman Arkham City in my opinion, JUST beating out Skyward Sword. Nintendo are practically guaranteed handheld game of the year. So that’s good. And COD will sweep many of the awards I’m sure. Fucking publicly voted competitions.
Trolls who are named Siegfrie von Scrotum and his boyfriend Aeolus a.k.a. Amir Stuart… PLEASE do not feed them.
Siegfried*
Come on Honey aren’t we together?
Best Shooter: I don’t care about this genre
Best Action/Adventure: Skyward Sword (I haven’t played Darksiders 2 yet,but it probably won’t change my mind)
Best Racer: I don’t care about this genre
Best Sports: I don’t care about this genre
Best Strategy: Heart of the Swarm isn’t out yet so I dunno
Best Fighter: MvC3 out of the ones they have listed
Best Mobile/Tablet: no
Best RPG: Oh jeez…. Xenoblade, but Dark Souls is such an amazing game
Best Handheld: Kid Icarus
Best MMO: anything but LoL
Best Browser/Flash: I don’t care about anything they have listed/ Binding of Isaac if it came out this year
Best Downloadable: Pushmo or Skullgirls
Best DLC: lol
Top Gaming Moment: dumb category
One To Watch: Pikmin 3/ Assassin’s Creed 3 if it’s as big of an improvement to 2 as 2 was to the original
Ultimate Game of the Year: Skyward Sword
Why the heck isn’t the last story up there for RPG!?! Damnit. It totally deserves a spot
Although Skyward Sword was an amazing game, Batman Arkham City just did it for me.
Skyward Sword ftw!!! I hope it brings the *ahem* Demise of all the other games. (sorry if I spoiled something for people who haven’t played the game all the way through yet)
Xenoblade better win best RPG…it deserved to be nominated for ”game of the year”
