Congrats to L.O.Z-BOTW, that’s totally awesome and also Said Congrats to Nintendo.
I’m glad Cuphead won a couple categories, especially art direction. It deserves it.
while i enjoy the art direction there is nothing original or unique about it (betty boop, felix the cat etc. etc.) and for that i think Zelda should have won this category also.
it’s unique to gaming :v who else is going to take their time to make their entire game old school hand drawn style
Directly from the abyss, Nintendo threw 2 of the most critical acclaimed titles in the year, one of which was selected game of the Year, launched a successful hybrid machine and showed just a taste of the others games they are working on. Good year for them, but more importantly, good year for us. Great experiences for the Switch Users. GO NINTY.
This is probably the best year in gaming that I can remember. So many great games across all the systems and next year looks to be promising too.
It’s funny because really when looking at many of the AAA third party publishers it’s been a garbage year, with failure after failure, loot box infested game after loot box infested game. But does it really matter? When Nintendo are *so* on form, when indies step in to fill the genre gaps, when some of the second-tier (in terms of budget) developers such as Platinum are also making fantastic games, what does it matter if EA and Activision are garbage? They may be the face of gaming to many of the general public, but there’s so much choice without them, their patheticness is totally irrelevant to me.
yea, ive played more video games this year than the last year combined. I probably played more botw (100 hours about) than the last 5 years tbh
@ssf1991 You missed one:
Best Handheld Game – Metroid: Samus Returns
I didn’t make the list, hence the source at the bottom.
Coincidentally, I had already fixed the error moments before you commented anyway. lol
Aonuma’s interpreter say something about more surprises in the future. Maybe we will have an announcement of a new Zelda game soon ❓
Yes there is a Zelda Direct on December 12 I believe… I’m hoping for either DLC 3 (with new enemies, dungeons etc.) or maybe a Majoras Mask style sequel to BOTW in the works.
It will be just about Champions Ballad. It‘s a stream for their japanese audience so they get some attention too but it will most likely just cover what we saw at the awards
Nintendo had a really great year this year and the game awards show that. Think about it…Mario, Zelda, and Metroid all won awards. Not too mention, Zelda took home the game of the year award which is huge. That is awesome!
2017 will be remembered as Nintendo’s Renaissance
Damn. NieR: Automata only won 1 of the 3 awards it was a nominee for. But I am glad that that one was the music score, though, as that’s the award it deserved the most as the music in the game is fucking fantastic.
||Soon Nintendo and its First Order will eradicate the X-infestation …||
Nice to see Sony pissing their pants now after confessing their fears of Nintendo Switch rising success. :3 *fist bumps*
||Too bad you missed the unveiling of the Switch and the inauguration of The First Order of Nintendo…||
Actually, I didn’t. I was watching the Switch carefully and after the unveiling won me over, I cautiously took a dive.
Also, “The First Order of Nintendo”? Someone has been watching The Force Awakens. XD
Nintendo is back…TRULY BACK BABY!!!
I really wanted Persona 5 to win game of the year but I also really want Nintendo to win, so I’m really happy with the results :>
It won best RPG, so there’s that at least. :p
