I’m so freaking glad Alan Wake 2 made it, and although I do believe it deserves GOTY this year, I just hope it isn’t recency bias.
Pikmin 4 was nominated for Best Family Game. It was also nominated for Best Sim / Strategy Game, alongside Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp and Fire Emblem: Engage.
Super Mario Bros Wonder is way better than Zelda Tears of the Kingdom , Super Mario Bros Wonder is going to be game of the year for 2023!!!
Resi 4 for me. Game was a masterpiece
As expected no nominations for Sonic, lol.
Spider-man 3??? Do you guys even know what proofreading is??
They know what proofreading is and this website is famous for correcting grammar. It’s like Nintendo fans analyze everything and correct every detail.
Pizza Tower, A Wayforward game and a Hololive Strategy RPG got the nomes… It least Pizza Tower is legit.
