NOTE TO SELF... TALLIED UP TO HERE.

(Which also means that if for some reason you really, really need to change something, you will have to let me know.)

(But please don't do this unless you really, really need to.)

PS. Are we counting Face Raiders in the Best DSiWare/3DS eShop game category? It's not technically true, but I feel like it should be somewhere, and I bet it'd be getting more nominations if people knew that they could nominate it.

PPS. Mighty Switch Force and VVVVVV are no longer most wanted since they are both now released. Don't worry though, we'll make sure that they get into the Best DSiWare/3DS eShop listing, I think they are the two clear choices after Pushmo and 4 Swords.

BTW, is there anything you guys are looking forward to on Wii next year besides these 5?

Xenoblade Chronicles
Rhythm Heaven Fever
The Last Story
DragonQuest X
Mario Party 9

(Didn't count the La-Mulana nomination since we're sticking to retail stuff...)

We need a 6th game for the list? Pokepark 2? Combat Wings? God, 2012 looks bad for Wii outside of a few huge games.

If we can count The Last Story, can we count Pandora's Tower?

I definitely think Face Raiders should be put in 3DSware, even if it technically isn't. Heck, maybe AR Games if there's a spot for it.

@Zero

Is The Grinder due out this year?

@Secret_Tunnel I guess that makes sense.

@TriforceBun I'm probably going to try to squeeze Face Raiders in. But did people really like AR Games that much? We probably don't need both of the "launch" titles in there, Face Raiders seemed to be the more well received one in general.

@warerare I'd be shocked if The Grinder (Wii version) hasn't been long since canned.

@warerare

Nah, that's cancelled. Or at least in development hell. I doubt we'll ever see it again.

@Zero

If Face Raiders is in there should Street Pass Quest be there too?

@warerare I thought about that but looking at how people on the site scored it, it wouldn't stand a chance. Face Raiders is the highest scoring of the built-in games and to add too many of them could overrun the lists.

I'm sorry, but I just can't pick. Not too many titles, too little.

I had no idea this thread even exsisted. Stuff like this should be kept on the first page, otherwise how will people know about it. Seriously, there isn't even 3 full pages which shows many people probably didnt know about it. So, here are my votes:

Best Wii game----Skyward Sword(like what the hell else is there to vote for?!)

Best DS game----Professor Layton and the Last Specter

Best 3DS game--Super Mario Land 3D

Best WiiWare game-MotoHeroz

Best DSiWare/3DS eShop game-Pushmo


Best VC game--Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

Most wanted Wii game--Xenoblade Chronicles

Most wanted 3DS game--Luigi's Mansion 3D

Most wanted 3DS eShop game--Nothing really comes to mind


Looking back, some of you need to change your most wanted eshop/vc games since the games that people have listed have been released over the past few weeks. Whatever though.

Plus, really the best eshop game released so far is Pushmo. Seriously, I really dont care if it wins or not, but it is way better than anything released on the eshop, as far as brand new original titles are concerned.

And again, a thread like this should have been permanently posted on the top of the first page. I know its only for nominations, but with there only being 2 pages worth and Im the only one on the 3rd page. One would think there would be at least 5-7 pages for something like this.

Most wanted Wii game ...Xenoblade? Must get my Wii fixed

Most wanted 3DS game Resident Evil Revelations

Hey guys I'm probably going to try to get the GOTY voting set up tonight or tomorrow? so the nominations will be open until well... until I do that. You'll have today to get yours in for sure, I wouldn't count so much on tomorrow.

Best Wii game The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword

Best DS game Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

Best 3DS game Pilotwings Resort

Best WiiWare game MotorHeroz

Best DSiWare/3DS eShop game The Legend Of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition

Best VC game Chrono Trigger

Most wanted Wii game The Last Story

Most wanted 3DS game Kid Icarus

Most wanted 3DS eShop game Mutant Mudds

Just to let you guys know I'm going to close this up tonight and try to get the voting up when I get home from work. So I'll close it maybe around 6 or 7 central time? I wouldn't wait though... get on it now!

For any ties I'll just have to wing it. Maybe ask some of the moderators to help me break them. And I'm going to squeeze Face Raiders into the DSiWare/3DSWare list because it deserves to be in there and I don't think people realized it was eligible. And of course put in Mighty Switch Force! and VVVVVV for GOTY 2011 as opposed to most wanted.

@rebonack

Oh definitely. And Chrono Trigger also came out on VC in 2011.

But I know how big of a fan @Zero is of Mega Man X. That's why I thought it was odd that he didn't remember that (one of) his favorite game(s) came out on VC this past year.

I'd say that between the two Square RPGs and Capcom's SNES debut of the (new) Blue Bomber, the VC had a pretty good showing this past year.

@GameDadGrant Yeah but I already own it so... I dunno. I don't pay attention to VC releases unless they are new to me.

@Zero

I can dig it.

I'm also a big fan of Mega Man X, but I already own it like, in three different forms. (SNES original, Gamecube Collection, PSP "remake") I was tempted to get the VC version (just because) but ultimately I decided against it.

I did end up gifting it to gojira though, in the Secret Santa exchange. I figure the more exposure the game got, the better. Plus, the more sales the Mega Man games get, maybe Capcom will see fit to bring that franchise back. (since they seemed to have killed it - at least for now)
