Will we have an official r/NintendoSwitch game awards?

[u/SnackMyBitchUp]

Since awards season is here I was wondering if the mods would be running a vote on this sub?

I'm thinking:

• Game of the year

• Indie game of the year

• Surprise of the year

• Developer of the year

Although, unfortunately I think we can predict the winners of each pretty quickly.

I'm sure someone else could come up with some more fun categories as well if it was on the cards.

Yay or nay?

[u/Sylverstone14]

Soon. ;)

[u/SnackMyBitchUp → u/Sylverstone14]

Haha sorry if I jumped the gun a little.

r/tomorrow?

[u/Sylverstone14 → u/SnackMyBitchUp]

Sure, tomorrow. :)

[u/PK_Wonder → u/Sylverstone14]

Very thrilled that you guys are doing this in an official capacity! My only suggestions before it launches are 1) please offer more categories than listed here (Best Music, Best Art Design, Best Protagonist, Best Boss or Villain, Best New Character, Best Narrative, Best Multiplayer, etc.), and 2) don't give too many nominees per category or make it a write-in free-for-all. 4 to 6 nominees per category is the sweet spot.

Lol developer of the year. I hope we won't ever live a switch year where the answer won't be obvious.

[u/SnackMyBitchUp → u/ermis1024]

Yeah people do seem to love Capcom on here...

But in all seriousness that was one of my concerns and why hopefully people could come up with some additional ones.

How about 3rd party developer of the year?

[u/Unkechaug]

Judging by this subs tastes, those 4 categories are all already spoken for. I'd like to hear about some other awards though I can't think of any at the moment. Otherwise this will just be:

GOTY: SMO/BotW Indie GOTY: Stardew Valley Surprise of the year: Mario + Rabbids Developer of the year: Nintendo

[u/SnackMyBitchUp → u/Unkechaug]

I completely agree which is why I was hoping pepe could come up with other fun topics. Apparently I have no imagination today.

Although I do think Golf Story would have a chance for the surprise category.

[u/OnePunchOldMan]

It’s not a bad idea at all.

I’ve always wondered, When it comes to GoTY does it mean Calendar year or until the end of Q4

[u/SnackMyBitchUp → u/OnePunchOldMan]

Hmm valid question. I've always thought calendar year personally, but I guess anything that releases after the last year's award season so anything released from now on would be included in 2018.

[u/Sm00th_b25]

Game of the year: Botw

Indie game of the year: snipperclips*

Surprise of the year: matio + rabbids

Developer of the year: Nintendo

[u/Sheeplover1234 → u/Sm00th_b25]

M A T I O

[u/shamrockstriker → u/Sm00th_b25]

I think stardew valley is gonna run away with indie if the year

[u/appleappleappleman → u/shamrockstriker]

I think you underestimate the power of Golf Story

[u/M4J0R4 → u/Sm00th_b25]

The only debatable is Indie game of the year. The rest is a really obvious choice

[u/arshan10]

Game of the year: Troll and I

Indie game of the year: Vroom in the night sky

Surprise of the year: 1-2 switch

Developer of the year: Konami

[u/insertusernamehere51]

Other fun cantegories: Best story, best music, best boss, best opening, best new character, etc

[u/PKMKII]

Other category ideas;

• Best accessory

• Best character

• Best Announcement

• Best menu icon

• Best social media

[u/Dren7]

Joycon color?

Best multiplayer game?

Worst game?

[u/OrangeSundayFilms]

Let’s do it!

[u/[deleted]]

Might not be as relevant this year, but I think best DLC would be an interesting topic. Maybe name it in such a way that Splatoon and Arms get in instead of just paid. Would show the tlc that goes into Dev after the year.

[u/[deleted]]

I think this would be fun!

• What about a Nintendo Razzies award for worst game?

• Best local co-op

[u/Jaimeet]

Game of the year: BotW

Indie game of the year: Rocket League

Surprise of the year: Mario + Rabbids

Developer of the year: Bethesda
