I just checked on scores, and the Vita has two AAA titles for 2012 - 3DS has none. I recognise score isn't the ultimate definer for GOTY material, but it sure helps. The way I see it, competition is limited to the following: AAA Persona 4 Golden (Vita) Sound Shapes (Vita) AA Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (3DS / Vita) LittleBigPlanet (Vita) Kid Icarus (3DS) Professor Layton (3DS) Resident Evil: Revelations (3DS) Yes, there are more AAs, but I see those as the only ones GS will consider. Also, inb4 "NO GAEMS," sales talk, etc. I'm talking about quality here. Thoughts? Have I forgotten anything?

There are alot of solid games that don't score well on this site. PS All Stars being one of them. 6.5 is an absolutely asinine score when garbage like Dance Central is a whole letter grade better.

I agree.... this site is always underatting a lot of games...espcially handheld games. They did it all the time on the psp. and they are doing it agian on the vita...Gravity Rush should of scored way higher than it did... I could name dozens of games that scored low here but were great games. As for Handheld GOTY... Persona 4... by far, followed by Gravity Rush and LBP (and for honorable mentions, Need for Speed most wanted and ragnorok odyessy for me anyway).

I've been playing P4 on my PS2 and will be getting P4G soon but I would still give it to Revelations. A completely original Resi game that brought back some of what made Resi such a great series.

Thats why Vita has 2 AAA games and 3DS doesn't right? And multiple 3DS games have gotten mostly AAA scores everywhere while they get 8.5d here.

If Persona 4 Golden doesn't take Handheld GOTY it'll be downright criminal.

Didn't Persona 4 get a GOTY at one point or was that Persona 3? I remember the WRPG fans being extremely butthurt about it.

It's more likely that you just have a very huge bias for Playstation products.

It's not as if they haven't reviewed plenty of PSP, and PSVita games well.

The DS is still in the handheld race. So it will probably be Pokemon but not on GS.

The game with a Metacritic average of 80? I don't know, isn't that a little optimistic?

Devil Survivor 2 is a better candidate.

Hell I own a 3DS and love RE:R and KI but I'd go with Persona 4 as game of the year. Already got it for PS2 mind so it isn't going to sell me a Vita.

If an enhanced port of an old game is better than any other titles released in the same year it still deserves accolades and recognition.

Soundshape? Anyway, let it be known that Persona 4 is a remake with a little extra added to it. 3DS on the other hand has a ton of games.

Wasn't the case for P3 FES and P3P (at least in some places like here).

The platform that has Persona 4 Golden wins.

Is that the Vita? Then yes, yes it does have it in the bag.

That's a negative way of viewing things.

When it's an enhanced port of what is considered one of the greatest RPGs of the past decade it should still be noted and considered.

Maybe they'll give it to something new or unique like Zero Escape. But that doesn't mean Persona 4 shouldn't be considered.

I'd think so with both Persona 4 and Little Big Planet. Also isn't it kind of ironic that the system with absolutely no games also has two of the highest rated games released on handhelds this year?

Not really. The sheer amount of content in Persona 4 Golden is staggering and enough for two expansion packs. Take note Capcom!

Persona 4 Golden is astounding on the Vita. The Vita's screen makes this game look goregous. Plus the addition of many new gameplay elements and you got yourself the best handheld RPG of the year (even though it's a port).

You know what's truly sad? That hardly any JRPG can top Persona 4 after all these years (Xenoblades and Last Story aside, but still).
