Just saw GotY: a glorious day for gaming and a horrid one for Wii haters.

How many times did I hear: Wii will never have a AAA tittle... glory came in the form of Wario Ware. Then it all went in to Wii will never get a GotY... I am so happy to find out that Super Mario Galaxy, a Nintendo Wii exclusive game just won the award.

I just found out after a couple of days away frome home and I am so happy to seethatblind stupid fonboyism took one were it hurts.

The Wii has a few good games but i just don't see the console lasted very long, this time next year i'll expect Sony to be back infront with all their exclusives that are coming, however Sony will probably **** it up like they normally do.Grantelicious

wii sells out without games now its getting them no one can stop themdeadmeat59

What a total of 5 games that are good and the rest are shovel ware. While I have a PC(Most AA and AAA games compared to console each year)and 360(with its awesome exclusives). I must be missing on those 5 titles or so that are actually good.

Lets jus face it, it got GOTY cause Mario's written on the front of the box and it's a platformer and there are not that many platformers out there to compete with in the first place. Thats why it won. The only competition it had was Rachet an Clank and that flopped.Dahaka-UK

I still can't figure out how SMG won. What's so revolutionary about it? Metroid Prime 3 was more deserving of Wii game of the year - it uses the remote for something that couldn't previously be done on a console. Overall game of the year, IMO, was Rock Band - Harmonix really made something more than the sum of its parts.lowe0

I think you haven't played the game for more than an hour.

I have a Wii and have SMG. The game is extremely fun. I have about 25 stars right now, and as fun as this game is, IMO, it doesn't deserve GOTY. It really isn't ground-breaking or anything like that.TMontana1004

EDIT: MP3 and its use of the wiimote was the closest thing to revolutionary or groundbreaking this year, IMO

There is not one thing in tihs world that appeals to ALL people and i mean it when saying ALL. SMG will not appeal to ALL gamers. Other people including you may dislike SMG. But that doesn't mean it doesn't deserved GOTY for professional reviewers have greatly praised it.

According to reviews, Crysis was ground-breaking. But still, do you people truly think that SMG was the best? It was fun and a big jump from previous games, but not the best. The one thing I would say that really impressed me was the whole integration with the wii remote. The game wouldn't have been very good with a GC controller.

You can take Madden 08 out of that list as well as the Sims, Wario Ware, and Super Monkey ball. I think your just listing games because Madden 08 on the Wii was horrible. No self respecting Madden player would every play 08 on the Wii.

Crysis is ground-breaking, but SMG is pure originality and creativity. Nothing in it will probably ever be used in any future games like Crysis' mechanics, but it will be remembered for far longer despite that, or perhaps because of that.

Why the **** would he take an AA game away from a list of AAAs and AAs? Just accept it, all those games got good scores and are worth playing if you're not too pompous to even give them a chance..

Maybe you're right. I still can't decide though.

People who buy the wii don't tend to buy alot of games though, maybe like 2 or 3 a year and only seem to buy things like the wii play type of games. All my friends seemed to have bought a wii for some reason and they say how great it is but they still only have wii play for it.Grantelicious

All those games are listed because they recieved a AA or AAA rating by gamespot, as you'd see by following the link I posted at the bottom.

You seem to forget just how sparse the 360's first-year library was. Until November, all it had were COD2, GRAW, and Oblivion.

PDZ, PGR3, Dead Rising (aware it's not AAA), Kameo (not AAA), Saint's Row (not AAA)

Yeah, sorry. It still had several more AAA in its first year than the Wii did and Warioware was one of the few games I had on the Wii and it was way too short. Galaxy is superb.

I'm not looking for AAAs, I'm looking for good games that people should buy for a console to experience something unique.

PDZ -> Yeah, right. Like anyone played that past December '05.

PGR3 -> Meh, racer.

Dead Rising -> Yes! Let's buy games with totally effed up save systems that can break your entire campaign if you save at the wrong spot! To date, this remains the only game I have ever bothered to return to the store.

Kameo -> Not even worth mentioning, especially since the Wii got Twilight Princess for its launch game.

Saints Row -> Good game, pretty decent, but hardly something that everybody would like.

Yea pardon me for using my own game experiance over someone else's. Madden 08 didn't get a very good score average's a 7.8 I think, and Wario Ware takes what, maybe 2-3 hours to beat if your bad at it? If you love em great, but let's be honest here there not that good.

Lets be clear here: reviews are obviously just opinions. However, in System Wars, people seem to treat them as "law". The person I replied to was one of them.

My mistake then, a quick glance to your left at my profile should tell you all you need to know about why I would be confused. I would be of the opisite stance than the op, as I disagree with gamespot on almost every review. Especialy madden 08 on the Wii.

Nintendo is back baby!!!! I expect more GOTY from Nintendo.

SMG as GOTY is an absolute joke. But I really don't care anymore because any site can name their own GOTY and it doesn't really mean anything.

Mass Effect - The People's Game of the Year :P

Sheep can't give one reason why SMG is better than the previous Super Marios we've seen, e.g.Super Mario Sunshine.

c_smithii

Our reasons are in all the reviews. Go read them. Collectively, they've all rated SMG the second greatest game of all time, so I don't think they'll be hard to find.
