So.

One Nintendo game out of all of them; Donkey Konga, in the childrens award

Not bad?

The whole thing seems a little biased if you ask me.

I'd watch Newround every day, just to see that lass who presents it.
Mmmm-Hmmmm.

I don't think I really would have expected Nintendo to win much, after all if we're perfectly honest, we haven't exactly been inundated with loads of top games in the past year (though neither has any platform either really).

wtf!1
It's be an amazing year for GC.

Has it? Really?

I think all I've got in the last year has been Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Paper Mario, Donkey Konga and POP:WW. Prime 2, by some accounts, failed to live up to the first one.

None of them were ever going to be huge hits at any award ceremonies. Still, Zelda and Resi 4 should clean up next time.

I concur...

Echoes is far better than Prime. It surpassed expectations. I really don't think ANYONE was disappointed with it.

The words - 'What' 'Planet' 'Have' 'You' 'Been' 'On' spring to mind.

If its been an amazing year then we haven't got much to look forward to have we?

...

Are you trying to be funny by pointing out that it's 2005, or are you just blind to the good games that came out last year?
