So why do nintendo fans get mad over award shows when nintendo doesn't win? I mean looking at the bafatas nintendo honestly only deserved to win the handheld award.

So why get bent out of shape and why do you think nintendo should have one over the other games. I mean how exactly is skyward sword bmore innovative than child of den or l.a. noire.

Also want to know your States on the so called bias agaginst nintendo in the modern game industry.

WAT!

The handheld thing is really the only thing that seriously stirs up people....anything else is just hopeful fanboyism.

Even if you aren't a fan of games on other platforms, you really have to give credit where it's due.
Sure i'm tired of hearing about Portal 2, and it's also not really my cup of tea/coffee/applecider.
But as someone who played L..A Noire and appreciate Little Big Planet, I have to say those games deserve what they got.

"Wah wah Nintendo fanboys are whiny whiners, wah wah."

I need to remind you that people get upset when their favorite movies don't win an Oscar, or when their favorite music doesn't win a Grammy, or when their favorite TV show doesn't win an Emmy. Same concept. You make this sound like it only applies to Nintendo fanboys.

I'm a little weary about their choice of Peggle HD on the iPad over Super Mario 3D Land. It makes me think that they should have separate rewards for mobile devices and handheld devices.Other than that, I could understand the other preferences.

They really should.
Then again...."oh but they are both mobile gaming platforms!" They will say
it's just that if you play on Vita or 3DS you're getting a longer, and deeper experience than a 99 cent title. And until games on tablets or phones can reach that level of depth without being a remake or port of an early Final Fantasy game, they should separate them.

why does anyone get bent out of shape over any award show? they're fans of things, and those things aren't chosen as winners. It's not that hard a question to answer. it's not just Nintendo fans who get annoyed, it's Sega fans, it's Sony fans, it's Microsoft fans, it's Valve fans, it's Bioware fans, it's Konami fans, it's Bethseda fans... the list goes on. everyone has their day in the sun, and everyone has their days in the shade. :3

THe only thing that upsetted me is that they put Ipad/Iphone in the handheld category when it should be in a mobile category. Thats like putting a foreign movie in with the animated movies and than having the foreign movie when the Oscar. Seriously WTF???

But mobile games are handheld. It would be a waste of time to have two seperate awards for games comparable in scope.

They're not comparable in scope though. Mobile/smartphone/tablet devices don't have as many games that last you as long as a lot of games on Nintendo and Sony handhelds. Most games on the former are games that you'll only play for a few minutes at a time but there are many games on the latter that you can play for at least an hour at a time.

But a lot.of the games on tablets are D's and pap games. I mean shadowgun looks better and oats me longer than anything on both the 3ds and vita.

Couldn't I make that argument about eshop and psn games compared to say grad on mobile phones.

Sega fans never get annoyed we are a sensible, calm, common sense bunch and I now feel compelled to write to nl via the contact form to protests your clear bias and lumping us in with lesser game companies, such outrageous behaviour I cannot tolerate and hope James gives you a stern telling off, don't get me wrong its ok to have an opinion, just not against (insert subject here) that I personally like!!!

They're about as comparable as apples and bananas. They're both fruit, but not the same

Fanboys have massive persecution complexes. They think that everyone is biased against "their" company, but they don't seem to realize that as fanboys, they're the ones with the bias, they're the ones with the distorted view of things. Tunnel vision I guess.

The BAFTA thing is a perfect example; In 2007 for instance, Wii Sports won an incredible 6 awards, the following year Super Mario Galaxy won the game of the year award (don't remember hearing anyone suggest that they had an anti-Sony or anti-Microsoft bias), but because this year Nintendo won nothing now suddenly BAFTA is totally biased against the Wii/Nintendo, has no credibility, awards are meaningless, etc.

So it sounds like this a "all the cool kids like it" awards show. Wii was the cool thing so Wii games won in 2007 and Apple games are the cool thing now so now they had to get awards. But it's more bs now because there are better games than Peggle, whereas most people agreed with Wii Sports and Galaxy winning, because it at least made sense. There are many better games than PEGGLE to choose. There had to have been. So if Wii U is the cool thing in the next 2 years, they'll win a lot of awards, regardless of whether it's deserved.

also saying Little Big Planet 2 is innovative is only slight less insulting to my intelligence than saying New Super Mario Bros Wii. is innovative.

Also it's another award show that probably didn't acknowledge Radiant Historia so screw them.

I always thought questions ended in question marks. Oh well.

Anyway, these award shows are pointless. Who cares what wins, they're just silly video games.

Just for you.

So, BAFTA enjoyed Peggle more than Mario, deal with it, its a matter of personal taste. It wouldn't do any harm to anyone, it just shows that those guys find Peggle more appealing. I mean, if you liked SM3DL better, than it wouldn't bother you at all because you know you like that game better, That is if you did play the other game and make better judgment, and no award show can stop that. And I'm not just talking about Ninty fanboys, but all people who can't seem to respect other's opinions.
