The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards are coming on 11th March, and will be hosted by John Cena - he'll potentially be wearing tight orange shorts that can't be unseen. Now the shortlists have been revealed; the music category includes such family friendly acts as Drake and Rihanna, and that child-friendly song Side to Side by Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. Um, okay.
The video game category has two Nintendo games in it - anyone that points out a potential clash of interests due to Nintendo of America being a sponsor of the event should be careful; Mario could show up at your door with his favourite and particularly menacing wrench, which he calls 'Pauline' for old time's sake.
The nominees are:
- Just Dance 2017
- Lego Marvel's Avengers
- Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens
- Minecraft: Story Mode
- Paper Mario: Color Splash
- Pokémon Moon
We're keeping our eyes peeled for Pokémon Sun fans launching a petition, it'll happen any moment now...
Best of luck to all the nominees - our strict 'no John Cena' policy may mean we won't watch the event here in Nintendo Life Towers.

Dang right us Pokémon Sun fans will launch a petition... it's clearly the better near-identical, slightly time-offset game!!
Haha, well I'm happy that any Pokémon game gets some attention, they've always been fun and deserve their place in the public consciousness. Now if Pokémon Duel was up for an award I'd gather up the flaming torches & pitchforks!!
You don't even need to see the dumb awards to know the mine craft is going to win.
@Firelork It's a shame as Minecraft: Story Mode isn't even real Minecraft... it's just a series of -feels sick in mouth- real-time events with a Minecraft skin to it. :/
change dot org / pokemon sun lives matter
wait 'til suda makes his switch game. that'll clean up at the kids choice awards.
Pros to Pokémon Moon:
1) Lunala is a Ghost/Psychic legendary
2) What else do you even want
So odd, why wouldn't they just group Sun & Moon together? I mean I have Moon, so I'm glad I'm represented, but I mean together they're one real game, its not like they're entirely different experiences.
Paper Mario Color Splash win an award? I mean it's not terrible but honestly I enjoyed Star Fox Zero a lot better than that. At least it was a little bit better than Sticker Star. Still haven't beat it though. The rock paper scissors luck things are garbage. Tried the 2nd one 6 times and lost on the luck driven third round every time.
Maybe Cena likes Moon more. It's like the Smackdown Live of Pokemon Gen VII. Lol
BTW the list is missing WWE 2k17. Lol
I'm old enough to know that party games or Minecraft is guaranteed to win. When I was younger, I would get so mad when Mario didn't win lol
Where the hell is COD. COD is for kids
Poor kids don't know the true joys of a real Paper Mario.
that "no john cena" policy should be enforced on the entire internet, what a pooppoor meme
Devils Third. a great game for kids
At least Paper Mario is getting mentioned somewhere I guess. The game was way better than I thought and I wish more people would give it a chance. Really, really enjoyed it.
@therealgamer lol so true that's why I never got into cod
As always the polls would be rigged by it's "other considerations" and the immature kids won't know what a game with actual substance is.
@samuelvictor You were in Rogue One!? Which scene were you in?
I wonder how much Nintendo payed Nickelodeon to put Color Splash on that list. At least Star Fox Zero was fun.
@NintySnesMan @therealgamer
Guys, seriously !
Those games you mentioned are NOT FOR KIDS !!
That's ADULT GAMES !!
Geez..!
@Anti-matter
Yes I was just teasing (joking)
@samuelvictor just checked your interview with BBC wales. 👍🏻
@samuelvictor Wow that's awesome, congrats!
Nicki Minaj? Family-friendly? Mmmm'kay....
@samuelvictor: That's awesome! I'll try and keep an eye out for you!
@Anti-Matter
Whooooooosh!
@samuelvictor How. Freaking. Awesome. It's so cool to see a movie star on this site
Erm John Cena looks mighty fine in those shorts I say lol!
@DanteSolablood I like how Story Mode is executed. When I heard of it I thought it would be some dumbed-down story about "Steve" with Herobrine as the main villain or something, but I'm glad they just made it about some random new characters that just happen to live in the Minecraft universe. It just makes it feel more real as a world.
I guess side to side is there to warn kids about the dangers of too much sex.
Moon is for plebes
@ZurapiiYohane64 "Please welcome this year's host, Jack the Ripper!"
@samuelvictor I will make a Star Wars Rogue Pun in your honor. May the Force be with you!
"We're keeping our eyes peeled for Pokémon Sun fans launching a petition, it'll happen any moment now..."
Honestly, knowing how modern society functions, it wouldn't surprise me if they boycotted the Kids' Choice Awards, accused Nickelodeon of being "heliophobic moon-supremacist fascists", used hashtags like # NotMyKidsChoiceAwards, started violent "protests" in front of Nickelodeon headquarters, blocked roads, and assaulted people who play Moon instead of Sun.
