Topic: The Game Awards 2019

Well... Smash got nominated for GOTY. But how on earth did freaking Control get picked over FE:3H or Astral Chain. I have never even heard of control until now.

@LetsGoSwitch Dude

It doesn't have to just be Nintendo games
That and Control is actually freaking amazing
It's easily Remedy's best game gameplay and story wise
I can see why it's there

@BlueBlur101 and i never said it had to be nintendo games. Im just wondering how big control was. Also, DMC5 got snubbed hard

@LetsGoSwitch DMC5 deserved a GOTY nomination honestly

In my opinion, I'm surprised Kingdom Hearts 3 wasn't nominated for GOTY.

Also, am I just misreading or do any games releasing on or before the 15th of November have a chance of being nominated? If so, there's a distinct lack of Pokémon from any category.

@Matthew010 I wonder how many of the panel would have played the game at that point, and many people were still riding the hate train.

I think Pokemon definitely deserved to be nominated for family game - it's arguably a better game than both Yoshi and Ring Fit. However I'm not sure what else it would've been nominated for, and I don't see it taking home any awards.

I wonder if Control got so many nominations because they feel bad that it didn't sell very well, so they're trying to give it a late-term boost.
That's clearly what some awards are used for.

That would make sense, since one of the main discussion points I heard about Control is disappointment that it didn't sell better. The Titanfall 2 of 2019.

Tonight's the night.

I assume two, maybe three announcements for the Switch tonight?

Here's hoping.

@Magician
2-3 is my guess too. I’m thinking Bayo3 release window Q3 2020, Smash DLC reveal and then Metroid trilogy. Would have loved a big third party reveal like MK11 last year but i dont see it happening..

Damn Bravely Default 2 I didn't expect. Looks great.

Anybody got a link to the Live article chat? It was there a second ago. 😝

@rjejr Live article chat keeps resetting for me a LONG time ago and it's not working.

Darn it. Gotta booted off and, when I reset the page, I couldn't access the link anymore.

@Ralizah Heh, good thing I'm not alone in this! Looks like NL's Game awards chat is acting spotty.

@Captain_Toad It's weird. It's not even on the main page anymore, and if you try to go the URL directly, it just says it's a broken link.

Ah well...
At least i can filter the Switch games articles that has been announced during the event.

Weird West looks pretty interesting. Since it is being published by Devolver Digital, it will most likely come to Switch.

Thanks guys, back to PS it is.

Everyone: Well obviously they'll reveal Smash DLC, but what else? Zelda?

TGAs: No More Heroes and Bravely Default II. What's smash?
