Nintendo Switch Game of the Month Poll – April 2017

Winner - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Final - https://goo.gl/LFZPmM

Semi Finals have taken across with nearly 100 votes coming in! The first 3 semi finals were won at a canter by Zelda, Mario Kart and Tetris but the 4th was very tight with Super Bomberman R coming out on top by 1 vote.

Please find in the above link the 18 games that have made it through to the final. Who will take the opening crown? And will they be able to defend it successfully next month?! See below for usual spiel.

Structure
This is how it works. The idea is to vote for the game you have played in the respective month and ENJOYED THE MOST. Games eligible for the months poll will have to meet one of the following criteria

[*]Released in that month (This forum covers EU and NA Releases which obviously differ. The releases will be taken from Metacritic
[*]Released in the previous month (To give games released late in the previous month a chance)
[*]Finished 1st-12th in last months poll
[*]Previously finished 1st in any poll for the previous 6 months
[*]Previously finished 1st-3rd in any poll for the previous 5 months
[*]Previously finished 1st-5th in any poll for the previous 4 months
[*]Previously finished 1st-8th in any poll for the past 3 months

This structure typically gives 20-30 games each month that a player can choose to vote for. These are then RANDOMLY split into 2 or 3 semi-final polls with the top 4 or 3 respectively going through to the final poll

Each poll lasts for 3 days with the semi-final poll being released on 1st of the month (Except for this month…)

The winning game of the final poll will become the Nintendo Life Forums Switch Game of the Month and qualify for the end of the year championships.

At the end of the year the top 10 scoring games across the year and any monthly winners will compete in a final poll for Game of the Year.

Admin
The only thing I ask is when you vote just put a comment in the thread to keep it alive and fresh!

REMEMBER: It is important to vote ONLY for the game that has given you the most enjoyment in the LAST MONTH. THIS IS USUALLY THE GAME YOU SPENT THE MOST TIME ON IN THE LAST MONTH (Use this as a tiebreaker if you enjoyed 2 games equally) If you did not play a game in any of the polls or all the games you played you disliked please abstain from voting

15 votes already. Please comment in here. Let's get some discussion going. Was between Zelda and Mario for me. Zelda has more depth and I'm a Mark for rpgs so had to be that!

I voted for MK8. Would also seriously consider NBA Playgrounds if it was a choice.

hi there. Unfortuantly it is not a choice as not down as an April release on Metacritic. Will be in next month's poll

ZELDA and MK8 expected clear leaders at this stage! Currently joint 1st! Tied winner results in countback from previous final or in the result of a new game countback from the semi finals
