Perhaps many of you know this already, but the voting for the GOTY at NeoGAF was extremely favorable to Wii U games this time around. If I read the archives correctly, Nintendo games have never been this "successful" in NeoGAF's history. (The NeoGAF game votes include games for PC, mobiles/tablets, portable/home consoles.) Of course, a result like this can also be seen as a "statement" to the game business, where things like broken game releases have been on-going discussions on NeoGAF. But there's no doubt lots of passion for some of the Wii U games among many gamers at NeoGAF as well.

Anyhow, here's the GOTY result thread:

Wii U-related GOTY games:
1. Bayonetta 2
2. Mario Kart 8
3. Super Smash Bros. Wii U
6. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
10. Shovel Knight

It might be interesting to note that the NeoGAF results (including the non-Wii U titles) very much reflects the GOTY votes by the readers of the French magazine "Gamekult":

Also, the votes for "Game Soundtracks of the Year" 2014 at NeoGAF showed equally strong votes for the Wii U lineup:

It's fitting as what nrogaf likes usually bombs hard.

I wouldn't call Mario Kart 8 the best racing game if the year at all

But yeah Nintendi had an extremely great year with lots of critically well received games.

WAT!
