Over recent days Nintendo Minute has been hosting some Game of the Year videos in which hosts Kit and Krysta have picked their favourites from the year, and also taken us through a number of knockout rounds in which viewers vote for their overall winner. A 'Bonus' video has now looked at alternative awards and also revealed the viewer's GotY finalists.
The alternative categories tackled by the hosts — first of all — are Best Soundtrack, Characters and Box Art; whether you agree with the choices or not, there are certainly plenty of competitors to consider for the year.
Then we have the semi-final results of the show's Super Sixteen Showdown, with the finalists being worthy and somewhat predictable, despite the efforts of the hosts right back at the start to randomise the whole process.
Check the video out below and wait to the end if you want to vote — through Twitter — in the viewer award. As for our awards here on Nintendo Life, voting closes very soon for the Reader awards, so be sure to vote if you haven't done so already.

BULLPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! Bayonetta deserved more than Mario Kart!! >
Go go Mario Kart 8!
^ The contrast in the comments above me is kind of hilarious.
Bayonetta 2 is a truly outstanding game, but doesn't have the wide appeal (not to mention the replayability) that Mario Kart 8 has. I think that's clearly the difference there. Not to mention that I thought MK8 - including it's awesome DLC - is one of the best entries in that franchise as well.
Well, those two making it there was no surprise! I'm curious as to which one will make it, though.
I have feeling that Super Smash will win...SSB4 had hype years before it even came out. But, I am fine with either game winning because they are both excellent games.
Mario Kart 8 has an amazing soundtrack, but better than Tropical Freeze?! Lol no. Just no.
I like this bonus video for a certain reason, heh, heh.
Also, shout out to the koopalings.
Mario Kart 8 > Smash U!
Anyone else get bored of watching these? They've kind of lost it for me.
I cant decide!!!! But I will hand it to Smash Wii U simply because it has a few Mariokart stages that I love and also music from Mariokart 8. However Mariokart 8 does have costumes for most characters in smash. But not all
Bravely Default had my favorite OST this year by far. SUCH amazing music.
Krysta is so cute... <3
This is the finale I was expecting though it's obvious Smash Wii U will win because of how hyped up it was over the past year with PotD, Nintendo Directs and involvement at E3. The only way in which Mario Kart 8 could win is if most people voting got burned by the GC adapter or amiibo shortage and hence their experience of the game was ruined.
Smash U defeated my two favorite games this year - DKC Tropical Freeze and Shovel Knight. Also, it just so happens to be my third favorite. So I'm rooting for it.
As far as soundtrack goes, please. Tropical Freeze, end of story.
DKC Tropical Freeze is my GOTY...but as far as this showdown my WiiU says i have over 300 hours playing MK8 so that's where my vote is going
@ricklongo i absolutely agree no questions asked DKC Tropical Freeze soundtrack is legendary...in fact im krazy enough to say David Wise created something equal to if not greater than his original work...there's so much depth in each song...Abyss amiss...my mind cant take it!!!
I want one of those sweaters.
Krysta ! We love yoooooooo!
