The Golden Joystick Awards are in full swing, and it’s time to start voting for your favorite games of the year. The Switch 2 game library has been making waves with its impressive lineup, and now it’s time for players to show their support by casting their votes. With the 43rd annual event just around the corner, Nintendo’s new system and its exclusive titles are getting the recognition they deserve.
Switch 2 games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza are making a splash in the nominations. Mario Kart is up for ‘best multiplayer’, while Donkey Kong is in the running for ‘best audio design’. Both titles are also vying for the coveted title of ‘console game of the year’. They face tough competition from other popular games like Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yōtei.
The nominations don’t stop there – the Switch 2 itself has been nominated for ‘best gaming hardware’, along with its Pro controller. The competition includes top-notch gaming hardware like the WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe SSD and the Elgato Facecam 4K. It’s a tough race, but the Switch 2 is holding its own against the competition.
In addition to the main categories, Pokémon GO has been nominated for the “still playing” mobile award, showcasing its enduring popularity among players. As for the highly anticipated ‘Ultimate Game of the Year’ award, the nominations will be unveiled in the coming month.
