The Award for Best Switch Game Goes To...

Donkey Kong Bananza

The newest Donkey Kong game released July 17, 2025 and was developed by Nintendo (EPD). As of November it had sold 3.49 million copies. NWR gave the game an 8.5/10 and reviewer John Rairdin said "I can’t argue with how much pure fun there is to be had in playing Donkey Kong Bananza.".

Thanks to everyone who voted or commented in the fourth annual forum awards!

With so many great games and so few voting it looks like everyone was a winner this year. Thanks to those that did vote. I picked Death Stranding 2 by the way as I have not had a chance to play the other two games, but they are on my list.

The folks deciding on The Game Awards would probably agree with broodwars as they had Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 winning almost every award it was nominated for including Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, Best Score and Music, Best Performance, Best Independent Game, Best Debut Indie Game, and Best RPG. Other winners include Doom: The Dark Ages (Innovation in Accessibility), South of Midnight (Games for Impact), Hades II (Best Action Game), and Hollow Knight: Silksong (Best Action/Adventure Game). Will Clair Obscur continue their sweep of the awards? Check back on 12/16 to find out!

While Nintendo did not receive a ton of accolades at The Game Awards last night, there were two winners from this list. Donkey Kong Bonanza won Best Family game with Doug Bowser making his final acceptance speech. Also, Mario Kart World was the winner of the Best Sports/Racing category beating longtime rival Sonic. Will either of these games take home the gold as best Switch game in the Forum Awards? Check back on 12/16 to find out.

Certainly the highlight of the show for me. When I heard that orchestra music I knew what was coming. As a huge fan of MM 11 I was also happy to see it looking similar in style. All we need is one more legacy collection to hold us over until then.

I'm rather delighted that a Switch 1 game has been announced for 2027.  That's a way's off so who knows if they'll bother with it by the time we get there but for now it's cool.  I hope the Switch 1 still gets releases at least up to its tenth birthday.

I have issues voting for a remaster as a Game of the Year, just like I don't believe the Switch 2 editions belong here.

If this was mentioned earlier I could have removed the Switch 2 editions but they are stuck in the running at this point. I was also on the fence about them. But if people vote them as winners they maybe they should be?

Eh, if people want them, I didn't see a point to taking away their fun, especially since my GOTY is in the multiplatform category so I didn't really have a horse in this race. If anything, that would just be a damning indictment of the current state of the Switch 2 if one won.
