Nintendo Gaming / Re: 2025 NWR Forum Awards - Best Switch Game

« Last post by M.K.Ultra on December 11, 2025, 06:11:19 PM »

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?

Yes. Yes I did. I am curious what current me will think of this old game.

Whoops, that's mostly on me. Thanks!

Not necessarily. I believe James refers to it as Calamity in the podcast also.

TalkBack / Re: Skyrim Adds Another Platform As Anniversary Edition Now Available On Switch 2

Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, and Microsoft is facing a general boycott for their actions. Therefore, buying Skyrim would not be in the interest of someone boycottting Microsoft.

I didn’t realize that wanting people to not-die was pandering, but I can sympathize trying to find a space where you can avoid feeling bad about the overwhelming amount of awfulness in the modern world. I do think you’re maybe looking in the wrong place if you’re searching for that space on the internet, though.

I read the talkback forum post first, so I was a bit confused by the original comment. It doesn’t feature there, so maybe that’s the alternative you’re looking for?

Is there a point in mentioning the boycott at the end? Especially since there is always someone doing a boycott of someone else

I’d say a boycott over complicity in genocide is worth mention.

Personally, I think throwing that line in an article that has nothing to do with Microsoft's political involvements is tacky, unnecessary, and pandering. It's not like the internet is lacking in gaming websites obsessed with politics. Maybe this site can "not" join them, at least in pure news articles?

I am throwing my hat in here, with an update to follow:

The best game that Nintendo released this year was Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, and it's not even close.

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.

Totally valid, but trying to pick the best game from what I consider to be a pretty mediocre launch lineup overall is a bit painful.

Expedition 33 deserves to win this, and it's not even a close race. The runners-up should be interesting, though.
