Topic: Nintendogs Wins at Developer Choice Awards

[WindyMan]

The puppy powered portable picks up two awards, but two other DS games are beat out in their categories.

The sixth annual Game Developer Choice Awards were held on Wednesday night, and the winners are in.  Unlike the AIAS awards, Developer Choice awards are voted on only by game developers.    

Nintendogs won the award in the Best Technology category, and also picked up a special Innovation Award.  It was also nominated for Game Design, but lost to the night's big winner, Shadow of the Colossus for the PS2.  SotC won five awards in total, including Best Game.    

Other Nintendo titles nominated for awards included Electroplankton for Best Audio, and Animal Crossing for Best Game.  Neither won an award.

Again I refuse to take seriously any awards body that can't properly award the second best reviewed game of this generation (on either platform).

I wonder if Shadow of the Colossus is actually good or something.

Artimus: These are developers, they honour innovation. And they see SOTC on the PS2 as more impressive than RE4 on the GC technologically, mostly because all of them have suffered through the pain of developing for the PS2.

I was thinking the same thing.  I played Guitar Freak in Gameware well over a year ago.
