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.

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.
