It’s so sad that Nintendo minute just ended so abruptly, it’s going to suck without those guys

Listening to Kit and Krysta after they said goodbye on Nintendo Minute is like getting a call from you Ex that just broke up with you recently...

It’s really hard to believe how fast 2021 went by

Yes. We all picked Metroid Dread

My man Toby fox was some random guy making some funny goofy games with his bro. And now he gets so much appreciation. Proud of ma man

Why wasn’t SMT V a nominee in any category? It’s definitely a contender for a few of these categories imo

I love that Dread won 50% of this!

I’m really going to miss NINTENDO Minute with Kit and Krysta ☹️. It was a treat to watch with hubby.

Something tells me that Nintendo is going to have a bright future in 2022

Monster Hunter Rise is my number 1 pick for this year, but Metroid Dread was amazing as well, and I'm also still loving Brilliant Diamond.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is my GOTY

All of the games are really great 👍

Best games of 2021:1 metroid dread, 2 zelda skyward sword hd, 3 mario party superstars, 4 bowser s fury , 5 warioware get it toghether

Death's Door is the Best Game of the Year! They did such a wonderful job with the Switch version as well!

I was hoping Kit and Krysta would be in this!!!

oh yeah that was the best in all-time episode of Nintendo power podcast that big way of Hallelujah.

Basically Metroid Dread for almost every category.

"Sooo Relaxing" What game should i choose? Wii U Background Menu Theme?

Happy to see New Pokemon Snap win some category, especially after the Game Awards. Definitely my game of the year, I put over 100 hours into it, been wanting a sequel to the original forever. I am also very curious what game got 2nd to Metroid for game of the year.

I wish Nintendo Power was still a magazine

I hate/love hearing Kit & Krysta again. It’s so sad that Nintendo Minute is over. But I’m happy to hear them, because I loved Nintendo Minute!

SMT V is my game of the year

lol Classic PWM Square Wave Sound

Did- did Nintendo jus- *DID NINTENDO JUST TALK ABOUT FAN GAMES IN A POSITIVE LIGHT!?*

Shin Megami Tesnsei V got robbed. Glad Cruisn' got a shout out tho

Dang, SMT V really got shunned here! Could have easily fit into a lot of these categories, especially for music and graphics

It would be great if Nintendo also added the Zelda HD games (Twilight Princess and Wind Waker) and the 3ds games (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask) on the Nintendo Switch Console.

Saved you some clicks, winners below MERRY MULTIPLAYER: Mario Party Superstars GREAT GRAPHICS: Metroid Dread WHAT A STORY: Metroid Dread INTENSE ACTION: Metroid Dread SUPER SOUNDTRACK: Deltarune Chapter 1&2 TOUGH CHALLENGE: Metroid Dread SPIFFY INDIE: Axiom Verge 2 SOOO RELAXING: New Pokémon Snap RAD REVIVAL: The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD PLAYERS GAME OF THE YEAR: Metroid Dread

So many good games out this year! This was the year where I got what I had been hoping for since 2018: a Mario Golf for Switch. Not disappointed in the slightest.

I know that Kit & Krysta were on a few other episodes, including the Fan-Favorite videos, of the Nintendo Power Podcast but is there like a list? I wanna watch them.

Merry Christmas and to back!!

Damn I miss Nintendo Week so much, :-( Same with the 3DS e-shop show. and of course I miss Ninty Power so much.

I hope Kit and Krysta stay on Nintendo Podcast. They shouldn’t just disappear forever after the announcement a few days ago.

*Nostalgia*

Woooow Nintendo Minute confirmed to return 😲

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope 2022. 🌌 🌠 🐰

It really has been a brilliant year of Nintendo ngl! So many games brought to the platter this year, new games, remakes, indie games, thank you for ano amazing year...I am pretty bias, it was nice to hear Pokemon games pop up a lot, I truly agree Pokemon Snap being the winner of 'Sooo Relaxing', it was an extremely beautiful game, especially wearing headphones I felt like I was in the world of Pokemon. My game of the year though is a very close tie between Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl and Pokémon Unite, BDSP has such an amazing and thrilling story that I could just not get bored of despite the originals being 15 years old, and Pokémon Unite has been so immersive, I said when it came up in the Pokémon Direct that I'd only play a few games and get bored, and besides Pokémon Sword & Shield, it was my 2nd most played game of the year, I like how well it is maintained by the producers and often bringing in new content to keep it going, it's a very healthy free multiplayer game, MOBA. No shade of course on the other games from the year but I've always been immersed in the Pokémon Franchise

2022 is going to be a FANTASTIC year for Nintendo. Mainly bcuz that’s when Zelda botw 2 comes out :v

How was Bravely Default II not mentioned anywhere? Especially for the Story category?

Nintendo is the best!!

Didn't expect this coming Nintendo

Ngl I completely forgot 3d world bowser’s fury happened this year

and i'm here still playing Earthbound hopelessly hoping a re-release on the Switch oof (they could change copyrighted content you know, even the music they could change it to anything else to at least release it)

Hey, game awards for games that actually matter, instead of just picking whatever is the most graphically demanding. 😊

Monster Hunter Rise is so underrated...

Monster Hunter Stories 2 is my 2021 GotY 😁

How about the fan favorite, virtual console?

I'm happy Mario Party Superstars won Merry Multiplayer! It deserved that title because it has a well-balanced set of minigames from Mario Party 1-10 and improves what Mario Party: Top 100 failed to do.

It makes me very sad to think this could be the last time we hear from Kit and Krysta.

Metroid Dread, Metroid Dread and more Metroid Dread

Nice

S👏M👏T👏V👏

Never really paid much attention to Metroid, but I'm not surprised that it won

Dam Doki Doki literature club was nominated for the what a story reward, it was close The game just needs to Keep hanging in there

I'm so sad cuz n.m. is no more...I hope it will come back....My Saturday will not be the same again cuz I won't see Kit & Krysta...They are very good hosts for Nintendo...they represented the company very well...😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I almost thought this said "favorite fan-games" and my mind almost broke.

I really don't like that nintendo Powers are now only on UKposts as a "podcast" I would love to see them bring back the Nintendo Power magazines.

Nintendo next episode please

LETS GOOOOOOOO

Well that's a kick in nuts for nintendo minute ...

Toby Fox should be put in charge of the Earth Bound franchise

Why isn't Shin Megami Tensei V nominated in great graphics, super soundtrack, what a story or mainly tough challenge? Need an explanation. I don't know if it's fans fault or Nintendo Power fault. But that's just wrong.

Miitopia doesn't even show up, big sad😭

Nintendo=Goat 🐐

well this list is obviously malarkey cuz "My Friend Peppa Pig" wasnt on it

man I would be so happy if they released super Mario galaxy 3

Send the Mario movie 2022 trailer!!! Please

Dude... Shin Megami Tensei V should have won everything.

Remember when Monkey Ball was announced for the Switch? What happened to that game?

c'mon ... we REALLY need wii sport on switch. Plus, it would make million

Bring back Kit and Krysta on Nintendo Minute!

I don't have a Nintendo switch until now

Bruh, I haven't played any of the games they mentioned. What am I doing on my switch?

Hey there

I honestly thought MegaMan was gonna be on the intense action catagory

Nintendo, next year should be the perfect year to finally bring back "Golden Sun" with a remake of Golden Sun 1 & 2 for the Switch and using the HD-2D engine like Octopath Traveler. Let Team Asano work on Golden Sun. You know us fans want a brand new Golden Sun. Also, since there are many great JRPGs on Switch, it may be time to talk to Square Enix about making a "Super Mario RPG 2" for Switch or an exclusive mainline Final Fantasy game. Metroid Dread was one of the biggest surprises of 2021 and was the best Metroid game ever and MercurySteam did an amazing job developing it. This long rumored game became a reality and was a massive success. It would be the right choice for Nintendo to acquire MercurySteam and let them make new 2D Metroid games going forward. Who knows, maybe even let them remake Metroid Fusion in the same vein as Dread. Mario Golf Super Rush was a good game, but can you please look towards making a Mario Basketball and/or Mario Football (Not Soccer) game next. Give the tennis and golf games a break for now. Shin Megami Tensei 5 and Bravely Default 2 were both amazing games and Monster Hunter Rise was a juggernaut success worldwide especially in Japan. 2021 was a great year for Nintendo and the Switch especially since it continue selling worldwide, but 2022 could be even better with many big announcements and what ever new surprises we could see next. However, since we are now getting to the 6th year of the Switch and while sales are still increasing, all that money Nintendo is making should go towards making more bigger games, outsourcing 3rd party developers and acquiring more studios, and to make a more powerful Switch hybrid console to keep the momentum going. Great job with 2021 Nintendo and good luck in 2022.

We need new donkey kong game, new Mario game

I don't know, but Doom Eternal I think it qualify as an Intense Action game and Crysis Trilogy or Ninja Gaiden Remastered should contest the Great graphics game, I don't totally agree with the nominees, but whatever

what abt skyward sword, that was my game of the year for sure

Acnh would have been great in sooo relaxing

Could you please port yoshis woolly world to the switch

Well yeah no duh the Nintendo fans picked the Nintendo game who would have thought Also WHAT THE HECK NO WARIOWARE NOMINATED ANYWHERE?

I feel like hollow knight doesn’t get enough attention. But when silksong comes out, the community is sure to thrive!

Wow

I liked Monster Hunter Rise but it definitely could've been better.

Can you add on Mario cart 8 you can add friends and play with them

mario party superstars was obvi

Noice

Metroid is such a story driven game I love how they don't tell it at all and you just have to guess and make your own words... WTF

How did deltarune not get the what a story nomination?

When is super mario maker 3 coming out?

moment

This Year was ok. Not terrible, but probably the weakest since the Switch's Launch. But Next Year looks absolutely incredible

Guys does someon know when theres coming a New nintendo direct?

The great ace attorney chronicles got robbed

Hmm

okay but they shafted the ACTUAL game of the year which was Shin Megami Tensei V (just a joke but it was seriously my choice of game of the year - waited waaaaaaay too long for it)

Honestly Monster Hunter got robbed for best multiplayer

Nintendo

I am surprised Nintendo is promoting something with the word "fan" in it
