Thank you for sharing for those who are busy or don't have the time and just want to know!
That's a lot of Smash Bros.
Good.
Well honestly, SSB's Soundtrack is made from some of the best songs from all the represented franchises, it's nearly impossible to beat that.
THANKS
*neat
Categories that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate won:
Multiplayer
Hype moment
Best-looking game
Soundtrack
Character of the year
Game of the year.
Jesus, Smash Bros. really is the answer to everything
and super overhyped
as well
Except come on... Octopath is a MUCH better looking game. It definitely shouldn't have one that one.
@@matthewcolemere4824 i love Smash!
I played it for a long time.
This is an opinion though
@@reallifesupermario4569 I love it too! But I felt like some of these awards could have gone other places. It's definitely my favorite Smash since Melee. I've been having a blast with it.
No it's just overrated on every front
GUYS IT'S ISABELLE'S BIRTHDAY!
*WE* 👏 *NEED* 👏 *ANIMAL* 👏 *CROSSING!* 👏
Yes we do but ew isabelle
@@DrGoji ok
WE 👏 NEED 👏 PIKMIN 👏 4 👏 IN 👏 NINTENDO 👏 SWITCH 👏
@@DrGoji fite me
@@gray_real I spot a fellow Homestuck...?
I’m not surprised that smash bros won so many awards, it was a really good game, and addicting. But I am quite mad that some of the greatest game were not even mentioned, xenoblade 2? That was the most beautiful graphics I’ve ever played in a game, along with Valkyrie Chronicles 4. What about the indies games that were produced this year. Countless had been released and none of them are featured? Smash is a great game but doesn’t deserve this many awards. Just some opinions honestly.
And the winner is...
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
This really takes me back to reading the Nintendo Power awards back in the day
*Nintendo POWAH*
It is... *THA NEENTENDOUGH POWAH*
"Insert sr pelo scream here"
???? Pixar ?????
SOME EPIC POWAH
USE THE CLUES THAT YOU CAN USE
*NINTENDO POWAAAAAAAH*
Best indie hidden gem: The Gardens Between
In my opinion, Celeste deserved best looking, and maybe even retro redux
And game of the year
and character of the year
ssbu is very overrated lol some people probably went and voted for all ssbu choices
@@Melecie it is really fun tho
Ioannis Chatzikyriakos every game in this category is fun tho
it’s just that ssbu is overrated, and maybe because it’s a nintendo franchise so there are the new fans plus the already existing fans PLUS the nintendo players, and some of them probably jumped on the polls and supported their game
before you say i am a hater, i do like ssbu, and in ths goty category i also like celeste
I love that the podcast is still going strong!
I listen to every single one of these and heavily enjoy them!
Keep up the great work, guys!
I wonder how it was if not everyone voted for Smash because its Smash but really pick the best. I mean, King K. Rool as Character of the year? Thats dumb and shoudn't be in there. Smash would win everything if it was a pick in every category.
Super smash bros basically won the whole year lmao
Right now, nobody has finished this video. Accept for Nintendo.
@Nintendo, aside from the games that we already know about and is coming to Nintendo Switch likely in 2019 like Fire Emblem, Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, Gen 8 Pokemon, Animal Crossing, etc, hopefully throughout 2019 Nintendo will surprise all of us with more brand new big unannounced 1st party and 3rd party games and other big surprises. 2017 was Nintendo's greatest year with big high quality games releasing each month. 2018 had its ups and downs but we got some great games like Octopath Traveler, Xenoblade 2 Torna, DKCTF, The Messenger, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Hyrule Warriors, etc etc. 2019 should be even better and Nintendo seriously needs to start listening to all gamers/fans and developers feedback and responses on what we want to see from them instead of just relying on their own ideas, no offense. In 2018, we have seen some 3rd party developers and even Sony and Microsoft begin reviving and remaking some of their classic franchises (Capcom with DMC5, Mega Man 11, and RE2R, SNK with Samurai Spirits, Bandai Namco with SC6, Activison with Spyro, Sony with GoW, Microsoft with the upcoming BattleToads, etc) and they have literally listened to the feedback. Nintendo has to and needs to be doing the same thing and not be holding back. They have so many IP's that deserve a comeback and there are some things that they need to improve on like Switch Online Service, voice chat, hardware features, etc. 2019 needs to be another great year. Here are the Nintendo franchises that need to make a comeback.
-Golden Sun (Developed or Co-developed by MonolithSoft, Acquire, or Silicon Studio. In an HD-2D 16-bit/32-bit pixel art sprite style just like Octopath Traveler or in a full 3D 3rd Person seamlessly massive free roaming Open-World just like Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, and Dragon Quest 11, with the traditional Turn-based ATB gameplay formula, new characters, new stories, new features, etc)
-F-Zero (Back to its futuristic racing roots like from the Super Nintendo and Gamecube game)
-2D Wario Land
-Kid Icarus (Gameplay similar to Kid Icarus Uprising but with better controls and further improved gameplay, new story/plot, more 4th wall breaking)
-Excitebike
-Fatal Frame (Atmospheric Survival-Horror, Sense of Isolation, Psychological Horror, Uncensored)
-Duck Hunt Duo (A brand new full 3D 3rd Person non-linear free roaming Open-World sandbox exploration style Action-Adventure Platformer in the same vein as Super Mario Odyssey, Banjo-Kazooie, and Super Mario 64)
-Paper Mario (Back to its original gameplay roots just like from the original Paper Mario and from The Thousand Year Door and even learn from the Mario and Luigi RPG series, very story driven, very authentic, challenging)
-Mario & Luigi series (New stories/plots, Back to its original gameplay roots from the first game with more new features, more playable characters and more humor/banter)
-New 2D Metroid (Metroid 5/Metroid Dread developed by either WayForward or MercurySteam, story takes place after the events of Metroid Fusion, Very atmospheric dark tone, since of isolation, dread, horror, and fear, massively huge, and non-linear, but very story-driven)
-The Mysterious Murasame Castle (Developed by either Platinum Games or FromSoftware, A big full 3D 3rd Person Perspective Over-The-Top Stylish Samurai Action-Adventure game, Takamaru as the main protagonist, Single Player Only, very deep story driven, 60FPS, gameplay in the style of like Bayonetta and other Action games, Stealth gameplay elements/mechanics, Maybe in a large Open-World like Breath of the Wild and other Open World Action games, Inspired by real life Japan culture, learn from and borrow some ideas and inspiration from upcoming games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Ghost of Tsushima, make it feel authentic and organic)
Kevin Ramirez GAME AND WATCH GALLERY!!!!!!!!!!!!
You mean listening to fans who ask for games, but then don't buy them? "Listening to fans" doesn't exist, because it assumes everyone wants the same. And the vocal people online aren't representative of all fans or consumers.
Smash Bros
"What was the year’s most fun multiplayer game that secretly ruins friendships?"
Um lol only 2 games fit that bill, Mario party or smash bros...
Lincoln B. Mario Kart?
Ever heard of a game called, "Overcooked"?
will there ever be DLC of more boards or something for Super Mario Party?
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with some of the missing characters from the past ones and an added cup or something of more tracks?
Nintendo is pure magic ... it's like the Disney of video games
why meanwhile the other companies are striving to make things more and more realistic
Why the question mark at the end?
@@elliotromero6213 Ah sorry
I do not speak much English, so to make sure I write things right, I use the translator
hshshshsh
Honestly there are some situations where realism can work, with Yakuza being a great example.... but yeah I prefer cartoony games a lot of the time, cause they have a nice variety in style which is tons of fun.
I think people are hating a lot realism. All this "graphics don't matter" thing became so popular
@@BigFearedBalloon the problem with realism is when a company prioritize realism over gameplay.
As a Pokemon fan, I can say, that honestly, super smash bros took me by storm. The amount of pure content poured into it is extraordinary. My winner would be super smash bros. We will just have to wait for gen 8 to see how Pokemon will come back.
Also, congrats on one year of Nintendo Power podcast. I'm thrilled NP has been brought back in some form by somebody who was a key player during the brand's print run.
Super smash bros ultimate is the key to everything
Fan favorite game...
*SUPER SMASH ULTIMATE* IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER :v
Pls stop using the ":v"
But good one, nice
I havent even played it yet but yes its my game of the year lmao
Espere un wey que habla ingles usa el pacman? :v

King k best character of 2018 👌🏿
madeline > k rool
LET THE SALT BEGIN!
4:21 And suddenly the next Mario Party is a first person horror game
Spoiler Alert
I’m surprised that Hollow Knight didn’t make it to Best-Looking Game nominees.
Favourite game must be F-zero Swi...
Never mind, I’m a dreamer.
Love Zelda Botw, smash and Pokémon
The only way fortnite ruins friendships is when you find out your friends play it.
Tetris Foreva
wish this podcast was available in Spotify
Best ball game by far was Marble It Up! Such a hidden gem.
Arcade Archives: Donkey Kong Jr. and Mario Bros. are my fan-favorite Nintendo Switch games.
1 whole year, damn
44:03 that laugh😨
Nice, Kirby is even better relaxing this way... just wait until they get to the Soul Melter EX
Best online multiplayer 2018 was Woomy :3
Of course Smash Ultimate was in the video
Thank you.
I can't wait for Metroid Prime 4, especially now that Retro is back in the driver's seat! :D
Shigeru Miyamoto versus Masahiro Sakurai which one is the best creators of their characters
Oooh, it's Kit and Krysta! Nintendo Minute... is over an hour :D
Never a minute.
Multiplayer games here! 4 players! Mom, Papa, grandpapa and grandmama, We all play Nintendo together! 4 controllers in Mario 3D, Mario Kart, so much much family fun! Grandmama, Papa and Mama play using the motion-controllers, only Grandpapa uses "classic controller". The motion control was the bless that allowed Grandmama to play!
LOL I have seven siblings and Super Smash Bros actually turns everyday life into war! 😂😂😂
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was considered to be a Players Choice, now Nintendo Selects, and winning 2018 Game of The Year proves my point. People were hyped to see Princess Daisy playable in a fighting game and it is a miracle to see it happen. Sorry Nintendo had to cut Daisy out from video games since Miyamoto got offended about Daisy's original design being a rip-off from Peach. That explains why Daisy became a forgotten 90's Nintendo mascot, but your company did a great job making Daisy different from Peach being the most cartoonish Super Mario character she was made to become. I give you a B for that. Daisy's original design may have been forgotten due to her unfortunate hiatus from video games, but her design was actually intended to make Daisy look like a cartoon character.
I wish I could subscribe to the magazine, Bring it back then Nintendo!
yeah uhhh....
where’s waluigis taco stand
It went out of business, ese vato.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is A Favorite Of Mine. Nintendo, You Did A Good Job With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Get the power, Nintendo power!
Nintendo got the power
One like = one wish for the development of Nintendo and his awesome company
Dando uma olhada.
Didn't vote but my favorite game of the year for any platform was easily Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. My Switch top 5 would be rounded out with the Bayonetta 1+2 collection, Guacamelee 2, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Mega Man 11.
Yeh 55:46
Where is DKCTF in best soundtrack?
There was a distinct lack of vistas this year...
Sans should be the character of the year!
well, his game did come out like 2 years ago so it makes sense that he wasnt
Quillaia ツ but undertale got to switch this year
@@assafbaron7239 yeah ik, but i dont think that matters in this case. i agree though, sans is a great character
he will be im from the futer
Oh gee, I wonder what won.
@Nintendo, Many of us really do believe and think that it is time for you to begin thinking about reviving the Golden Sun franchise and consider developing a brand new game (Golden Sun 4) exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. Looking at the worldwide success of Octopath Traveler (A Classic traditional turn-based JRPG in a similar vein as Final Fantasy 6), it goes to show you that gamers/fans (Myself Included) do want to see more high quality HD-2D traditional fantasy JRPG’s on Switch. The first 2 Golden Sun games on the Game Boy Advance were both amazing original classic JRPG’s and are still fun to play. The story, gameplay, characters, soundtrack, and the puzzles were all great. Gamers/fans have demanded for a return or revival of the franchise. If something like Fire Emblem (A Strategy RPG) can manage to be saved thanks to the success of Fire Emblem Awakening and can lead to numerous new FE games like Fates, Heroes, Warriors, and the upcoming Three Houses and become an important major IP for Nintendo, then Golden Sun should do the same somehow. A very, very good example about the huge fan demand for more Golden Sun games is from Smash Bros Ultimate with Issac returning as an Assist Trophy. Even though many of us were disappointed by the fact that Issac was once again not a playable fighter and due to those fake leaks, you CANNOT deny the fact that gamers DO know who Issac is and/or have played the Golden Sun games before. Whether that be from the Game Boy Advance or on the Wii U virtual console. The last Golden Sun game ever released was almost 9 years ago and it does seem like the right time to revive the franchise and to revive other Nintendo franchises/IP’s. However, since developer Camelot Software Planning has been making many Mario Sports games lately and who knows what the Takahashi brothers at Camelot are currently doing at all, many gamers/fans do think that maybe it is best that you should let another developer be the ones to develop or co-develop a brand new GS game. MonolithSoft seems like the best choice since they know how to develop high quality JRPG’s like Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Two other developers that would be great to see handle the Golden Sun series are either Acquire (Developers of Octopath Traveler) or Silicon Studio (Developers of Bravely Default and Bravely Second). Both have also developed great quality JRPG’s. Nintendo fans, RPG fans, and all gamers/fans in general want more JRPG’s on Switch and they have been selling phenomenally well on Switch. For a brand new Golden Sun game, these are the important things that Golden Sun 4 needs to have and should have.
-An epic engaging fantasy story w/ plot twists and other surprises
-HD-2D visuals/graphics and art style
-Brain teasing and mind-blowing puzzles
-Great gameplay and Turn-Based ATB battle system
-Amazing dungeons
-Epic boss battles
-Great cast of characters
-Amazing soundtrack
-Beautiful and colorful diverse environments, towns, and over-world
-Tons of replay value
Stop
36:50 saying that indie games are in many nominations
yet the only non-major dev here is undertale
How is megaman "done in a retro style" though?
Power pump girls
Tfw a linear, 2 ending game wins the narrative award over other titles that have more story courses, original art styles, and plots that are cohesive instead of annoying fanfare
youve clearly never played undertale
Undertale is a well written rpg, regardless of the fanbase.
what they don' realize is that despite the fact that smash is a good game, a lot of people major games (such as botw, splatoon 2, sm odyssey, smash ultimate, etc) and don't play the smaller games or indie games that they mentioned like celeste. Therefore most of the votes are going to go to the more popular game.
Nintendo team up with Hasbro so the fans can have My Little Pony Splatfest.
I liked the part where he said “super smash brothers : ultimate”
hey Nintendo, is it true that "TOGETHER!" battle cats is coming on the Nintendo switch?
Okay, like, not a single one of these were unpredictable. It was as obvious as obvious gets. Every single one of them. It almost felt rigged 😂
Best looking game should have been Wolfenstein II or Warframe, true miracles on the Switch!
FATAL FRAME 5!!
Prim is the best Character of Year, Kitten.
And CELESTE is GOTY. Bro'
Im calling it game of the year smash bros ultimate
Of course Smash ultimate.
why are the voices so quiet and the results sound effects SO loud?
Stopped watching when I saw smash won multiplayer, since it launched days ago...
K byeee
*weeks
i mean like there are a ton of other deserving games here and smash won almost everything
55:42 smash was chisen for promotion (im not hating, i have it)
Along with 1:58
Featuring 31:58
38:07 king k rool won for smash ultimate, try to convince me this isnt for promotion
Hey
Of course Smash would win best Soundtrack. It's Soundtrack is the best songs from like 30 franchises, what's supposed to be able to beat that?
Wuuuuu súper smash bros
BIAS!!! There's no way Mario Tennis is more fun than NBA Playgrounds 2 (or NBA 2K or FIFA for that matter)
FFXIII must be in Smash Ultimate! It deserves a second chance!
Oops thought it was favorite fan made games
Driblee for smash
Celeste better appear!
Love nintendo.
Zelda BotW and Smash bros
2018
Oh Right I forgot BotW is of 2017😅

????
Ok
@DueMagician921 yea i said the first time i played it i became a fan not that i have it
@DueMagician921 no i was talking about the game of the year
There is an alarming lack of Monster Hunter in this podcast. :'(
so what happened to josé otero? wasn't nintendo gonna use him for something? i'd think he would do a show exactly like this.
Treehouse
Live love Nintendo❤
better than game awards
Smash won GOTY man nobody saw that coming
Nintendo!
Undertale wasn't a soundtrack nominee? Oof
K
They didn't have stardew valley in the list of most relaxing game.
Just a idea can you make a game called Nintendo generations with 1980 mario and 2018 mario so they go through old and new levels
Hi
I had a feeling the dkTF would win over Okami. I beat dkTF and beat Okami in Wii working on beating Okami HD on switch. I love it better than the Wii version. .touch screen is great and on the go.
Love starlink.
