This is basically “Nintendo only” Game Awards, and this was something I enjoyed
and no last of us 2 bias to ruin it.
Sad no pikmin though but at least we got more Nintendo stuff.
@@WednesdayMan the last of us lart II was good,fight me
(But definitely not all the 7 awards good)
That and wouldn't be anything else since it is Nintendo Power, their official gaming magazine that's existed since the 80's...it's literally just Nintendo games exclusively so no worries of any bs woke games stealing the show here.😎
@S C More like SJW's, some I'm sure are older people but no doubt those SJW "journalists" alot of them from what I've seen are women too but gender aside it sucks how these people have a say more than the gamers themselves.
Age of Calamity definitely had a good story, but I feel like Xenoblade had the much better story, even being a huge Zelda fan.
Agree
I'm absolutely shocked that HW surpassed XC1DE in the votes for Great Story. This is DUMB, voters obviously didn't play XC1
@@KrullerAX exactly. It all depends on which one’s more popular. Xenoblade has one of the best stories in anything, ever.
I fell like Nintendo just doesn’t care about Xenoblade as a franchise enough. It’s not advertised anywhere near as it should be considering how good the games are.
Though the music to me was... wow! I was literally like for the super soundtrack award, “If you don’t choose Age of Calamity I will throw this freakin phone out the window!” Seems dramatic, but that just me.
Xenoblade Chronicles not winning What A Story is criminal, as is Hades not winning Tough Challenge
Agreed
but hyrule warriors has a really good story too tbh never played or saw xenoblade soo i cant really say which is better
@@lourencoesteves3556 trust me, Xenoblade has a better story by miles
@@dimitriosgladio059 people have diferent likes and hyrule warriors probably won because its basically a prequel to one of the best games of the switch but yeah i believe xenoblade have a better story
@@lourencoesteves3556 Prequel for another timeline
I joined the Switch club this year! Got my Switch about a week ago :D
welcome to the club man! there are a variety of games waiting for you here I hope you will enjoy a whole new generation of Nintendo
Yay! Good for u! Hope you enjoy it! What game do you have right now?
Welcome to slaty spittoon how tough are ya?
Dope! What games have you guys been playing ?
MashaAllah 😇
The version of The Game Awards 2020 that doesn't suck. ^^
Good to see that Bobby almost won over Mario with a 1% difference, he was such a well written character, I really hope to see more characters like that on future Mario games!
Unfortunately Bobby can’t come back because he is dead.
Bobby was great character.
Origami King is the best game of 2020.
Yeah no
I agree, Origami King is one of my favorite games of all time.
There's a pretty clear Nintendo bias in the fan votes here which is fine, but I HIGHLY doubt that Age of Calamity has a better story than Hades or Xenoblade, which are both master classes in storytelling.
I agree with xenobalde, but I really don't think Hades has a legit story.
Yep..I preferZelda over both of them but the fact that an old story with just added spices won over an original story is kind of funny and unreal lol
@@user-eg4qf8ew6n it definitely does. It's just told in bits and pieces over multiple runs. It was nominated for a reason
@@Breezeezee Do you think binding of Issac has a real story?
@@user-eg4qf8ew6n technically every game has a story, even Tetris. But I would say no, Isaac does not have a strong narrative.
Isaac and Hades are completely incomparable on a story level. Have you actually played Hades?
What. Its a crime that Xenoblade didnt won best story here
it wasnt even nominated for most of the categories it deserved here-
Finally an award show where The Last of Us 2 was not nominated!
True Shigeru
Bruh Shigeru I thought u couldn't speak English LoL 😂😂
@@japanesespiderman6037 I can only speak Japanese. But i can also speak french sometimes
Oh Ok didn't know
Thanks for time stamps!
True.
I heavily disagree on the story one. Even though Zelda is my favorite video game series by far, Xenoblade deserved that one.
And soundtrack too, look I like ACNH but the sound track is not as good as old ones
A huge Zelda nerd too here and have never seen or played or even heard of the gameplay of a Xenoblade game but from what I heard from the fans and from my experience with HW:AOC..Xenoblade deserves it more even thou I don’t know it lol
@@user-ti6us2br4x I highly recommend it. It’s not too overly anime or anything, it’s just a really fun game with a really great story and characters and an interesting battle system that’s sort of like a real time RPG deal. I know it looks kinda intimidating to get into, but it really isn’t. The hours will sail by.
@@dachking6657 so the battle system is similar to children of Mana’s?
I always planned getting into so no worries (altho I heard 2 is kinda bad)
@@user-ti6us2br4x Battle system is more akin to Dragon Age Origins, kind of MMO-esque but singleplayer. It has some cool mechanics that spice it up.
Xenoblade 2 is actually really good. It's a bit slower to start and the battle system takes time to really come into its own but once it gets going it's got a lot going for it, even beats the original in certain ways. But it does have more comedy in it so that's going to be a pretty subjective element. The standalone expansion story for 2, Torna the Golden Country, is really polished though and kinda smooths a lot of 2's rough edges and has a more balanced tone.
Both games are great, even if 1 is now pretty conclusively the better game with Definitive Edition smoothing out rough edges and adding some quality extra content.
Xenoblade should've at least won story!
I agree, disappointed that it wasn’t
Xenoblade not winning best story and best soundtrack is a joke.
100%
All Stars: Super Mario, this is your life.
Didn't know Mario was returning to TV after the cartoon series.
Age of Calamity winning Super Soundtrack and What a Story! is what I needed to hear.
Xenoblade is my favorite Nintendo game period. Kinda disappointed it didn’t get best story.
Straight robbed considering it's one of the greatest rpgs of all time.
@@badlatency9979 yep, definitely on my top 3 favorite
What a story is absolutely rigged. Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity was really good, but THERE IS NO WAY THAT IT BEATS XENOBLADE DEFINITIVE EDITION! XENOBLADE IS ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL AND TO SAY THAT AGE OF CALAMITY BEATS IT IS A CRIME IN ITSELF!!!
I agree
Agreed, Xenoblade has an absolutely groundbreaking story
Oh I thought this was “fan favorite games” not just “fan favorite”.
I saw you in 3 videos that had you’re comment
This is 4th time
@@japhreal lol I saw you too Japh
jk
Xenoblade not winning story is pretty sad, but not even being nominated for soundtrack? That's an outright travesty, it has one of the top ten best soundtracks of the last ten years much less just this one.
Bobby is something mario fan didn't experience before. Nintendo NEVER kills off a character that has a great impact to the story. He's role is very simple in every mario game, but Nintendo decided to make what they usually do, to a sacrifice. I mean ofcause Mario deserves it, I just want to appreciate that Nintendo put such an amazing element to Mario's adventure.
i also love how his death set up the scene where Olivia mistakes the other bob ombs for bobby, and they say they just want to make an impact. And then you shoot a ton of bob ombs at a ship. Pretty dark stuff…
@@spoon7053 at that point, you don't wanted to mention bob-omb anymore
Ahem baby luma
@@Chaos_867 Baby Luna bearly talks to you, so it doesn't bring as much emotions as Bobby. He is like a friend, but baby Luna, the fuld pack, feels more like a tool. So their death is not as emotional as bobby
Recently picked up 3D All Stars for the Nintendo Switch and I'm gonna play the living spirits out of all three titles
How was fishing/catching bugs not a nominee for ACNH activity?
Fan-favorite games revealed? We already know what our favorites are!

24:50 Ah yes "Most most music super soundtrack music"
🙃
Hheeh
I just picked up my Luigi Mario kart live racer and I can’t wait to tear it up on the course
Hades is everywhere i have to try it :D
I heard its real good.
Wanted to get it on Switch, but sadly seeing how with regional pricing (I'm Rus) Hades costs 6 bucks without any sales on Steam compared to 25 usd on E-Shop, I'd pass. I don't want to pay extra 20 bucks for an abbility to play it in my bed or somesuch.
Animal Crossing and Mario 3D All-Stars ❤️
3D All Stars sucked
@@linkthepig4219 And that’s gonna change everyone’s opinions how?
@@epicboyo4883
He said it was good and it wasn't. Not even trying to change anyone's opinion, just expressing my own. Why would you assume imtrying to change people's views?
@@epicboyo4883 I mean, it kinda did. No shame to those who liked the game, but to me $60 for 3 pretty easily emulatable games that mostly control like garbage on the switch (ironically, I think sunshine is the best controlling game in the pack) isn’t worth it, especially a limited release.
@@linkthepig4219 I never played any of the mario games so it was like a second chance in one go to get to play 3 games I'll get galaxy 2 for my Wii U
My favorite switch game is Mario
If I would picked it I would put origami king as one of the fan favorite games
Waw, is Owen Wilson the podcast's special guest ? 😉
Can't wait to see the thoughest and coolest character
Cool character: 36:25
I think the last campfire 🔥 is very under appreciated it was amazing
The structure of this was much better than the game awards, because you actually spend time talking about each category and the games in it. There's a pretty clear Nintendo bias in the voting but I mean what did I expect 🤷
the real game awards.
I thought the title was "favorite fan games"
Christ above.
Same
Also pucci go back to dio
All of them got a dmca what did you expect?
That would be ironic
The nintendo power cast (n64 josh) needs to be more recognized, they are on episode 300, and they have a very small community, but it is a great one. Go show those guys some love for me!!
Imagine Tomodachi Life on the Switch. That would be a dream come true
Nintendo is a company that know what happiness is for people.
Thats a very incorrect statement my friend
@@ToastedSwitch2 hey man don’t dis ALL of Nintendo just for the thing the Board did
@@FireStriker3064 ik but Nintendo has not been doing itself much favors at the moment
@@Generic8864 not a melee fan thank you
Im surprised how animal crossing is just NOW getting popular... personally 8 think new leaf should have got an award back when it came out
Same here since that was my first ac game
Im surprised also especially how unfinished the game was when it was released
I have never played the game before but could somebody explain why Hyrule Warriors won the intense action? I mean, from what I have seen all you do is just slay a bunch of enemies and like they said in the podcast, you are super powerful. But I have not played the game so could somebody explain
A very large part of it is wartime strategy
@@johntp185 so like setting up attack plans on your enemies to get the best result? That sounds more strategy based than intense gameplay. But not dissing on the game of course, I’m just confused
I'm surprised that Nintendo actually mentions the word "Fan"
Sorry did not vote but l would love if a Zelda game came out but I love Zelda and I am 9 and l love it so much you guys expired me so I want to be a video maker and l love ❤️ it pls tell us the date of botw 2 plsssssss nintendo yesss age of calamity won yesssssssssssssss love Zelda
Pls reply
Thanks for the 👍
Wishing everybody a Happy Holidays and hope everybody's is staying safe. From Mr.Panda himself
Merry Christmas !!
Happy holidays panda!
@@TheActs2021 you as well!!☺🎅
@@tagon2381 you too buddy!!☺🎅
I just want this to be short
My favourite Nintendo game this year was Last of Us part 2 🤣
Would have been nice to see the ballot. Where and when was it?
On noa's Twitter
The timestamps are off by a bit. If someone could make more accurate timestamps, that would be very much appreciated.
Can someone make a list about all the games they talked about?
I don't why I thought it say fan games coming to switch lmao 😂😂😂 I'm blind
Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Awesome Nintendo Switch Fan-Favorite Games of 2020 Revealed! Video.
YAY I ACTUALLY COUNT IN A NINTENDO VIDEO!
This is why Nintendo is by far the best game producer.
Asmr game awards
The games I had fun playing this year were animal crossing new horizons, paper mario the origami king, super mario 3d all stars...
Nintendo Power!! I am Hype
Oh yeah I voted for this
I'm a little mad that the blank slate that is Mario won best character. He's literally one of the most bland characters that has ever existed.
At least his Paper Version showed emotions, especially in TOK
This is why I’m subbed
Less rigged than the Game Awards
It wasn’t rigged..probably just based agenda
The last of us 2 is good thou :)
(But definitely didn’t deserve all these awards)
@@user-ti6us2br4x It is a well crafted game, but the story is a mess, pacing is a mess and everyone is unlikable.
When he thanked us for voting, I was like, "Whoa, are these people getting political right now?" But then I realized what they meant... But also, thank you to those who voted. Maybe our outlook next year will be more positive than our outlook this whole year has been.
Yeesssss Age of Calamity

Nah
Hayato.
There were only like 4 Nintendo games this year 👀
TOK should have won the best OST
@Joey Ford I respect it
agreed
Are the Mario Games is in 40th Anniversary? Why?
Thanks for the spoilers!
Why i read the title as nintendo favorite fan games of 2020
How was luigi’s mansion not nominated for best graphics. Probably the best looking game on switch.
LM3 came out 2019
When earthbound
I love Nintendo but I cannot afford it 😭😭😭
would be much better production with visual
I don't play this game anymore but this looks really cool.
Nice!
Can we add botw 2 to that list soon?
Hopfully next year.
Whatever you like.
Skyward sword HD
Animal crossing doesn’t really count as multiplayer. You can just visit but not really play or progress together :(
*YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!*
Saga collection, final fantasy legend
Is my favorite game especially with speed mode with fast paced leveling up
sigh, they really messed up the youtube timing on this vid. i mean, when I was at cool character, they were already talking about Mario winning
It's sad that even Nintendo itself knows that Bobby is just a regular enemy...
as much as i think the rule about keeping characters generic is absurdly limiting, i think the fact that Bobby looks like any another bob-omb kinda fits in this scenario. They arent meant to have a long or distinguished life or appearance, but its the memories he has with Mario that make him an individual.
@@spoon7053 Actually, I quite agree with you about making Bobby look a little more generic, but at the same time it would have been better to point to details that are not related to his physical appearance: for example, imagine if Bobby would have had some sort of number next to its fuse, and which only later it would be discovered to be a "Serial Number", since it's a factory Bob-omb anyway. In this way, it would have solved the question that many people ask themselves (Why in the old Paper Mario the partner-unique Bob-Ombs exploded and came back to life, compared to the "common" ones), and it would have made the character slightly more unique.
@@mineplayer05yt4 Ah, that’s definitely a good idea!!
I SEE PIKIN
I love nintendo
No images no video? Ima head out..
Its a podcast....
hey, show us the game guys
Petition to put Galaxy 2 on switch
For sounds there wasn't a sound based game like just shapes and beats or a game with a ton of music like undertale
I thought that nitendo is not really in touch with fans...
Only wish we could have a fan favourite switch themes list...
mario party online should allow for 4 V 4 mode 1 player per mini game rota etc! ok it could just be one player with 4 controllers but meh!
U mean fan games? Those u take down?
Careful, the cringy Nintendrones are gonna call you "uGh, MELeE fAnbOy". Looks like nobody can talk about the mistake of their cringy company's wrongdoings
Why is it that Nintendo goes into sprees of uploading
Just anyone I know praises Hades acoss all the platforms and hearing "Ewwwwh ahahah Hades?" when podcaster annaunced the goty nomineees feelt rather disrespectful.
It was obvious Animal Crossing would win even if you don't know who was nominated, but that reaction was rather yikes regardless.
...Do not forget to use Your Vacation Time, sick Days' and. Paid, leave.
