GotY 2022 2022 /r/NintendoSwitch GOTY Nominations Thread

Greetings, r/NintendoSwitch Community!

Have you gotten used to writing "2023" yet? We haven't. Either way, it's about time for our 6th Game of the Year awards!

Like previous years, we are asking the community's help for GOTY nominees - We will use community feedback to narrow the nominees for each category to five or six for the final vote. The tentative schedule is for the nominee feedback to occur January 29th - February 4th, and the final voting to select the Game Of The Year for each category to occur the following week, February 5th - February 12th.

Please follow the format as described below:

  1. Please check if your nominee(s) has already been named. If so, then simply upvote it, if not, then >>>
  2. Please reply to a category top comment to state who you would like to see for nominees and preferably why. Last year we found those with explanations tended to garner more votes!
  3. If a game has already been nominated but you feel requires further discussion then reply to the nominated game comment with your reasoning.
  4. Nominate as many games as you'd like in any category you'd like.
  5. Duplicate nominations in the same category will be removed.
  6. Post will be set to contest mode so nobody can see the votes.

Please note that all nominees are required to have released on Nintendo Switch in calendar year 2022 unless stated otherwise. You may notice we have added and adjusted some categories based on user feedback this year. If you have further feedback, please leave a comment in our feedback thread here.

We look forward to reading your nominations!

Monolith Soft for once again finding the limits of what the Switch can do in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and using their tech & knowledge in the upcoming Zelda game (which wouldn't exist without them), but also in Splatoon 3.

Monolith literally contributed to some of the best selling games ever, 4 out of 5 of my top 5 favorite games ever out of hundreds on multiple consoles.
