Nomination Rules
1) Nominate up to 10 games released in North America in 2021.
2) Remakes are fine, ports and most remasters not so much. Examples: Pokmon Shining Pearl/Brilliant Diamond are good to go, as is Nier Replicant (the 2010 Nier was Nier Gestalt). Skyward Sword and Super Mario 3D World, not so much.
3) Points will be determined by how many you nominate. If you nominate 10 games, your #1 is worth 10 points. If you nominate only 5, your #1 is worth 5 points, and so on.

In the next post will be a small sample of games released in 2021, but do not hesitate to list something that's not on here just as long as it was a legit 2021 release and not just a port of an older game.
