Why the fuck is it that Nintendo accounts for less than 10% of the gaming industry by revenue or games sold, less than 5% of major critic or industry awards, and yet at least a third to a half of every fucking gamefaqs contest tournament consists of Nintendo characters and games? The rabid NintenDrones on this site will do everything to stuff every tournament full of Nintendo characters, nominate every Pokmon from A to Z, etc.

Next contest? 4 characters/games max for Nintendo. 4 max for Capcom. 4 max for Konami. 4 max for Square. 4 max for Bethesda and so on. Then you have a real contest, not the bullshit NintenDrone bracket here.

Does this mean Tetris will get multiple pieces in to account for its share of sales? I can get behind this.

I wonder how a contest consisting of only new characters that premiered after a certain date would turn out.

That or just go all out and allow all media (Goku, Batman, etc) for a contest. Link would probably still win barring a rally but it'd be pretty wacky

Its important to note awards mean nothing and if they were correct Nintendo would win GotY literally 8 years a decade....

And to say Nintendo has less than 10% market share or revenue is insane; and you should definitely be permabanned for saying it.

Nintendo (since Switch is going to pas PS4 despite the fact its a year older in the next 6 months) has won the console battle 6 out of 8 times, including 2 of the last 3....

What the fuck drugs are you on?!!!

Are we really using critical reception as an argument against a character from a game that swept GotY last year and another game that's still the highest score ever on Metacritic?

The Switch has sold 22 million, the PS4 has sold 86 million. Gonna take a little longer than 6 months.

Also where did 6 out of 8 come from? There aren't even 8 Nintendo home consoles, and the Nintendo 64, Gamecube and Wii U all clearly lost.

Ive suggested the date cutoff idea before. Then Nintendrones would just nominate The specific incarnation of Link from BOTW etc to get around the rules, because technically every LOZ game has a different Link.

When there was a date cutoff for Game of the Decade, Nintendrones voted for Majoras Mask when OOT was too old to make the cutoff.

How many major GOTY awards will Nintendo win in 2018? Somewhere between 0...and 0?

2017 was an anomaly. Nintendo got lucky that R* delayed RDR2 to make it a better game. The last time Nintendo won most major GOTY awards in a given year was in the previous century.
