It's really, really good stuff, and there's an obvious audience for it even beyond Nintendo; the Switch stands a great chance to overtake the PlayStation Vita as the
handheld of choice for the indies - loving
gamer... although it's not like the Vita ever found a large audience.
Accolades for the franchise include PlayStation: The Official Magazine (Editor's
Choice Award),
Game Informer (Action / Adventure
Game of the Year and
Handheld Game of the Month Award), Electronic Gaming Monthly (Best PS2
Game), IGN.com (Editor's
Choice Award and
Game of the Year Award), and four nominations in the Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, including Overall
Game of the Year and Console
Game of the Year.
Part
of the appeal
of the Nintendo Switch is its ability to shift from console to
handheld experiences instantly, and if enough third - party developers make
games for the system, it could essentially overthrow the necessity
of buying other platforms; the Switch could stand as the

The nomination ballot and further details about the
Choice Awards are now available online, with the categories this year including Best Audio, Best
Game Design, Best Technology, Best Visual Arts, Best Writing, Best Debut
Game, Best Downloadable
Game, Best
Handheld Game, Innovation, and
Game of the Year.

handheld first and foremost, the
choice may not come as too much
of a surprise - although we have heard the suggestion Nintendo recommends a 32 GB cartridge, which is small when considering the size
of many modern
games.
The first one, the aptly titled
Game Developers
Choice Awards, celebrated the best
of 2016's mainstream hits.Blizzard and its multiplayer shooter Overwatch wound up capturing the objective «
Game of the Year» and «Best Design» awards...... Niantic's Pokemon Go took the «Best Mobile /
Handheld Game» category (along with, I presume, the «most likely to cause a bigger riot than Black Friday over an electric rat» award)...... Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End got away with the award for «Best Technology» - after all, that Crash gameplay looked amazing!
