Thanks to jph for posting these results. Normally, Nintendo Power and I don't always see eye to eye on their DS reviews, but I have to admit, grudgingly, that I can't complain too much with their award choices for 2008. I would have given Game of the Year to The World Ends With You, but Kirby would be in my top 3, so, not too bad. They were dead-on with their awards for Best Puzzle, Best Graphics, Best Rpg, Best Story/Writing and Best Rythm Game. The only other change I would make is on the Best New Character Award. Personally, you could choose any one of 3 or 4 characters from TWEWY as the winner in this category. Shade from Sonic Chronicles was ok, but not the best imo. But overall, not bad NP.
