The choices for best video game for the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards are all Nintendo games. The nominees are Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, and Wii Sports Resort.
WTF?! Where is the Uncharted 2 or Batman? Come on! And didn't Mario Kart come out in 2008? They should give other games a chance at winning this most prestigious award.
Nickelodeon is biased towards Nintendo
Also, Uncharted 2 and Arkham Asylum are awesome games and only T-rated, but maybe some dumb family values groups don't know that (or they think the game is "too violent" regardless). Nickelodeon probably doesn't want to piss them off.
Dude, Arkham Asylum and Uncharted 2 only have Teen ratings, but those are not games that are going to be promoted on Nickelodeon! I'm not surprised Nintendo got all the awards. I imagine it would be inappropriate to show footage of Nathan Drake shooting people on a show 8 year old boys and girls might watch.
Well this is probably geared towards kids 5 - 12, you know kids that parents don't want to spend the money on a Xbox 360 or a PS3.... My cousin is one of these parents lol
" Kids Choice Awards don't really matter. "I'm sure the Uncharted 2 GOTY edition box-art would disagree. It's just asking for a "Kids Choice" emblem to be slapped on there!

Its post 2001 nickelodeon my friend, what more could you expect besides the crap teen reality shows.
" @ArbitraryWater said:There were a lot of terrible NES games. For every Super Mario Bros, I'm sure you owned and enjoyed an "Angry Video Game Nerd" Caliber title. I personally had plenty of terrible N64 and Gamecube games, and the only games my brother (age 10) plays are Modern Warfare 2 (usually 1v1 splitscreen with a friend) and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (which he has beaten like 5 times)." Uh huh. And you care... why? Everyone knows kids have terrible taste in games. I certainly did. "i grew up with the good stuff, nes and all that "
Well, they can't be nominating games that are over the rating E10+. A lot of kids watching this show probably couldn't get those games at their age.
But you do have a good argument that Nickelodeon is biased towards Nintendo. They've had Nintendo ads all around the site, so you could guess that Nintendo was involved.
But come on, Mario Kart Wii? That came out in 2008! This is 2010! You'd think they could get more recent good games than that!
" @Ryax: No need to take my comment personally. I'm just not much into reward shows, like the Grammy's. Of course, I don't really know if all you said was sarcasm.i was joking

I miss the old nick. All That, Kennan and Kell, Rugrats, and Rockos Modern Life. Man those were the good days.
I guess,
Key word: Kids.
I just find it sad, that within 2 years, I went from a Nintendo fanboy to a neutral entity. Their decline is just awful. N64 was the last great console they made, and the GCN redeemed itself after my PS2 spontaneously combusted. But this generation...ugh.
I agree OP. WHY ISNT GOD OF WAR III ON THERE!?!?!? WHERES Dante's Inferno?! Those were great games that im sure nick would want to be on their award show.
aw come on if they dont want to show shooting to kids then just put god of war 3 up there and no more heros 2.
Well, back in the 90s at least, I don't have a clue what they're like now.
" @Tireyo643 said:LMAO!" Kids Choice Awards don't really matter. "uuuuum, yes they do. "
"And for this year's kid's choice award Game of the Year - Modern Warfare 2."
Audience begins to clap slowly, camera pans to machine guns ripping holes into innocent bystanders.
Given the remainder of the choices, those aren't too bad at all. What's bad is that people are still trying to decide on last year's best moments. We're nearly half-way through 2010, might as well just do this year's GotY.
" Cartoon Network > Nickelodeon Well, back in the 90s at least, I don't have a clue what they're like now. "That channel at least still has some weird shit.
" WTF...Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit are like the same game with a few additions. "No one is a fitness game and the other is a collection of sports minigames.
