Evidently the Japanese rewards season starts late. While all the American gaming publications practically announce their game of the year awards before the year is over, Famitsu, Japan's foremost gaming magazine, wait s almost a full four months to release their winners. Wait, you mean they give those end of year games a chance to percolate and actually get played through possibly more then once? This makes absolutely no sense at all! Awards should be handed out as near as possible to the holiday seasons so that judgments are made entirely on pre-release hype.
So after giving the games all this time to actually be played, what have they come up with? Well there is a hell of a lot more Nintendo love on the list. How about Wii Music getting an award for greatest innovation? Not many Westerners are going to agree with that one. I can't read moonspeak, but I'm guessing these awards only go out to Japanese game developers, since there is a World-wide Award that went to Grand Theft Auto. That would explain a lot of the missing big name games on the list. Then again Japan has very different gaming habits than America does so it could just be they love these games more.

That's a genre now?
Also, The Last Remnant won something? All respect is lost.
And since when do puzzle games and adventure games get lumped into the same category? Japanese awards are very odd.
Tales of Vesperia
:d
Wii Music
Really? Little Big Planet lost against fucking WiiMusic? What the hell?
Also, how the hell can Wii Music outperform LittleBigPlanet and Mirror's Edge?
And Tales of Vesperia winning the best RGP of the year is such crock.
Hey Japan, there are these games called Valkyria Chronicles, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect.
How the hell do Adventure & Puzzle get lumped into a single category? Where's Braid? Professor Fucking Layton?
last Reminant is the straw that broke the camels back. Hey Japan!!! There are other developers besides Japan. They're called Korea, United States, Canada, UK and the EU along with Russia. You might have heard of them?
I guess the only way to win Famitsu is to be Japanese. GTA IV is basically a token award.
Now its become the Nintendo handjob rag.
I mean any magazine that gives Nintendogs a perfect score, putting it up there with things like Vagrant Story and Ocarina of time has lost all credibility in my eyes.
Of course the winners are Japanese. Because the big games in Japan are Japanese, a lot of games that aren't even released yet. If I remember correctly, Mass Effect is only finally coming out in Japan next month. MAY. Did Fallout 3 or Braid even get released there yet? Or LBP or Mirror's Edge? If they did, consider the fact that these are Western games that often don't sell very well over there, just like Japanese games don't really sell well here outside the JRPG/Anime fans. These are JAPANESE awards released for games released in JAPAN.
Just thought some of you might consider that.
Other than that, mock these all you want.
Or am I just overmad at them for disappointing me with Resident Evil V?

I'm thinking text heavy RPGs particularly; a little something is always lost in the translation.
Metal Gear Solid, easily won that High Quality award. Snake for Character of Year, obviously! I could go on but seriously all those games are amazing so I dunno what you lot are on about complaining.
The only ones I wouldn't agree with are, Innovation Grand-Prize (don't know any innovative 2008 games to be honest, someone help me out?) and Communication Prize.
Not to be nit-picky but Prize is spelt wrong on the Innovative one, just noticed when copy pasting prize.
happy birthday greetings
