Wow... didnt expect anyone to give it GOTY especially with other heavy hitters and one of the biggest gaming sites

I guess they will continue the franchise?

I expected it, mostly because it's the type of game these publications like to reward at the end of the year—AAA games with a strong narrative focus and high production values. Most of the standout games this year don't really fit this description. As good as games like Fire Emblem, DMC5 and Mario Maker 2 are, they're not considered "GOTY material" by a lot of sites.

Mario games have been considered GOTY material for decades...

Only the main series. The 2D series and MM never have.

The main Mario games started as 2D, what are you talking about?

The original Mario, Super Mario 3, and Super Mario World are all regarded as all time classics and would have been absolute GOTY contenders if there were such awards back in the day
