Xenoblade 3 and the whole franchise are masterpieces and Monolith deservers all the praise and much more. There are still too many people sleeping on this franchise, buy it guys!

I'm so happy that Xenoblade is getting more popular and more people are playing it, I can't believe that we almost never got the first game in the west, that really shows how much the series has grown over the years and I hope it keeps growing

Kirby, Triangle Strategy, and Splatoon 3 are among my favorite releases for this year but Xenoblade 3 is definitely my #1 pick. I've put over 200 hours into that game and I'm still going back to it 😂 can't wait for the next wave of DLC!

I like the NES & SNES styled transition for the music at the beginning!

By far my top release this year was Splatoon 3. Been heavily waiting for the game since it was announced and I'm definitely enjoying it.

Wierd way to spell Xenobalde 3. Not only is this the best game of the switch this year, without Monolith Sof support, and the release date swap between this two, to help Splatoon 3, Splatoon 3 would be even less remarkable.

As a musician who spends months analysing games, I can confirm, xenoblade chronicles is actually a good franchise - don’t let the character models turn you away, because the payoff is so worth it. The criteria of what makes a game alive is very similar to even Elden ring, the only thing I found Elden ring being better at is the gameplay, that’s it! The game of the year isn’t that much further from there. And as a person who loves god of war, xenoblade deserved that music award, while the god of war sountrack has some pretty good songs, the whole soundtrack in xenoblade is an incredible experience. In conclusion: please, buy a xenoblade game (i recommend starting with 1, but you can start anywhere.) (I started on 2)

As per usual Xenoblade and Splatoon fans ruin everything when Kirby and the Forgotten Land really deserved to be in more of these categories and win them. No Kirby Dream Buffet in the multiplayer running is also an L. Think I'm starting to develope an unhealthy bias against Xenoblade Chronicles 3 now. Mad respect to the guy at the end who said Kirby and the Forgotten Land would be his personal pick and ew to the guy who said Scarlet&Violet.

So mayve try to play it? Bias agaist, do you even know agaist which company are you talking about? Let me remind you that monolith soft is a pillar of moderb nintendo. They support Zelda, Smash, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, all while keeping the critically accalimed Xenoblade, that has built a gigantic universe lore with multi spam years, gorgeous worlds that cannot be found anywhere else, best OST there is and incredibly deep combat. Hold your tongue before talking about Xenoblade and Monolith Soft. They cemented themselves and the best studio working for nintendo and deserve every praise they get and more (unlike Gamefreak, who cemented themselves as worst) As for Kirby, it is a great game, yes, and is a lock for best family, and I give you that it beats Splatoon 3 when it comes to maij campain, so there is that. But it is no Xenoblade 3.
