Now that the official DualShockers GOTY 2020 results have been published, we Weebs/Otaku/Nerds/Whatever appellation floats your Nice Boat, still have one more battlefield we must face, a Saimoe to decide the Best Girl and Best Boy of 2020 in Japanese games.

The Nintendo Switch is the most popular console on the market.

Hades will certainly scoop up a few “game of the year” awards in 2020. Supergiant Games’ Greek mythology-based roguelike has been both a critical and commercial juggernaut since it launched on PC and Nintendo Switch earlier this year.

For 2015 there was Undertale, in 2018 there was
It’s unsurprising that Hades is up for the Game of the Year 2020 awards that’s happening this Friday hosted by Geoff Keighley.
