It was super close. Two games were almost even, two of Nintendo's most honored franchises, even though one of them is kind of sucky and has almost no content. Nyaa The votes have been counted, the results are in and the VG Press GOTY for 2014 is....

Just to compare, the RoF GOTY is Dark Souls 2. This is their top 10.

1. Dark Souls 2 - 41 Points. Did not get a #1 vote on any lists, but it did get 6 mentions. By Far the most.<br />
2. Transistor – 31 Points. 2 #1 Votes. Greatest PS4 Exclusive of 2014*. Greatest Exclusive of 2014.<br />
3. Sunset Overdrive - 27 Points. 2 #1 Votes.<br />
4. Shadow of Mordor - 25 Points. Could’ve been #2 on the list if Grammaton had bothered to vote.<br />
5. Super Smash Brothers – 24 Points. 1 #1 Vote.<br />
6. Heartstone – 21 Points. – 2 #1 Votes.<br />
6. Dragon Age Inquisition – 21 Points.<br />
7. Bayonetta 2 – 19 Points. 1 #1 Vote.<br />
8. Diablo 3 Ultimate Edition - 19 Points.<br />
8. The Banner Saga - 19 Points<br />

9. FTL Advanced Edition - 17 Points. 1 #1 Vote.<br />

At least MK is not on that list. Nyaa

I didn't vote for Darks Souls 2 because I opted not to play it yet and wait for the Xbox One version otherwise it would have been on my list, I love those games.

Captain Toad took votes away from Mario Kart that's the only reason Smash is higher than kart.

Yay! Hyrule Warriors made the top 10. Had I voted later it probably would have been a top 5 game for me.

There's a lot of games on the RoF list that I just haven't played yet. My list would have been radically different if I did.  It's a shame I can't play all releases before making my list.

I love you Captain Toad! It would have been 1 point difference though, not enough to change the vote.

GG what the hell is an art of balance U?

HD version with some new stuff, of the Wii game Art of Balance, cool physics based puzzle game by Shinen. You balance different shaped blocks on top of eachother.

Although some of us were in a somewhat heated debate concerning the coveted 'Game of the Year' awards here at The VG Press, I would like to formally congratulate the fan(s) of Mario Kart 8. Your game put in a great showing and almost took it in the end. Considering how great Smash Bros. is, it is quite an honor and distinction for Kart to have come so close. So, in all seriousness, a heartfealt and serious, good-sportsmanship 'CONGRATULATIONS!' to you! No hard feelings, I assume?
