Time to give out the honors. Nobody knows last year's winners except for me. Let's get 2005 out of the way first:

 

2005-

Best game: Mario Kart DS

2nd Best game: Polarium

Best "retro" game (tie): Retro Atari Classics & Puyo Pop Fever

Biggest surprise: Space Invaders Revolution

Biggest disappointment: Pac-Pix

Best Use of Touch screen: Wario Ware: Touched! (narrowly beating out Trauma Center)

 

Now here's the 2006 ones:

Best Game: New Super Mario Bros. (how could this *not* win? )

2nd Best Game: Kirby: Squeak Squad (narrowly beating out Super Princess Peach)

best "retro" game: Tetris DS

Best title $20 and under: Break 'Em All

Best use of touch screen: Cooking Mama

 

I'm looking forward to 2007 for many reasons. #1: Will this be the last year that GBA games will be released? #2: Just how big will the hype be for the DS Zelda game? #3: Will this be the year that Diddy Kong Racing and Intellivision Lives! finally get released for the DS? We'll just have to wait & see.
