I love Bomberman and hope this gives him a slight chance to make it into the inevitable Smash Bros Switch now! While not prominently featured in the big presentation, it’s still great to see him again and the game is looking pretty fun too!

Game of the Year 2016 – Pokemon Sun/Moon
Monday, January 9th, 2017
While not a banner year for gaming of all kinds, and certainly not a banner year for the world at large with celebrity deaths, political and social upheaval and the murder of an innocent gorilla, 2016 did have a few gaming gems to keep us occupied in our respective disaster shelters. Many games that were cultural phenomena this year like Overwatch, the new Doom, and Uncharted 4 were technically derivative of games from years past, but their new features, graphics, gameplay tweaks and characters helped them elevate gaming as a whole to new heights. The same is especially true for our 2016 Game(s) of the Year, Pokemon Sun/Moon.
