Par rifraff - Le 25/06/2014 à 00:54

Comme chaque année après l'E3, la presse US décerne ses prix et sacre le(s) meilleur(s) jeu(x) du salon. Parmi les juges, on retrouve des sites et des publications anglo-saxonnes prestigieuses comme IGN, Game Informer, Wired, Joystick, Destructoïd, GameSpot ou encore Spike Tv. Mais pour que votre petit coup de cœur du salon ait une chance de voir sa jaquette ornée d'un joli macaron "Best of E3 2014", encore faut-il qu'il ait été sélectionné pour faire partie des nommés.

Comme on le voit (et comme on s'en doutait) les titres des consoles Nintendo ne sont pas nombreux et surtout absents de la catégorie "Best of Show". Pourtant,  il semble évident que c'est bien Nintendo qui cette année a fait le show à l'E3. Mais bon ce n'est pas la première fois qu'on note un vrai fossé entre ce que rapporte la presse spécialisée et ce que pense le public. En même temps, il est vrai aussi que Nintendo  apparaît désormais plus marginalisé que jamais et la firme paye aussi  le prix de ses choix et de ses erreurs. Cependant, Splatoon et Super Smash Bros peuvent facilement encore se distinguer et recevoir un prix dans leurs catégories respectives. En revanche, ce n'est pas le cas de Project Guard, de Xenoblade Chronicles X, d'Hyrule Warriors  ou encore de Bayonetta 2 qui n'ont pas été sélectionné et ont eu peut-être du mal à impacter l'imaginaire des journalistes à côté de titres comme Evolve ou Batman: Arkham Knight,  spectaculaires en diable.  

Pour remettre les choses à leur place, rappelons tout de même que l'année dernière le grand gagnant des Games Critics Awards 2013 était Titanfall. Pour savoir qui sera sacré "jeu du salon en 2014" par la presse US, il faudra attendre la publication des résultats  le 1er juillet 2014.
