Voting is now open for the Best Console Game category at the 2026 Golden Joystick Awards. Two Nintendo-related titles, Fire Emblem: Threads of Fate and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, have made the shortlist, with voting closing on Friday, October 23.
There are ten titles on the shortlist. Fire Emblem: Threads of Fate and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are both available on Switch 2, and players can visit the Golden Joystick Awards official website to vote for their preferred title.
Other candidates explicitly listed include LEGO Batman: The Dark Knight Legacy, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and Resident Evil 9: Requiem. The current page text does not fully present all ten nominated titles; the complete list should be verified on the awards' official website.
Related source headlines also mention Pokémon: Pocopia and "Game of the Year," but the article specifies the award as "Best Console Game," and the explicitly listed Nintendo-related titles do not fully align with the headline. There is currently insufficient information to confirm whether Pokémon: Pocopia is nominated for this award.
