Mario Kart DS gets 6 Golden Joystick nominations

Ahhh, the Nintendo DS. It's going from strength to strength these days outselling the PSP in most regions. It's the fastest selling console ever in Japan, with massive selling games and now, as if to confirm what we already knew, loads of nominations in the Golden Joystick Awards 2006.

Mario Kart DS leads the way with 6 nominations in all, including Handheld Game of the Year, Nuts All-Nighter Award, Nintendo Game of the Year and Online Game of the Year. Other DS titles are well represented as well including Animal Crossing: Wild World, New Super Mario Bros., Metroid Prime: Hunters and Nintendogs amongst others.

The awards were first held in 1982, when Atari, Commodore and Spectrum vied for the gaming top spot. Promising to be bigger than ever, the Golden Joystick Awards 2006 will feature 17 award categories and are the only UK gaming awards to be voted for by those who matter – gamers themselves!

The final results of the Golden Joystick Awards will be unveiled on Friday, 27th October 2006.
