I haven't played New Super Mario Bros. Wii yet so I can't comment on it, but I can't think of a single other Wii game released this year that deserves to be up for game of the year among the likes of Uncharted 2 or L4D2 (haven't played the other three yet, but from what I've heard of them they probably deserve to be contenders as well even if they aren't the best choices).

And to be fair, as much as Demon's Souls may be an amazing game (I'll decide for myself come Christmas) it is a very niche title. It might not be right that it didn't get a nod, but I understand why it didn't, and there was no chance it would win anyway.
