Pretty much this. I shy away from giving out awards because while loads of fun, they can create unnecessary feelings of jealousy between members, among other problems.

Even if people promise not to take offense to not getting an award, that doesn't stop them from building up feelings of resent inside - possibly even subconsciously. While they may never say anything about it - or even be aware of it - this inner resent for not getting an award may affect their perception of the community for the worse. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid, but I think none of us can really predict what the after effects of an awards ceremony could potentially be.

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Leaves won’t be the only things turning gold this fall as Nintendo prepares to launch an extraordinary lineup of games for its Wii™, Nintendo 3DS™ and Nintendo DS™ game systems. At a recent meeting of GameStop retail store managers from across the United States, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing Scott Moffitt revealed new details about upcoming Skyward Sword:

A special limited-edition The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword bundle containing the game and a gold* Wii Remote™ Plus controller will be available when the game launches on Nov. 20.

Also for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, every copy in the initial production of the game will come packaged with a special music CD featuring orchestral arrangements of select songs that will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert.

The limited-edition gold controller bundle for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be offered at a suggested retail price of $69.99. The game will also be sold separately at a suggested retail price of $49.99, though the gold controller will only be available as part of the special bundle. As an additional 25th anniversary treat for fans who purchase the game early, every copy in the initial production, whether sold by itself or as a part of the limited-edition bundle, will come with a free CD featuring select orchestral arrangements of iconic music spanning the history of the franchise which will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert performances in October 2011.

*Note that the gold controller will simply be gold in color and will not contain any actual precious metals. Sorry.

Side Note: DON'T GET A SEPERATE WII MOTION PLUS FOR THIS!!! This way is actually cheaper. Even with pre-owned. Weird.

I hope I can get the bundle as my preorder (I've had it preordered since late 2009 or early 2010.)

This is Zelda we're talking about. I'd jump off the side of a building if it meant getting this game.

I was not sure if I was going to get this game due to other games being released this year but now that it comes with a CD and paying an extra twenty dollars to get a unique remote I think I will be getting this on release day.

Wait a second. WHY NO GOLD NUNCHUCK!?!?!

Or maybe because you have headphones on. Sometimes, people mistake me for being younger when I wear those types of big bulky headphones

I vote Skyward Sword.
I vote Mario Kart Wii.
