I do think SNES and N64 should be separate categories.

I was wondering about that myself. Why are SNES and N64 collated into one? And why precisely those two platforms. It's about as arbitrary of a pairing as it could possibly get. (Ok, both are Nintendo consoles, but aside from that...)

It was a one-time thing that took place in 2010, but there's no need for that now, is there?

Ok, there are 6 N64 publications in 2010, which is a bit low. Well, 5 if you don't count the OoT run that was obsoleted in the same year. The question is, thus, if 5 runs is enough for a fair "competition" for the award.

Since there are at least two strong runs that can compete for the prize, it's already fair. The previous year Banjo Kazooie would have effectively been competing with itself.

That's a fair point. Also it might not be fair that the few N64 runs have to compete against a plentiful of SNES runs for the award...
