iOS + Android + 3DS ...

Good grief, look at the time! A year has passed by in a flash and the Golden Joystick Awards is almost upon us again. Obviously there's a cracking selection of games but we're just going to look at the handheld stuff, including Nintendo Switch/3DS.

The competition is certainly stiff this year as you'll see in a moment. From RPGs, puzzlers, adventures, and emotional stories, we've had a pretty good year in portable gaming so far.

Don't forget, the results aren't in just yet. You've still got a week until November 3rd to vote for your absolute favourites. So, without further ado:
