I am both thrilled and anxious over this news...
Thrilled, because WOW, what a great accolade for Uranium (especially if it winds up winning), and heaven only knows it's good enough to deserve it. Like @Clueless, I have to constantly remind myself that this is a
fan-created game, not the product of a sophisticated gaming company that's been around for years. It's incredible the quality of this game and how compelling the story is... it's just a shame my poor little Nucleon will never be a "real" Eeveelution (except in my heart!)
Anxious, because this will likely bring some renewed interest in the game. While that would be great as far as expanding the community, I worry about the possibility of Nintendo releasing "Banhammer: The Sequel" on us...

... Although, the nomination (and win, if Uranium is so lucky!) would definitely be a fun little gesture to the lawyers.
Couldn't help but notice that Sun/Moon was notoriously absent from the "Most Anticipated Game" category...!
