Afgelopen nacht werden The Game Awards uitgereikt. De beste games van het afgelopen jaar kregen de kans om gekozen te worden tot de beste in verschillende categorieën. Hoewel Nintendo meerdere keren is genomineerd hebben ze maar één prijs gewonnen. Metroid Dread is namelijk verkozen tot de beste Action/Adventure game van de afgelopen twaalf maanden.
