I think it´s not only Nintendo..... Japanese developers in general rarely win GOTY. The only exception was Resident Evil 4 by Capcom in 2005. All other GOTY winners were western games.
I think it has a lot to do with the lack of Eastern/Japanese judges on VGA/VGX councils. They´re all American and a few are European. They will clearly have a preference for Western games. Heck. Some of them even work for websites or magazines that only talk about a single platform, like Francesca Reyes and Logan Decker.
