A Nintendo game won "best family game"? Get out of town! It was literally between the trio of Infinity, Dimensions, and Skylanders or "cheaply made collectible figures + a new cheaply made game every year to keep you buying the figures" games , Splatoon, and Mario Maker. If Mario Maker didn't win, Splatoon would have. No one else even actually tries to compete in this space. Nintendo won this last year with Mario Kart 8, followed by Tomodachi life, and last year's verison of the same Trio. Nintendo wins this by default.
So they won best shooter this year? They also won best fighting game and best racing/sports game last year. Does anyone actually believe that Nintendo makes the best shooters, fighters, and racing games in the world? I'd seriously doubt that. As for best multiplayer - play Rocket League. That's all I really have to say.
Other nominees for developer of the year: Bethesda, Kojima Productions. Both of which put out a single game that lacked polish. Not quite sure how this is supposed to be a huge honour. Nintendo also won this award last year, beating Blizzard, Monolith, Telltale and Ubsoft Montreal (the guys who made Assassin's Creed: Unity).
This awards show seems like a bit of a joke.

Regardless of anything u said, the poster I replied to was using the Game Awards as proof that Nintendo is irrelevant, winning 3 awards and being nominated for 5 including game of the year and developer of the year proves that he is either wrong or that the Game Awards aren't an accurate way to determine relevancy.

They really aren't. Other award shows like Emmys or Golden Globes, even Oscars aren't either.
Jane the Virgin won a Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy series. It won several other awards, such as a People's choice award that is based on people voting. Yet it's one of the least watched shows on network tv, pulling about a million viewers each week. Veep won an Emmy for comedy of the year and it's ratings have always been bad. I could go on with more examples, but there is no point. Award shows can't determine relevancy.
Also, bookmarking this thread as it'd be worth seeing people's reactions to their old statements. As for my opinion, based on what me know, 2016 will be decent at best for Nintendo and perhaps amazing for the hardcore fans who are ready to praise their favourite company ( or provide excuses for it) no matter what.
