Super Mario Maker, Splatoon and Xenoblade Chronicles X are great games and each in a way deserving of GotY.

In my own opinion, I would say Xenoblade X, in the opinion of the greater public, I would say Splatoon, but those are just my takes. I have yet to play Mario Maker and from what I have heard it is great and one of the most creative liberating experiences on a Nintendo platform since Mario Paint so it being game of the year also makes sense.

Tri Force Heroes being Game of the Year for the 3DS however is a bold face lie. It isn't a bad game but nowhere near GotY unless you never paid attention to any thing else on the system but the name. Especially if you like RPG or RPG like games, I mean we got Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Majora's Mask 3D, Etrian Odyssey Untold 2, Stella Glow, even Yokai Watch also along a more indie line digital classics like Box Boy and Steamworld Heist also available to choose from. Tri Force Heroes is good but flawed in a way that makes it feel less like a complete experience and more like a great experiment. It is all opinion but that opinion is one of the few I will say is outright wrong.
