The AIAS DICE Awards are an annual event, the equivalent of the Academy Awards for video games.
These are the real deal, not some Spike TV farce, or some magazine or website's opinion of like 3-10 critics. These are awarded by The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) which is made up of over 33,000 members from across the video gaming industry. This is the Industry acknowledging the great work of their peers.
Not only has Nintendo cleaned up at the awards for the first time in almost 20 years, but they have finally topped their 1998 success. Nintendo won 10 of the 28 awards in 1999 with Ocarina of Time, Pokemon, Banjo Kazooie, and 1080 Snowboarding.
This year, Nintendo scored their biggest success yet in front of their peers when they snagged 11 of the 24 awards including the big 3 (all by Zelda).

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
