Last night were The Game Awards, an award show that is basically a thinly veiled way of showing new trailers and making big new announcements for AAA titles. Highlight of the night was when Metroid Dread took home the Best Action Adventure Game. You can see Nintendo’s thank you tweet below:
Thank you for voting #MetroidDread as the Best Action/Adventure Game this year at #TheGameAwards!

And Doug Bowser’s acceptance speech (where he is clearly a little nervous!):

On behalf of this website and the Metroid community at large, I’d like to congratulate the entire staff and all contributors to Metroid Dread. Thank you so much for making the game we have waited so long to play.
