The nominations are out for Geoff Keighley’s yearly glamorous advertising and awards event, The Game Awards, which will be broadcast on Thursday, December 8th.<\/p>\n

Now, we’re all well aware by this point that Nintendo’s representation on these lists is usually pretty lacking until you get to the indies and the Best Family category, but it honestly doesn’t look calamitously<\/em> bad this year, even with Elden Ring<\/a> and God of War: Ragnarok<\/a> taking up most of the oxygen in the room.<\/p>\n

Xenoblade Chronicles 3<\/a> nets three noms, A Plague Tale: Requiem<\/a> gets five (albeit not for the Cloud Edition, we’d bet), and the other games sweeping the board include Tunic<\/a> (three noms), Neon White<\/a> (three noms), Sifu<\/a> (three noms),and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope<\/a> (two noms).<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s biggest blockbusters this year make an appearance, as Kirby and the Forgotten Land<\/a>, Splatoon 3<\/a>, Nintendo Switch Sports<\/a> and Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus<\/a> all get one nomination each. Bayonetta 3<\/a> has also been nominated for Best Action, and Square Enix’s Triangle Strategy<\/a> and Live A Live<\/a> also get one nom each for Best RPG.<\/p>\n
