Nintendo's puffy little mascot warmed his way on to the stage to win Best Kids Game for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. We hope he didn't eat the award.

18/22
Quite a redemption arc for Splatoon 3 after launching with network issues up the wazoo in September. It walked away with Best Multiplayer Game despite people still complaining about network issues and constant disconnects because of Nintendo's inferior network architecture. You know, the one thing you need to play multiplayer games.
19/22
With a somewhat bland storyline, divisive new characters and a lesser combo system, Bayonetta 3 is hardly the best in the series. But it was still good enough to beat out Call of Duty, Sifu and TMNT: Shredders Revenge for Best Action Game. Somebody really dropped the ball on this one.
20/22
Here's a category I just don't understand - Most Anticipated Game. Rewarding games that have managed to build up the most hype prior to release. A token award for the marketing team, which was won by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
