Nintendo was the big winner at The Game Awards

Dragon Age: Inquisition was named Game of the Year at The Game Awards' inaugural ceremony in Las Vegas, but Nintendo was the biggest winner overall.

Nintendo won four categories in total: Best Sports/Racing Game and Best Family Game for Mario Kart 8, Best Fighting Game for Super Smash Bros. Wii U, and Developer of the Year. That overshadowed EA Bioware, which took home arguably the most important award of all: Game of the Year for Dragon Age: Inquisition, which also won Best RPG.

The only other games to win more than one award were Ubisoft's Valiant Hearts (Best Narrative and Games for Change) and Bungie's Destiny (Best Online Experience and Best Score/Soundtrack).
