Nintendo cleans up at AIAS Awards
Animal Crossing, Metroid and Mario lauded. And then some.
Nintendo has swept the proverbial board at this year’s Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Awards, taking seven prizes in a coup for the company, having been generally panned in the western awards scene in favour of GTA: Vice City.
Animal Crossing was a major winner, taking Console RPG of the Year and Outstanding Achievement in Game Design Awards.
What’s more, Metroid Prime took First-Person Action Game of the Year, Mario Party 4 deservedly won Family Game of the Year and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem took Outstanding Achievement in Character or Story. Metroid Fusion won Handheld Game of the Year.
"As an artist, the only way I know how to make a great game is to go by my intuition and heart", said Shigeru Miyamoto, in a statement that sounds refreshingly like it wasn't penned by a marketeer. "To win over and over in just one evening stunned our whole team. We're overwhelmed!"
