Ahead of the 20th annual Game Developers Choice Awards in March, the full list of nominees were announced today. A number of Nintendo-related games are included, such a Untitled Goose Game with four nominations.
Here’s the full lineup:
2019 was one of Nintendo’s better years for sales in Japan – especially when it comes to Switch specifically. The company secured 80 percent of the console market last year, with Switch accounting for 76 percent of that amount. Nintendo’s main platform also saw its sales increase 29 percent year-over-year.
Nintendo’s strong 2019 is really put into perspective when considering the past couple of decades. As it turns out, last year was the Big N’s best year when looking back on its console sales going back to 1999.
Niantic has announced that Piplup will be the next Pokemon featured for the latest Pokemon GO Community Day. The event itself will be held on January 19.
Just like with previous events, Piplup will have an unspecified exclusive move. Other bonuses include 1/4 Egg hatch distance and 3-hour Lures.
