Nintendo won three awards following this year’s Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. The first, and most sought after amongst developers and publishers is the \”Most Wanted Consumer Award\”. This year’s winner was Super Smash Bros for both the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS. The other awards were Best Console Game (Wii U) which went to Nintendo’s own third-person paintball shooter Splatoon, and finally Best Mobile Games which went to Super Smash Bros for 3DS.
