Original Article:The Game Awards 2016 are coming on 1st December, a glitzy show that celebrates the best games of the year. Though not to everyone's taste, it's one of the better events of its type each year, which often includes some exclusive reveals and performances.

The nominations for the awards themselves are now out, and unsurprisingly (considering the 2016 release slate) it's slim pickings from a Nintendo perspective. That said, the company and its partners are prominent in the Best Mobile / Handheld category; the line-up is below.
