Super Mario Odyssey Dominates Gamescom Awards

This year's Gamescom event has come to a close, and though there wasn't enough breaking news to go around, there were more than enough great games to keep fans entertained – and one that really enthralled them was Super Mario Odyssey.

In fact, Nintendo's upcoming platformer for Nintendo Switch turned so many heads, that it managed to dominate this year's Gamescom awards with ease.

The show has awarded Odyssey as the Best of Gamescom, but it has also managed to net four additional awards – "Most Wanted" Consumer Award, the Best Nintendo Switch Console Game, the Best Action Game and Best Family Game.
