Heh, at this stage I don't think Nintendo executives have the intelligence to do that. These are the people who whipped up a frenzy with a 'big announcement' that turned out to be Kranky Kong in the upcoming Donkey Kong game instead of what people were expecting like a release date for Mario Kart 8, or those that use Nintendo Direct show of theirs to announce some obscure new Smash Bros character every week.

I've not played A Link Between Worlds and nor do I plan do, but if nothing else it's a minor excuse for Nintendo to be happy. The Last of Us and GTA will sweep the awards that matter I guess.
