Well done!   Not surprised that Cuphead cleared out those specific ones ;)

Also not surprising: Outstanding Achievement in Character: Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice - Senua

No suprise for me, Nintendo had a really strong Lineup for Switch and the quality is fantastic. I'm glad they are back on the track. Congratz

Nintendo has absolutely killed it this year with BOTW and Super Mario Odyssey, good for them.
