This year, former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award for the extremely significant impacts he made on both Nintendo and the gaming industry as a whole. Mr. Iwata tragically passed away this summer due to bile duct cancer.
A Golden Joystick Awards PR representative had this to say:
Nintendo pulled in a few more awards at the show, with Splatoon winning “Best Family Game” and “Best Nintendo Game.”
