The Leipzig judges have decided on which games have won awards for their showing at the Games Convention, we bring you the result for best Wii game, best DS game and best hardware accessory product (They don't have a best overall game of show). For the Wii, the award goes to Mario...

...

...Oh.

The award goes to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. In a shocking result, the judges chose this legendary outing over Super Mario Galaxy, because "We finally discover who can run faster and jump higher. The game unites the former archrivals from Sega and Nintendo, renewing the old feud in the form of a sporting contest. Mario and Sonic manage to translate Olympic disciplines into easily mastered, entertaining games fun."

The winner of best DS game was Eye Training. Nintendo's official release list is still calling this Flash Focus, and it was chosen because "Eye Training trains hand-eye co-ordination, reflexes, visual acuity � and is great fun as well. A non-prescription DS game to be taken daily."

Nintendo also won the best hardware accessory product category with the Wii Balance Board. Wii Fit obviously had a lot to do in showing off what the board can do. Nintendo manages to combine video games with physical fitness and bring them closer to a new audience. Having already converted the remote control into a controller, the manufacturer now turns scales into a games accessory," say the judges.
