After presenting the Fresh Indie Game award at last year’s event, former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime is returning to the Game Awards as a presenter once again this year.

We’ll have to wait until the event itself on Thursday night to find out what he’s presenting this year, but he’ll be in great company with Brie Larson, Tom Holland and Gal Gadot also lined up as presenters.

There’s a number of Switch and Nintendo games nominated for awards, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons leading the way with a nod for Game of the Year, as well as Best Multiplayer Game and Best Family Game. Paper Mario: The Origami King and Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit have also received nominations.

To build hype for the event, organiser Geoff Keighley has dropped a new trailer over on Twitter. Take a look:

I know it's been a crazy and tough year for all of us.

But this is our December.

Thursday, we will virtually gather to celebrate what games mean to us.

Here's #TheGameAwards hype trailer I personally edited.
