=== Japan Media Arts Festival === Video games are often nominated for awards in the Entertainment/Interactive Art division (which includes several other media as well as games) of the [[Japan Media Arts Festival]], awarded by the [[Japan]]ese government's Ministry of Cultural Affairs. The games below are the winners of the Grand Prize and the Excellence Prize (runner-up). "N/A" is written for the years where a video game did not win the Grand Prize, but did win the Excellence Prize. Many of the games below have often mainly been awarded for reasons such as originality, innovation, creativity, polish, and artistic achievement. {| class="wikitable" style="width:95%;" |- ! Year !
