Yeah shame on you Nintendo for useing meta scores... don't you know only Sony and MS can do that without getting heat.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

So it's really 8 for Wii-U and 8 for PS4 and Xbone.

User scores means nothing, specially if we are talking about Metacritic. Read again the comment, it's not only because of the number, but PS4 and XBO fans attack each other there while Nintendo suffers very little with it.
Take the real score, as I already said, PS4 alone have more than 20 games rated 85+ there.

Cherry picking like this is low to be honest, but heh, PR.

It is pure speculation about XBO and PS4 fans attacking each other and destroying the scores. If that would be the case, the number of votes would be strongly inflated, but if a real big game like GTA barely get's more votes than Smash, I can't see it. The raging troll-wars on user-score sound like legends - and without proof they are.

Low is, that at the time Nintendo get's once a good result in one thing, fans of other consoles come and are searching for things to shed doubt about that. It's similar to this:

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=195294

In that thread I agreed with another Nintendo-fan that Dragon Age got the GOTY deserved. Other games might have qualified, but only one can win in the end. And Dragon Age winning is far from outrageous, it is a fine game.

You genuinely have a high regard for user scores on Metacritic? That's interesting.

Did I say that? Before pulling more strawmens, get better some sleep and think it over.

I'm sorry to say this, but the user score was cherry picked to make things looks way better than they really are.
Nintendo userbase is way lower than both the PS4 and XBO, and Metacritic user scores tend to get higher when only a few fans of a game go there to vote, and Nintendo doesn't have that opposite that PS4 and XBO have that go in each other games to give them 0's (zeros) to make the score go down.

PS4 alone have more than 20 games over 85 in Metacritic.

I'm sorry to say this, but did you look at the numbers of users that voted. Smash has over 600, enough to attract some trolls. If you look at GTAV for PS4, that has a bit over 700, so not that much more. And GTA is one of the most well known games.

Virtues's Last reward for Vita for example has a better user-score, but didn't count here because of worse critic-score (probably because of the game optimised to stylus). Both, the Vita and the 3DS version have similar number of people voting.

And enough of the games on PS4 and XO are niche enough, even more on Vita, so that your explanation would apply. Only a few attract internet-rage.

Because scores from review sites that are paid by Sony or MS mean that much to you?

While I don't think they used the best metric... It's hard not to argue the great quality that Nintendo releases, especially when many other developers are pushing out broken games left and right.
