Dude, don't even joke about that; it might happen. He literally gave Mario Kart 7 a 5/10.

Don't forget fire hopping was fixed, pink boost, new items, the ability to hold two items, new characters, and new amiibo costumes were added.

  And people say he's not biased...

  I can see him saying "the game limits you to hold ONLY 2 items, that's game breaking 5/10" 

Well he just gave Yooka-Laylee a 2/10, maybe that'll suffice for his mandatory troll review for the month lol... He scored it a solid 30 points lower than the second lowest score:

Certainly churned up a lot of publicity from that one, so he might be able to take a break for a few weeks from the trolling :D

*sigh* You know he wasn't the only person who didn't like that game?  It was rather divisive.  I mean shoot, GameXplain's cast was divided on it. 

And the idea that he just craps on Nintendo's games is just BS.  Xenoblade Chronicles X and Splatoon 2 got honorable mentions in his top 10 games of 2015 and he praised Splatoon 2's free DLC practices and even defended the ammount of content it launched with.  Smash brothers was one of his top games of 2014 and Hyrule Warriors also made that same list.  Jim doesn't just go around hating on Nintendo willy nilly.  And the accusation that he does nothing but troll is just plain untrue.  I'm not his biggest fan, don't like all his videos, don't agree with all his views.  But the trolling accusation is just bull.

Jim Sterling uses reviews to generate controversy to bring in more attention. People say "But he doesn't have ads!!1!" but he still needs content to drive eyes to his beloved patreon. Nothing generates attention like indignations of fans, and whiteknights rallying around him. If you need proof of my claims, look no further than the notorious Mario Kart 7 vs MW3 meme, which he turned around and made a video on for tons of money.

Slant also does this, just look at their review history on Metacritic: 70% of their reviews are below the average, by 8+ points, and 60% of their reviews are below positive reception. Just look at their reviews for Alien Isolation, Breath of the Wild, Final Fantasy X/X2 HD, and Gravity Rush 2 to see some of the flame-baitiest trash ever put to text.

I'm mostly joking around. I remember many nice reviews from him in regards to Nintendo titles, like Super Mario Maker (90) and Splatoon (I think it was like 85), and he always seems to like Kirby.

In defense of Yooka-Laylee, though, people found flaws with the game for sure. 2/10, though, puts it in the company of games that legitimately don't function whatsoever, though, and that's just absurd.

In his own words, "A 2 represents a straight-up bad game. A thorough disaster, there is no hope of a positive experience ever shining through all the broken features and atrocious ideas. Only the truly desperate will be able to dig through the mire and find something passable."

He appears to be the only person on earth who feels it's that bad, deserving to sit beneath gems like Devil's Third and Stalin vs. Martians :D. If I have one issue with him, it's an utter lack of consistency in all things outside of his love for Kirby. Otherwise, some of his overly negative reviews often feel very forced.

I put together a table of the 24 (out of MK8D's 40) reviewers who scored both games.

Good Work :D

Very cool!

Everyone seems to be approaching it in their own way. Some keep the previous version in mind and grade based on how many improvements there's been, others grade it as if the first never existed, some acknowledge both, and some are giving some credit to the new version as it's on a portable console.

They're all over the place.
