Look at a review for Mario Galaxy from any game site. Do you notice a story category? No Game Reviewers know that they have to target a certain audience when reviewing a game. I'm pretty sure Mario fans wouldn't care about hte story so they don't mention the story. Same thing goes for a few other series. This is more dependent on who the fans of the game are and what they expect than the developer. Though new ips get this rated by default since they aren't existing. So in a sense yes Nintendo gets their way out, but that is only because nobody expects the story to be great. I'm pretty sure any new Nintendo game would be criticized in the same way as any other.
