First, take a look at how many titles in top 20 are Nintendos?

While for example Mario Galaxy has sod great and has metacritic at 97, it is to be expected since its Mario.

Lets take a few.

Mario and the sonic at olympics:

Metacritic:67

6.93m

Sonic and the Secret rings:

2.02m

Metacritic:69

 Carnival games:
3.19m

Metacritic:56

 

 

 Mario & Sonic is excluded because it has Mario in the title.

Sonic and the Secret rings is excluded because Sonic has been in a game together with mario, thus biasing reviewers.

Carnival games isn't a game. This thread is about games, go away with you and your non-games.
