I'm betting that reviewer would probably give Muramasa like 15 to 20 more pts if it was released for a different system.

I'm positive that the majority of 'review' sites would have given this game 90% or the equivalent markings if it had been on the XBOX360 or PS3.

Clearly it has become evident by now that review sites have a heavy anti Wii/DS bias.  If the lower avg scores don't show this off, then surely the weekly jabs at Nintendo and their systems and games should.  From blatant references of IGN and GameSpot articles referring to the Wii as a 'kiddy system' to various 1up and GameInformer articles referring to DS games as being 'inferior'.  I mean, why are people even still reading these things unless they're just staunch 360/PS3 fans looking for ammo to fuel the console wars?

At least one good thing is coming out of the terrible Muramasa reviews.  A lot of people seem ticked off by the game generating suck pitifully obvious low scores.  This isn't a simple 7.5 for Madworld from GameSpot.  This seems like a deliberate target of Wii games where scores continue to get lower for each higher quality game that comes out.  I mean, when a game comes out that clearly surpasses its predecessors and is one of the better games on the system and yet has an AVG of 75% from Critics.....there's something fishy in the pond here.

I bet of this game has the label 'Castlevania' on it and was on the XBOX360, it would have gotten a 9.5 easy.
