To some extend i agree, but nintendo is also giltgy of making sum throw-away games i.e Punch out and trauma center. not bad games but by no means are they outstanding.

Punch out has 86% on metacritic with 63 reviews. Not bad of you ask me. I wouldn't call it a throw-away game.

 

If it had more new characters and a better multiplayer(and dare I say online multiplayer as well) it would have gotten lots and lots of 90+ reviews. The gameplay is certainly AAA in this game, but yes it lacks some things like new characters.

The review score it's not what makes a game a throwaway or not... I've seen a lot of 1run games reciving 90+ scores this gen. Puch-out has sure an AAA gameplay mechanic but it is also very short and it doesn't have difficulty settings, it's not a game that I would like to re-play so many times.
