One strange thing that I've noticed since this portable generation started with the 3DS and continued with the Vita is that great qualty games aren't getting the Metascores they deserve. Ocarina of Time 3D, despite being an improved version of the original in every way, only has a Metascore of 94. Super Mario 3D Land only has a Metascore of 90. The highest rated Vita game, Rayman Origins, only has a Metascore of 88. Uncharted..? 80.
It seems to me that reviewers are scoring portable games lower than they should just because they are portable games. Weird. I reckon you should add anywhere between 5 and 10 points on top of a portable game Metascore to get an accurate and fair score. Very odd.
