There's barely a shred of doubt in my mind that this will be my favorite console game ever, but I'm still fairly skeptical about review scores. Nobody on Earth is denying that Galaxy is the best platformer in almost a decade, and clearly the purest example of its genre on the market. It says something that Metacritic dismissed all the scores under 90 as trolling, and refuses to list them.

On the other hand, a lot of people have a bone to pick with Super Smash Bros. Most magazines/review sites will probably make their "fighting games guy" review it, and angry fans of the more traditional fighting games (Street Fighter, Tekken etc) are just about the only people on the planet who can manage to convince themselves they don't love SSB because it isn't a "real" fighter. Definitely 90+ average score, but probably not 95+.
