Let's calm down and look at all this for what it actually is.

A game like Nintendoland recieving 80 out of 100 is not too bad considering the content of the game and who it is meant to attract market wise. Remember, the game is not meant to go up against epic themed major AAA titles. It is meant to attract virtually the same audience as Wii Sport and Wii Play. Those games seldom scored above 80, and yet they alone managed to sell million of copies. Nintendoland receiving 80 is therefore not a disastrous score. On the contrary, it's quite a good score considering the games content.

When it comes to NSMBU, it's a slightly disappointing score, but far from a disaster. Without having read the reasoning behind such a "low" score, it's hard to comment on it. But I do suspect that the game is not considered innovative enough to gain the highest scores. That however does not say much about the overall quality of the game.

Bottom point; i80 and 85 are enough to please most consumers while waiting for more quality software.
