i totally agree, to an extent all handhelds are treated this way. though admittedly 3ds to a much lesser extent. 3ds games are usually reviewed for their own merit. How good they are on that platform. some even get padded scores for being nintendo games. just look at Zelda: OoT 3D, a re-released, 15 year old game with date gameplay mechanics, gets a 94 on meta.
then other high scoring games like
cave story: 93
Fire EmblemL 92
Super Mario: 90
Animal Crossing: 87
Luigi's Mansion: 86
Mario Kart: 85
kid icarus: 83
Star Fox: 81 (another 15 year old game.)
the only games im saying dont deserve those scores is Star Fox and espacially Zelda. the others do deserve thir scores.
then you have Vita games all punished for not being their higher resolution console cousins.
Uncharted: 80
Killzone: 78
Wipeout: 79
Need for Speed: 79
Fifa: 79
MLB the show: 76
MLB 13: 75
even LBP Vita, wasnt immune, it was a great score of 88, but if it were a ps3 game it definitely would be 92+
