Do Brand name games get inflated scores based on hype?

Oh it happens. Just look at GTA4. I don't know how many but a few reviewers came back after the fact and said they regretted scoring it so high.
I am not sure how anyone can say Nintendo games though. They are judged harsher than any other company.
W101 for example. I read 3 different reviews that said the game would be AAA if it was on PS3 or 360 but because it was on Wii U it was docked points.

Where did you read that? Id like to read those reviews.

The Wonderful 101 had a lot of potential, but by being a Wii U exclusive and forcing the implementation of the GamePad and touchscreen that potential was squandered. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but the Wii U’s latest exclusive game is made worse by being exclusive. - See more at: http://stevivor.com/review/wonderful-101/#sthash.GUDA9wim.dpuf

Looking for the other review now where the reviewer says exactly "Had it been on any other platform it would have been a quality title", but it takes a while to go through them honestly. Took me about 30 minutes of backtracking to find that one.

Cheers, guess he doesn't like touchscreen, he's gunna have a hard time gaming in the future as it seems to be an "In" thing atm.
