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.

We'll see if a gamescreen in "in." I've held the gamepad before and IMO the controller is just way too big. Anything can happen though, when DS released few games took advantage of the two screens well, and few would have thought the console would have been a huge success. Same with Wii, no one expected the smallest graphical jump from Gamecube to Wii to be such a big deal and dramatically change sales.

With PS4, this is the first serious redesign since they added analog sticks to the PS1 controller. I've always complained that the PS controller is too small, and now that whole issue might be remedied. Plus there is a touchpad in the middle, not a screen, but it could be cool. It could also flop like 6-axis.
