Not unexpected to see a Nintendo game being overrated...


Oh come on now that's just being rediculous, sure fans of the franchise running nintendo specific sites might be more inclined to give it good scores, but it's not like it's a bad game, far from it, and it's not like its being showerd with perfect scores either, just CONSISTENTLY HIGH scores, which says a lot more to me than the overall score.


Not saying it is a bad game - I'm sure it is great. It looks great too. But there is just so many Nintendo fansites that are counted on metacritic. It's not a surprise really though, Nintendo was around first and a lot of people grew up with them (the average gamer is 35, afterall).

I only count three "Nintendo centric" sites of the 45 critics reviews for the game on Metacritic. 

The two fansites are Nintendo Life and Nintendo World Report, the other one is the Official Nintendo Magazine UK. I guess you can argue the fansites are fanboyish, but ONM actually reviews Nintendo games fairly hard. 

Good point, Just notice out of the 3 fansites ONM didn't even give the game a 10. i think they gave it a 9.3? Anyway sites like Destructoid that give a nintendo exclusive a 10 must mean something! (they gave loz a 6.5 o.O)
