Gaming sites will praise all the bad decisions Nintendo make, and try to shout down every good decision that they make. |
What's this have to do with this situation? If it's even true at all?

The Wii U was a bad desicion. So they will find a way to praise the console.
But when they make a good desicion, like NSMBW, it will get shouted down. Like this.

An editorial with zero comments?
Either way, NSMBW gets tonnes of flak and I cant fathom ehy, I agree. But in the end, the console being a good or bad desicion is just opinion.

It gets flak because it is perceived as lazy. Nintendo needed a Mario game, so they just took an existing engine and made an expansion pack for it in HD essentially. When this happens people get annoyed because we like change and because too much of a similar thing in a short amount of time deadens your perception of it. If they had released a full 3D Mario game, it would have gotten a better reception. This is also why Mario 3D World kind of got a "meh" from a lot of people - it's a great game, but it's just "more of the same" in many peoples' eyes with 3D Land. The same thing can be pointed at DK Tropical Freeze - it's a very similar game to the previous one but in HD, etc etc.
If they had released 4 Galaxy games since the first one, you could assume the same thing would start happening there, too.

We're talking about NSMBW, not NSMBU.
