If that were the case, explain their damning Digital Foundary verdicts of Wii U multiplats.

Compared to X1 and PS4? It's weaker hardware, it's the nature of the beast, a non-debatable thing.

Coming out and saying Wii U Mario Kart is the best looking console game is strange, and stems for over-reverence. Kool-Aid was drunk.

No, compared to PS3 and 360, which are weaker systems than Wii U. They were also critical of Wii U's design choices, and several of Nintendo's software decisions.

MK8's beauty is widely recognized, finding it the most visually pleasing console game of the year isn't strange at all. It may not be the most technically advanced, but that's not what they said, they said "best looking" which is a subjective matter  of aesthetic preference. No Kool Aid required.
