It's a niche title with few votes that strongly appeals to said niche market. KH2.5 currently has 9.7 from 56 votes for the same reason: (http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/kingdom-hearts-hd-25-remix).

The higher the profile of a game, the more troll scores it tends to get. The WiiU's lack of popularity means it tends to fair the best of the 8th gen consoles (it's seen as somewhat irrelevant by many in the PS vs Xbox fanboy wars), but it still gets a fair number on its higher profile games. Likewise, the fans of a console tend to throw 10's at every exclusive they get.

TL;DR - Metacritic user score's mean bugger all.

Wrong as that would mean the critic score means bugger all as well for Nintendo games. In case you didn't notice, the gap between those two scores on Nintendo games is always very small. That's why I'm surprised it's so big with Captain Toad. And Wii U has many niche games like DKC: TF (sold like a niche game) and PIkmin 3. 

Not sure why you're talking about the immaturity of the XBOX or PS fanbase on metacritic, this is about Nintendo. 

Anyway, 3 people gave it a zero out of ten so far, right after I made the thread lol. Hmm, how mature of some.
