It's because the only people who care about the game are the biggest Nintendo fans. Guess what score the biggest Nintendo fans will give most Nintendo games.

I disagree with that statement completely.

It probably comes from people knowing they are going to like the game or not. I told a friend of mine at work today that when I get home I'm going to purchase Captain Toad, he was like "really?.. Captain Toad?.. why?". He is a big Nintendo fan, and general gaming fan but he hated the Captain Toad levels in SM3DW (which I really enjoyed btw) so he know's he isn't going to like the game, but with that said, he won't buy it either.

I haven't suggested that the people who rated it didn't like the game. Just that there are definitely no people who would buy it and then don't like it. There is not really much to this game so there is no reason to buy it if you don't already know that you will enjoy the gameplay.

It doesn't have a big name attached to it either so the chance that someone will not know what it's like before buying it is very low. So a very low chance of disappointments all around.

Also very low interest from the usual detractors. No Nintendo hater even gives a shit about it.
