OK one thing really bothering me. Whenever reviewers don't roast a poor game on a spit everyone throws a fit and talks about bribery and laziness and demands they do their job blahblahblah. But then they actually buckle down and start being critical and do roast a poor game on a spit and people just say "I don't trust reviewers because reasons" and then go out and buy the bad game anyway and lo and behold are disappointed and still act like nobody warned them. Stop making excuses for games you haven't played people.

As for this game, I'm guessing Nintendo got sucked into this business deal by the same thing that got people's hopes up: it's Itagaki, a legendary designer. They probably gave him money and free reign for the most part and then he pulled a Romero. Happens. And let that be a refresher course: one big name does not make a good game.
