My biggest issue lately is the almost guaranteed point off I see for most Nintendo releases on account of it being "too familiar". I kept seeing that line with the recent Yoshi game, the Kirby game, Super Mario Maker, DK Tropical Freeze etc.
What bothers me is they'll often spend much of the review praising the game but then complain that it's too familiar to them, as they've played similar games before. This is something I almost never see said or held against games like Call of Duty/Assassin's Creed etc, games that are often almost carbon copies of previous releases and release far more often than most of Nintendo's franchises.
I think it's inadvertent and subconscious on the part of most reviewers as they've been seeing these characters since they were young, but it's also irresponsible.
