Not necessarily. Metacritic doesn't just get an average of scores from different review websites. Metacritic adds a hidden "weight" to each website's score when collating them all. The way in which Metacritic assigns these weightings leaves them open to adding their own bias to review scores (note I am talking about Metacritic possibly having a bias in general, not specifically towards Nintendo).
