Nintendo is certainly held to different standards. A lot of it is that reviewers don't want to make games on Nintendo consoles sound great unless they absolutely have to; like with your Ocarina of Times and Mario Galaxies.
But one example is how Nintendo sequels are always expected to be vastly different from predecessors, but a Call of Duty sequel or any other yearly franchise will never be subject to that kind of scrutiny.
