Ohh that's why almost every Nintendo-published game on Gamespot gets a 9 or 10, with very few dipping below an 8. This in their own words mean they think most Nintendo games are "great" -  because they clearly hate Nintendo. Of course.

"Almost every" is a gross exaggeration.  Yeah, they give plenty of Nintendo games good scores, especially in recent years, but as long as they've been around they've had a ton of ridiculous reviews.  For a while they were consistently at the very bottom of just about every review score list for Nintendo games.

So because they are constantly not giving Nintendo as good of scores as other sites, they must hate Nintendo.

Gotcha.

So it appears that perhaps Gamestop doesn't love Nintendo games as much as other people. That's still a far cry from hate. But you know, Internet exaggerations for the win. If they don't love something as much as you, they practically hate it I guess.

Also, I apoligize for the typo. I meant to say gets 8-10 for score, and in that case "Almost Every" would not a gross exaggeration when 9 our of 13 Nintendo-made Wii-U games reviewed by Gamestop got score of 8 or above.
