Switch reviews seem to be biased / influenced by free consoles and bribery.
BotW already did get inflated scores which in no way reflected the game's major flaws or player opinions.

And increasing the score of a 3 year old 88 Wii-U game to 93 for no reason points towards unfair and biased reviews. The new Battle mode alone, despite being the heart and soul of every Mario Kart game, cannot be the explanation.

Yeah, that explains 1,2 Switch perfect scores...

The only main criticism that the original game had was the lack of battle mode, and this game solves it. Also, this game includes all the DLC (free and paid) content (DLCs that scored in the 90s), new characters and some minor improvements, while portable mode seems pretty impressive. Moreover, remasters of recent games tend to score similarly than the original game (The Last of Us Remastered mantained the same score (95) with no significant changes, Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's cut improved one point on PC (PS3/X360 versions didn't have meta score), so It's completely explainable. 

I expected a metacritic of 90, and it will probably end up with 91-92 points, it's not something so strange that has to be explained by bribery...
