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.

What makes you think Nintendo of all companies would bribe reviewers? They have no need to go that low, especially since they've made excellent games for years. It's like asking Michael Jordan why he's the greatest basketball player of all time, he'll let his career speak for itself.

Plus, didn't reviewers get free PS4 and Xbones for review when they were set to launch?

And as others have said, the individual scores that have improved from the original MK8 can add up to what the score is now. Changing from a 7.5 to an 8.5 or a 9 from a reviewer like Gamespot, as an example, can be significant.
