Hype culture will contribute as well.  Heaven forbid a Nintendo game/game with weeb-service scores too low.  Prepare your inboxes, reviewers.

OT: Predicted in RavenXtra's awesome thread and sticking with it - 78

I predict Jim Sterling will give it a score at least 20 points below the metacritic score, simply because it is a hyped game out of Japan. Just like he did with TLG and BotW.

Yeah, it couldn't possibly be because the game is actually... good.

Ikr, but let them live with their excuses I guess, just because they can't accept facts such as Nintendo actually makes good games, and that apparently even if the game wasn't good it'll still get a 90 on metacrtic because Nintendo made it.

Funny because I didn't see this Nintendo game getting the review scores these guys apparently say it would get because Nintendo made it; http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/animal-crossing-amiibo-festival

Go figure.

Well, go figure indeed - because Amiibo Festival is from that strange period of budget titles during the middling life Wii U that Nintendo released packaged garbage with pricetags;  Paper Mario: Color Splash, Mario Tennis: you know the one, Metroid Federation Force and the aformentioned NotAnimal Crossing.  Those games were all bad and really you'd be shooting your own foot trying to defend them.

However, show me low scores of a game like Mario Kart 7 and 8 and we're cooking.  But, you're not going find much.  Despite Mario Kart basically stagnating since the Wii interation, with a few bells and wissles added here and there, it gotten glowing reviews since 7.  No one dared challenge that the series is no better than CoD or Assassin's Creed in it's yawnful repetition.  But, I digress.

Show me some reviews roasting a high profile Nintendo game, and we'll talk.
