I just find it awfully suspicious that it's EXTREMELY rare that a non Zelda/Mario/Metroid Nintendo game ever gets a 90+ score. There's obviously some soft spots for those couple franchises and barring them reviews are able to see nintendo games for how good they actually are rather than how good the times they had with them were. |
How about Sega's Sonic series. The nostalgia factor didn't help them, did it? Nostalgia doesn't determine the score. If anything it can diminish it as previous games set the bar high and the expectations are high too. These are flagship franchises and there's extra time, effort and money put in every title. They need to make sure that the next game is bigger, better, more exiting. Especially for Nintendo as those titles are the cornerstone of whole company.
