The game is now sitting at a 79 on metacritic, and that's mostly just because alot of reviewers are scared to give nintendo games bad scores.
"Its a metroid game, I have to give it a 10...!"

The game has an 8.3 for user-reviews. It's not an Other M situation where the game got a 79 from reviewers and a 6.6 from users. I think it is appropriately reviewed. 

77% of professional critics gave it a positive score versus 78% of users.
