Skyward Sword comes to mind.

@OP: Hey, maybe GameSpot is switching to a five-star system, and the score is really 4.5/5 ;)

My thing is why does all these titles have reviews coming out the day of the system release. So counterproductive, its making guess work out of titles consumers want to purchase. Nintendo go their reviews out a couple days early and left others to fend for themselves

Why does anyone care about reviews? Play the game for yourself.

Well it's not easy to rent games any more, and I'm not paying $60 for a bad or even average game.

My guess is they'll gonna talk a lot about the game on Invisible Walls, so that should be interesting to see, no matter who officially reviewed it for GT.

Gamespot can be the hipsters of the review industry at times. Remember Skyward Sword.

but whether a game is bad or average is subjective.

I know I have enjoyed supossedly BAD rated gamers more than some 8-9 rated games.

Nintendo Land got a 8.0 from GameSpot by the way.

You sure about that? not for 90% of Wii owners it isn't. Maybe, just maybe, it's the game that most PS360 owners who had their eye on Wii U as a possible buy were keen on. But that's not most people by any stretch.

It's a game Nintendo is hoping will give Wii U some early M-rating cred. It's a pity Nintendo doesn;t go there themselves, seems like Metroid is the closest they get to publishing a M-rated game. But if Nintendo want M-rated game cred on their console then they should not rely totally on 3rd parties.

Well, this bodes better for my success in the metascore league.
