Unless nintendo do something different for its games (as spurgeonryan suggested) all nintendo games might follow this type of scores.

Not really surprised, never looked good

Still buying it. Scores be damned.

The fact that review embargo lift after the release is telling.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

I've never been interested in this game but I will wait for more reviews before finalizing me opinion...

PS: Embargo is supposed to lift at some point today. Dtoid said that it would be posting its review today...I just don't remember when

hehehehe..... considering that this is Edge, it´s expected. Too bad Edge lost a lot of its relevance today.

Not a good way to start the year of Yoshi (if that happens).

Graphics always looked terrible to me.. Also, the Metascore isn't horrible for Yoshi. I mean, Yoshi's Story doesn't have a great score either.

The art-style alone robbes 25% of the games possible MAX score.
So it cannot get better than 7.5/10 even if the rest would be perfect.


Btw  exactly this is how I  feel about 90% of all the studios that are NOT Nintendo.  They just dont know how to make games. Even if they get a 9 out of 10 (because their publishers bought good review scores etc) all the games just lack polish and soul and feel rushed.
(my latest 2 games are Diablo3 and GTA5 and there is just so much wrong with those 2 games....)

I completely felt that LuigisMansion 2 was NOT a Nintendo game. It was an okayish game  but LM1 was FAR better.


I know how you feel, but then over 90 % of the studios that are not Nintendo are shovelware studios :P

I thought LM2 felt like a Nintendo game, but with western influences maybe? At least it was thousand times better than NSMB. The multiplayer in LM2 was really, really fun too, me and my friends still play it...



Yep.
