Forums - Nintendo - Biased about the 3DS? An Analysis of Ten Review Sites

Gamespot is simply a shit site - nintendo bias or not. Tom McShea's Skyward Sword Review was the needle that broke the camels back for me- the misinformation contained in that review is truly embarrassing - I never ever go to that site anymore. No sir!

Great work Salnax! Truly great.

It's very interesting to see it laid out like this, and I can only agree with your analysis.

Are you going to do Wii U games as well?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Gamespot sucks since they gave Kingdom Hearts 3D: DDD a 7.0. I hate them.

I started working on Wii U games, but realized that the Wii U would be a bit harder, simply because it hasn't had as many games as the 3DS (due to coming out 18 months later) and besides Nintendo-dedicated websites, many review sites tend to overlook multiplatform games on the Wii U, which are actually numerous enough to matter.

Instead, I'm currently working on a Vita version of this thread. It will be interesting, seeing as how many Vita fans consider a lot of Vita games underrated on sites like Metacritic due to their platform, and the fact that the Vita has almost as many widely reviewed games as the 3DS.



You need to do the same for all console to prove its bias and not just they score lower higher on average than other sites.

Ooooh that's actually pretty interesting! I guess you could do a Wii U thread early next year? After Smash Bros and MK8, and possibly Zelda and/or X...

You realize that you've given me a project of epic proportions that now I have to attempt?

But it would be interesting right to see if other sites are also biased to other consoles :)



There are definite inconsistencies in your chart and the assignment of negative reviews to publications.

Can you point out a few? Call me an idiot, but I can't find them.
