It's opposite day.

GameSpot scored a Nintendo game higher than NintendoWorldReport.

Looking good indeed.

There was another thread for this but that one seems to have disappeared so let's use this one for now. Hoping for it to hit the 90; I don't care about Battle Mode so this sounds great for me!

Also there's no real excuse for not having the Metascore in the title...but aside from that:

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

i predict it will settle at 85

watched the IGN review looks a pretty good game but no world beater, its a 1 game 1 console cycle game so there wont be a follow up as such therefore worth a buy for Wiiu owners

...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

I find it so odd that Nintendo World Report gave it the lowest rating out of all the scores.

Otherwise looking excellent. Hopefully it'll stay above 87 when all is said and done.

Yeah, that is surprsing. I would've thought Gamespot would be the lowest since these days they essentially knock at least a full point off a game just for being Nintendo made. Other than those 2 scores though, pretty much all raves so far.

Give at least one example.

These generalizations are terrible for everyone.
