When are people going to realize that anything over 75 on the metacritic is great and Id say is worth a purchase. Some of my favorite games of all time have below 70 on the metacritic.

Someone beat me to the racial diversity "complaint". But yeah, all positive w/ no mixed reviews means its gonna be very good. There will be a couple that always say things deserve a less than stellar score. But as in all science, you throw out the outliers.

I dare to ask, musou Warriors? :P

And further add to your comment, anything that hits 75 or more in Meta is highlighted in green, so that also shows good games.

I was expecting something around 75-82. That Metascore took me by surprise.

My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Seriously? It has a higher Metascore than MK64 or Double Dash. The only Kart games with higher or equal scores are the SNES, GBA, and DS iterations... So this is the highest-rated home console MK since 1992.

How the hell did the GBA one get so high? It was terrible!

I guess it was better than most critics expected. Lots of GBA games seemed to have inflated scores... we have much higher standards for portable games even after the later years of the GBA.
