But you have to acknowledge genre bias over any other kind though. I doubt a racing, fighting or Party game will win GOTY in the forseeable future. I think even platformers will only be considered if they belong a big franchise like Mario.

I think the novelty of having that game on a handheld will compensate for lack of local multiplayer and lack of a C stick. its also the first foray back into the franchise for 6 years. 

Hyrule Warriors: 85
Bayonetta 2: 90
Captain Toad: 87
SSB 3DS: 89
SSB WiiU: 94

Hyrule Warriors : 79
Bayonetta 2 : 92
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker : 83
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U : 93
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS : 88
Pokémon AlphaSapphire/OmegaRuby : 87

Hyrule Warriors: 75 (I think the Zelda brand will count for/against it depending on the reviewer, and I've heard reports of slowdown that won't go down well in some quarters)

Bayonetta 2: 91 (I'd love this to score more highly but I can see it being slightly divisive)

Captain Toad: 87 (Given the pedigree of EAD Tokyo I'm expecting great things, but there's a lot we don't know about this game compared to everything else)

SSBfor3DS: 87 (I think this could be one of the best games on 3DS, but handheld titles generally are reviewed lower than home console titles. Some of the best 3DS games (imo), have lower scores than a home console title of equivalent quality: Luigi's Mansion 2, Kid Icarus, Link Between Worlds, Fire Emblem: Awakening come to mind)

SSBforWii U: 93 (I think it'll do better than Kart 8, but there'll be a handful of 7s that will drag the score down; I expect we'll get reviewers complaining that the franchise is stagnant, which is an accusation levelled at every major Nintendo release from at least one or two reviewers)

Hyrule Warriors - 81 Zelda fanservice allways works and the game looks good.

Bayonetta 2 - 94 the first was epic, but now, with nintendo onboad

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - 92 it looks better everytime we see it. will be good


Super Smash Bros. for 3DS - 88 gnaah handheldmechanics....

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - 94 its melee all over again

Hyrule Warriors: 73
Bayonetta 2: 89
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: 87
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS: 86
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 91

Hyrule Warriors: 75
Bayonetta 2: 90
Captain Toad: 84
Smash 3DS: 87
Smash WiiU: 93

Honestly, I think all of OP's predictions are pretty accurate, for precisely the reasons named. But I'll bump them all up/down by a point, just so I'm not copying things exactly:

Hyrule Warriors: 83 (yeah, Dynasty Warriors games aren't exactly critical gems outside of Japan... this one looks like it's got a bit more going on than usual, though)

Bayonetta 2: 93

Captain Toad: 91 (EAD Tokyo is an insanely talented group of developers, I have very high hopes for this)

SSBfor3DS: 89

SSBforWii U: 94

I'll be very surprised if the Wii U doesn't have at least 2-3 more 90+ games under its belt by the end of the year.

I don't give a damn how any of them score on metacritic, I learned years ago not to base my purchases on critical reception.
