MK8 is 88, and that looks like a considerably more polished game, so even accounting for Smash's cult popularity and breadth of content, I find it hard to see reviewers placing it much higher than Kart.

Skyrim holds a 96 on Metacritic. Smash Bros. typically scores higher than Mario Kart too. They don't give a damn about polish.

Maybe you're right, but the 3DS version scored what, 85? Obviously Wii U will likely score higher, but by how much when they're so similar?

88 Meta

Not only at you but im surprised anybody is predicting lower than an 89, especially when 3ds is at an 85 :0

MK8 is 88, and that looks like a considerably more polished game, so even accounting for Smash's cult popularity and breadth of content, I find it hard to see reviewers placing it much higher than Kart.

More polished =/= higher score. Also SSB > MK on meta, and why compare SSBU to MK8 when SSBU vs SSB 3ds is more logical for review purposes?

That said MK8 is definitely the best MK game and imo is a 90-91 so meta isnt far off. SSBU has alot of stuff your not giving credit for.

So Similar???????????? Nooooooooooooooooooo! MK7 + MK8 is more similar than SSBU + SSB 3DS.

SSBU+SSB 3DS share same Line up, gameplay Mechanics.... SSBU has a shit ton of modes SSB 3DS doesn't have excluding Smash Run.

Im surprised yu dont know about any of this O.o (even if your not a ssb fan)

Reviewers are stricter on games now than they were in 2008.

Considering Mario Kart 8 had 1.2 million first week, 1.5 million isn't out of the question

Yes. But those 1.2 million were shipped+digital, whereas here we're talking specifically physical sold in the US.

Nintendo said "picked up the game" on Twitter, so I'm assuming that means sold, not shipped

More than one million of you picked up the game. Thanks for playing Mario Kart 8 and enjoy your races! #MK8 pic.twitter.com/KinqjOpfed

I would be utterly shocked if it sells less than 1Million opening weekend
