Wait, they're using Metacritic to advertise their games? That's interesting.



This is all about cherry-picking data to put yourself in as good a light as possible. All companies do it, and it's just as obvious every time.



They may not be No.1 on the charts, but their games were, are, and always will be the best in terms of quality!



Their games are very unique and entertaining, but Metacritic...C'mon Nintendo.Just say that you have great games , thats a fact no one can deny.

Really? Using user scores on Metacritic to brag about?
And did Bayonetta get a separated score from Bayonetta 2? If not XBOX ONE have a 4 in 1 to brag about too.

Yes:

And it is possible to buy Bayonetta separately from Bayonetta 2.

Also it is not about User-scores alone, but both Critic-score and user-score abovve 85. That's quite an accomplishment.

Metacritic is one of the most popular ways for the general public to rate things, especially leyman customers. So yeah, metacritic. That website that pops up first or second when you google terms like "Bayonetta 2 review". If someone is hardcore into games, they probably already own the Wii U or hate the Wii U. This is a smart way to educate parents and the non hardcore gamers i.e the vast majority of the Wii U's audience.

I don't have a problem with that, as long as it's true. Though Pokemon X and Y are separate games, huh?

Wait ... User Scores? They're citing User Scores?

Well, whatever. I'm too sleepy to worry about digging up a clever and unique face-palm image.

Games that excel in both critic- and user-score. A way dragon age gets disqualified for example.

But the games in the list are beloved by critics AND users, that is something. Probably you really get better some sleep before posting.

Suddenly metacritic is important again. Moving goals is all the rage this generation.



Pretty sad that they counted X and Y as two titles..... 

Also, so for a game to have a star it needs an 8.5 meta AND user score? So no MCC,  ForzaHorizon 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, GTA 5, Far Cry 4....... must I go on?
