Genuinely surprised, I expected 5-7/10 given Gamespot's track record. (And no, I don't just mean with Nintendo, they gave Driveclub a 5/10 for example)

man i remember a few years ago when people used to bash gamespot's reviews because they kept giving 8's to big games and considered them bad. now they are wishing for 8's lol.

Nintendo seems to be loosing their charm with Wii U. Gamespot is aware about that. They are critical and unlike ign they can be trusted. When everyone was praising halo master chief collection gamespot dared to give 6. And they gave splattoon 8. And its a great score.

I think if there's one thing Nintendo hasn't lost it's their charm. In fact, reviewers seem to almost always mention that difficult-to-define Nintendo charm when reviewing their games.

They have plenty of things going against them, but I don't think that's one of them.
