I just feel in this age over over inflated scores, 87 ain't too hot.

mmmm im going for 90. Reviewers love this kind of games and i dont see this game getting something below the "new" super mario series

where is the poll? :)

hope the game would be in the high 80s or in the 90s. but as I have mentioned it would be around 84.

92

That makes me wonder how they choose who to review which game.  Do they just randomly assign whoever might be free?  If so, that just makes metascores (and game reviews in general) just that much less reliable. 

Anyone knows when the embargo lifts? I heard Gamexplain saying that it lifts on September 2nd, but sounds too soon for me.

It's possible that Nintendo would lift it earlier than they usually do for Mario Maker.  I can see them being confident in review scores and plan to use them as a tool for advertising the game further.  

May be a bit too high, but 90-92, 87 at the least

I'm thinking low to mid 80's, perhaps an 84 like NSMBU. Reviews will be almost universally positive, but perfect scores would be rare. Limited customization options like the lack of curved surfaces and checkpoints will hurt. There will also be the standard tax on 2D games that are above $20. Oh, and the assets available will be critiqued. People do not like the NSMB style graphics and will likely be upset they can not use the All-Stars sprites.

Congrats to everyone who said 88! 

And to all the people who said < 88! Expectations being met.
