I dont see that anybody ignoring Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis, but people do realize that those games are just a small and fast games, spin offs and fillers, so relly not big deal. Also 59 and 44 not exatly same.

I'm not changing shit. I'm saying it like it is. I bought Perfect Dark on the first day it was released. I know what I'm talking about. I'm not saying there weren't framerate issues. It just wasn't uncommon for a game like that to not have framerate issues. SOme of the most highly rated N64 games had framerate issues. The N64 hardware was also getting old at the time. That's why people didn't have a problem with it. That's why critics didn't have a problem with it even though it was mentioned in just about every review of the game at the time. Remember Turok 2? It was one of the top N64 games of 1998 and a Christmas present of mine that year. That game also suffered from framerate issues and occassionally froze when it used the N64 expansion pak. Despite all this, these games were still very much playable and performed exceptionally well for the time. 

Now, when looking at Devil's Third, we're looking at something different from Perfect Dark or one of the other top rated N64 games. Those games couldn't avoid the issues they had unless they were running on more powerful hardware. With Devil's Third, it could be better because games like it have been done already on the very same hardware. So it isn't like there's a hardware limitation issue here, or at least if there is, it isn't as severe as some of the later N64 games. Also, Devil's Third comes from the same guy who helped revive the Ninja Gaiden series. so there's a good reason to initially have high expectations. Again, you're looking too much into the numbers themselves. You have to look into the context behind the numbers. You can't just compare two completely different games that have different expectations and suffer from entrely differently problems. 

Finally, as for the Nbomb....um...I don't speak bullshit internet language. I don't know what that means. Call me old fashion but I prefer English.

Why is everyone using metacritic as a reference metacritic is so irrelevant

I remember a time when a major Nintendo release reviewing poorly was actually nonexistent. I mean that too. It just never use to happen.

^^ @AlfredoTurkey Except Amiibo Festival and Ultra Smash are not MAJOR releases...? They are fillers/spin-offs. If the next 3D mainline Super Mario game is below 90 and around the low 80s, then I might think about the state of Nintendo's development teams. The main big releases for this year for Nintendo are Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Yoshi's Woolly World, and Xenoblade Chronicles X. So far, they've been well-received.

Yes that is nice, you will never see anything even close to what happened with the Order if the game is coming from Nintendo, the closer thing to something like that was Metroid Other M, and that was not a bad game, just a dissapointing Metroid. They take a lot of care for every of its big realese, and that's pretty obvious, so dont come here to say Nintendo doesnt care for quality just because a few fillers on a low year were as dissapointed as they looked, because you know thats a blantant lie, every big release this year had quality as always.

So you even include 2 free to play games in your argument? that says a lot already. And what the hell is wrong with a little digital game like Dr Mario? Please... You even count Project Zelo 5, a tecmo Koei game that people like you have been shitting about because they were not going to release it here, but now that is finally out because fans insisted to have it on the west, now is a proof that they dont care about quality just because metacritics gave it a mixed score, awesome. You are trying too hard.

Their bigs titles this year on WiiU were Splatoon, Mario Maker, Yoshi WW and XCX. And all those games were very good and very polished, to expect that every filler Nintendo puts out becomes a memorable game is simply dumb. Now compare that to the amount of  big titles of other companies that fall under expectation over and over and over again, not little games with barely any hype no, big triple AAA games with hype for years becoming mediocre as hell, thats something to worry about, no a few cheap games not being memorable, even on its lowest year Nintendo is still way above others in terms of first party line up.

Trust me, no one's letting Nintendo get away with these games. They are embarrassments, and have done great damage to the reputations of their respective series' and to Nintendo themselves. The fact that these games are basically not selling is of course suitable punishment for Nintendo, hitting them right where it hurts - in the back pocket.

And no, I'm not letting them get away with Devil's Third either. NoA didn't even want to publish it, and as I've said before, they should've just stuck to their guns on that rather than this brush it under the carpet release.

No is not ok, but that does not transform Nintendo into a company that doesnt care about quality. Of course they have released some games of intolerable quality this year, and I'm glad those few get the backlash and poor sales they have. But everything I was hyped about this year has been as good as I expected, the "dissapointments" come mostly from secondary fillers annonced months before release, thats not so bad all things consider.

People will talk with their wallets. So no worries about it. I'm almost sure the three games will bomb hard, so that'll teach Nintendo not to release rushed games to the market, and not to fund rubbish games. At least I hope so. The three games must be an embarassment to Nintendo.
