It's been more than a decade since I last played Perfect Dark. Other than some multiplayer matches I played with my brothers, I was pretty much done with that game after beating it once. I had fun but I honestly don't remember a lot of the story anymore. 

But again, Perfect Dark wasn't unplayable or broken. It might feel that way if people who are used to today's shooters went back and played it but still. It suffered from issues that intense action games were known for at the time and the reviews reflected that. As for the freezing I mentioned with Turok 2, it was an issue with the expansion pak. Acclaim blamed the expansion pak while Nintendo blamed Acclaim for poor programming. It honestly wasn't that big of an issue. I remember the game only freezing on me once. Although it was a big enough issue to be mentioned in EGM at some point since unlike today, it was very unusual for a AAA game (a definition that has changed over time) to have those kinds problems even if it were minimal. 

So that being said, the scenario you're describing with Zelda U is completely different. Of course the game would get poor reviews for that. If you can't play the game, how could you give it a decent score? However, with Devil's Third, none of this is relevant since that game was built to run on the hardware with the capabilities of Wii U and came from someone who's been known for making high quality action games. It deserves the reviews it's getting.

Also, you claim that I am here just to start an argument when I'm simply disagreeing with how you're looking at things. So tell me why it makes any sense to compare Devil's Third to something completely different like Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival or Mario Tennis U? Like I said, you can't just look at the numbers alone but you apparently disagree with that.

Unfair, I'll agree. "Devil's Turd" might be a little (extra) rough around the edges, but it certainly doesn't deserve to get swept under the rug the way NoA has done. All the while, they're proudly touting the aforementioned low points on the year.

Speaking of Metacritic, MP10 and Ultra Smash are quite close in terms of critical score; 66 to 59 respectively.

Yes, but now look the userscore. One is hated, the other is meh.

I just didn't bother buying either of those games because they don't interest me at all.
I'm just too busy having fun with Splatoon and Xenoblade Chronicles X. :P

I disagree. Mario Tennis has a huge fanbase. When the first one came out on the N64, it was unusual to see Mario in a game like that. Many people were surprised by just how good that game was (and still is). So it is a series with a devoted fanbase. That's why there is some disapponted by how little Nintendo seemed to care about an entry in a series that is usually known for it's unusual high quality.

mario tennis got its arse ripped apart more times than their are tennnis courts in the game.

amiibo fesitval must be so shit cause i didn't even know it esited lol.

I always had the impression that these kind of more casual players don't really own Wii Us, as it's not a hot, affordable mainstream product the way the Wii or DS was. 

Wii U's active player base seems to comprised primarily of Nintendo loyalists.
