Thanks for the update!

Off to a good start for me but I got 2 risky predictions coming up with been the only one to predict 1-2 Switch to get in the 80's and the second highest for Bomberman at 83 will either be a great boost to my points or cost me what I already have :P

Yeah Bomberman seems to be a wildcard to me. I feel like I'm playing it safe by going 75 but for all I know it could be a real stinker and Konami has just been hiding it really well up until now. OR it could be a real gem, I just don't know @_@.

 

Also if you're feeling unsure, you could always change your scores before the reviews start coming out!

I'm kinda happy with them as they are :) As you said I think Bomberman will be somewhat of a coin flip whether it's a hit or miss with the critics, Konami has been getting a lot of stick on gaming forums which could lead to harsher reviews from critics but they could really put out a great game with Super Bomberman R, I'm kinda biased though as I love Bomberman series so gotta be optimistic on this one :P I was a massive fan on Act Zero on the 360 even though critics slammed it big time :( Had some great battles in multiplayer which got rather intense at times :)

1-2 Switch is a weird one as well that could really swing anywhere from a 50-90  imo and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a bunch of each positive,mixed and negetive reviews on metacritic depending on which reviewers each site give the copy to review to and such as if they just play it between 2-3 people in the office or actually take it and play with their families etc, Also the mindset they take into playing/reviewing it with be a big factor as going in with a pure gamer mindset will likely see them give out lower reviews where as having an open mind and reviewing it as a family/party game with potential to bring in adifferent kind of aucience could yield high scores.

Coming close to the point where Switch launch games are ineligible for predictions. Make sure to get any you're missing in before it's too late!

In related news, since Zelda has started to get reviews, its no longer eligible for predictions.

Hmm, it seems that my Bomberman prediction will be too high. I was tempted to change it some days ago but I preferred to wait...



Tagging again to see how 12Switch scores.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Mario Sports Superstars reviews have started coming in at 69 with 8 reviews so far, I wasn't expecting to see them yet with a release of 24th which is it's US date but its actually out 10th March here in Europe :)



Yeah Sports Superstars came out of nowhere

Tomorrow will be a week since the Switch launch, so I'll be taking down the final metascores for all of the Switch launch games, including Breath of the Wild.



Looks like I underrated BOTW and overate everything else...

"Did you guys expected some actual rational fact-based reasoning? ...you should already know I'm all about BS and fraudulence." - FunFan, VGchartz (2016)

The verdict is in, here are the final logged metascores for the Switch launch games & Mario Sports Superstars!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (NSW) - 98
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U) - 94
Mario Sports Superstars - 66
1-2-Switch - 57
Super Bomberman R - 63
Snipperclips - Cut it Out, Together! - 82
Fast RMX - 79

Unfortunately it seems like a lot of people (including myself) were off on many of these predictions. I'll be updating the charts sometime this weekend to reflect how close everyone's predictions were and also new point standings :)



Seems like Zelda scores are changing

Zelda Switch 98 -> 97
Zelda Wii U 94 -> 96
