Great score for Mario Kart, should help keep momentum pretty well for another couple of weeks at least.

Lul. More content, better visuals and performance, worse score. No wonder BOTW got 97. Less is more.

Devastating scores for Wonder Boy.

Damn straight. A Famitsu 7 is like a Sterling 3.

After watching the new battle modes on youtube (including something akin to cops and robbers) this version of Mario Kart 8 has definitely fixed the biggest (and only) glaring hole from the original... Honestly, it seems just about perfect as far as kart racers go.

I'm quite excited for it lol

Why do people think it's weird? It's pretty much the standard. Next gen remasters usually get worse scores than the original despite being a better game. Mostly it's because they don't add enough new elements, the price is too steep or it's poorly optimized (as in the new console is able to do a much better job).
Skyrim Remaster got a Metascore of 81 after the original got 96.
CoD4 Remaster 83 after 94.
Bioshock Collection 84 after 96 for B1, 88 for B2 and 94 for Infinite.
etc. etc.
