The game is like almost twice as big now  as it was when it released on Wii U with the extra tracks and new battle mode. If the gameplay is still seen as good as some years ago (which would be only then not the case if other games would have done it better) I can absolutely understand some more points in reviews. It even changed gameplay a little to the better.

Not sure how other people have such a problem to believe that these reviews are honest and deserved and not bought or whatever.

That's poor logic. An effect doesn't have to be universal to be relevant, it doesn't even have to be the majority. A multitude of others variables can come into play, e.g. both the games you bring up are downports, while P4G and MK8D are upgrades. There's plenty of room for debate, but that's a poor basis to mockingly dismiss discussion.

Can it beat the last of us remastered though?

Doubt it. Will probably settle at around 91-92.

If it finishes 92 or higher it'd have to be considered a major critical success.

I consider every game above 89 a major critical Succes.  But I want to know if it can beat the highest rated exclusive remaster. It's really close so I guess it can actually beat it.

My point was that *he* brought it up without consideration for other variables as a reason to dismiss the score when numerous other logical explanations can be put forward.  The game includes all DLC plus new content, it won't have been reviewed by the same individuals, etc.  Saying that portability causes a net boost to game scores seems like a very trite and half baked rationale for dismissing a score someone doesn't agree with.  And as pointed out by others, very few reviews bother to even mention the portability as a positive.  And as otjers have also pointed out, plenty of ports have retained their high scores by just paxkaging all DLC together and polishing the visuals.  Thats what MK8D did and then added new content to boot.  Content that the original game lacking was a major complaint.

Gotta be honest, I was expecting a worse score than the original. 93 is very surprising...don't think it will get lower than 91 at this rate, unless it gets trolled. 

You just sold me on that being the explanation, thanks!

I fail to see how bringing it up is "dismissing a score". As i noted to someone else, while i think portability is a logical point of discussion (if there was absolutely no net positive to something being portable, then the Switch wouldn't have a reason to exist), it's not a criticism. If it improved the experience for some critics, then it's a valid point of praise. It's just that MK8's score jump is an anomaly compare to the overwhelming majority of other remasters, remakes, and ports. We already know everything that's in the game, and yet even many Nintendo fans are surprised. Discussion is naturally going to turn to how we got here, and portability is one of the obvious places to start.
