Nintendo Power actually reviews games they don't just stuff Nintendo propaganda down your throat.  Everybody has a right to disregard whichever reviews they like but I think if you look at their track record they are by far the least biased of the console affiliated reviewers and are in many cases less biased than even the some of the non-affiliated reviewers.

With that said, this is a good start, but it is only a start.  Once we start getting scores from other places we will of course of have a more clear picture. And since the game is not releasing for another week yet there is of course no reason not to take into account these upcoming reviews if you are still on the fence with this game. 

It's nice to see MP get a 10/10 but I put as much stock into this review as I put into the official XBox magazine review of Bioshock before seeing other reviews.

 ...Yet it still won game of the year from GameTrailers.

This is just disgraceful, if it were a playstation magazine giving heavenlysword a 10/10 all of you people would be saying it doenst count since its a ps magazine.

On topic: Its a nintendo magazine, but good start.

Must be good then...

A Nintendo Power review of Metroid is as reliable as Ronald McDonald's review of the new McGreaseball.

*waits for IGN review*

As others have said Nintendo Power is fairly fair in their reviews. To the extent they rate Wii games higher than average I think it's similar to IGN where they don't have self-proclaimed hardcore gamers on a campaign against the "fad" rating Wii games. As for the 10 I'm not surprised, MP3 caused even EGM/1up reviewers to sing its praises after playing it. That's pretty impressive.

Er... it's Nintendo Power... I would prefer to know what the review said about the game, than the score.
