Forums - Nintendo - Could Zelda Wii or Super Mario Galaxy 2 get 100/100 on Metacritic.

Even if a reviewer thinks one of the games is worth 100%, that reveiwer might feel like being contrarian.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Not for a sequel and Zelda would have to be one hell of a reimagining inorder to rate that high. Galaxy was praised because it was so groundbreaking and if Zelda can match that (highly unlikely, it just is) then maybe it can match GTA4.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

No...Galaxy 2 would get lower scores for being a sequel, even if it is a better game. Something like Majoras Mask after Ocarina of time (I'm not saying Majora Mask was better, I really enjoyed both, but they "seem" almost identical).

Livin' in sin is the new thing.

99% for Zelda, not that it matters, but that's what I say it will get.

I say it will be the greatest Zelda ever created (Even better than OoT and ALttP, which is almost impossible) that's my prediction, so reviews should reflect that.

You have really high hopes.



No, so far the closes is OoT with 99, no chance that game gets topped.

I'm going to say flat 90 for both, hoping to be pleasantly surprised =)

I'm sure they will be great games, but OOT had different circumstances that helped it get the review scores it did.

I think it will be in the mid 90's nonetheless.



I game.  You game.  We game.

I'm a videogamer, not a fanboy, but have a special place for Nintendo.

With ZELDA definitivley YES!!!

SMG2 will be below than the first one.



MY ZELDA COLLECTION

In order for either to happen.

The reviewers have to either think the game is worth 100% or deserves it (the latter seems to influence reviews more these days).

Any animosity towards the Wii in the gaming press has to be overcome. And it's not just me that's claiming it. Naznatips has stated this from personal experience.

No reviewer feels like being contrarian.

Well, we've already moved to scores past 100 (since that one site gave Arkham Asylum a 930%), so by then, 100 will be the new 10

 

:P



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Sure.
