Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Around the Network

Metroid: Other M = 80-90% ~ Not sure about this one because we know little about it which i why i have metaranking expectations so open. It could very well go over 90 though, we'll just to wait and see.

Arc Rise Fantasia - 70-75% ~ High scores will come from those who find it charming and appreciate it for what it is, but it'll get a flood of 60's from reviewers who wont find anything "fresh" about it, cannot get round the graphics that aren't as beautiful as the likes of Final Fantasy 13, criticize slow pacing and will be turned off by potentially bad dialogue and voice acting.

Monster Hunter 3 = 78-83% ~ The simple fact that the Wii cannot emulate an online experience comparable to that of the X360 is what will bring this game down the most. I can see the 7.5 from Gamespot already, slow gameplay and Wiimote controls will also be on the list of cons by most reviewers.

Sin & Punishment 2 = 80-85% ~ I expect generally favorable reviews, but the difficulty will really knock off some points, maybe also the fact that there are light gun games on the Wii.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 = 91-96% ~ Honestly can't wait for reviews of this one. Most high scores will be retained, but there WILL be those who will rate the game lower than the original for being "The same game" or "Nothing really new" and other such foolishness. Potentially high levels of difficulty may also play a part, but i wouldn't really expect to see that much, the former reasons though will definitely appear in moderate numbers. Quote me on this.

Tales of Graces = 79-84% ~ Similar reviews to Tales of Vesperia for the X360, those who didn't really enjoy that game will be exactly the same with this one. It'll gain points for not being a disappointing, low-budget spin-off like Dawn of the New World, but may lose some points for being very very long. I'm not sure how RPG specialists (such as RPGamer) will find the battle system, i believe they'll either love it or hate it, and that will be the real decider on their scores.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom = 80-85% ~ As I've said in other threads before, relatively simple gameplay, unknown characters and unimpressive online will keep the scores from even approaching the likes of Street Fighter 4.

Epic Mickey = 60-80% ~ Basically, Epic Mickey will either be a fairly good game, or it will be total crap. No one is going to be pumping out sky high scores for a mickey mouse game on the Wii with the exception of Nintendo specialist reviewers. Let's hope i am wrong.

Red Steel 2 = 73-78% ~ Removed multiplayer is a big downer, the original game also wasn't very good, an improvement it may be, but reviewers will expect far too much from it, and their scores will reflect this.

No More Heroes 2 = 84-87% ~ A minor improvement over the first will not turn the haters into lovers. Those who gave low scores for the first will hand out a similar score... or not review the game altogether. Motion controls also stop this from reaching 90%. Fortunately, those who loved the first game are bound to enjoy this one even more, so it will definitely outscore its predecessor, which in my opinion makes this game a real winner.



How technical is your game?

I really hope those Onions from AV Club won't give a low score to Mario Galaxy 2 as they did to Spirit Tracks and New Super Mario Bros Wii -_-

I noticed they were most of the time giving low scores to Nintendo games, those idiots

Seriously their name aren't kinda professional...

All Wii games drop for about 4 points when they are adding their review in Metacritic

I don't get it, that game is already reviewed, already at 85.  Why do so many people expect this to jump up to AAA?

- Galaxy 2: 85-95 (it will be criticized because it's a sequel, thus not as original and fresh as Galaxy 1. 1st Party Nintendo games especially seem to really get criticized for that, *a lot*, while other -mainly 'hardcore' HD games- don't, at least not as much. I don't get this. If a game's considered brilliant, people shout out for a sequel, then when they get that, they whine and say it's too much like the original. However when they DO get a sequel that's innovative, they whine it's too different from the original. This happens a lot, and that's one of the reasons I hardly pay attention to 'professional' reviewers' opinions anymore).

 It's a fair complaint of Galaxy 2 though, from what I've seen. It doesn't even look like they've added much dramatically different, just a few new costumes and yoshi for certain bits. I've no real problem with this, as the original is absolutely amazing and all I want is more of the same, but as someone who writes reviews for a website - it is obligatory to mark a game down for being 'more of the same', as I feel only truly great games (9.6+) are those which are fresh and innovative.

 I've never really seen a bias towards PS360 games in this sense more then Nintendo games.

 Capcom vs tat-i-dont-know-what-that-is is headed to 90+ too, I'm actually tempted to get it. Wish it was on my PS3 though >_>.

 

You jusst decribd Uncharted 2 perfectly. Outside of the new story, it was nearly identical to Uncharted 1. Same exact style, same exact menu format, same exact trophys, same exact menu music! same guns, same level structure, same EVERYTHING. It just dressed it up a little nicer and had more variety in the levels, and bam 10/10s everywhere. Nintendo really is the only company who gets criticized for not having innovative games.

A few other examples of games that have scored fantastically for doing absolutely nothing new.

GTA 4

Halo 3

Gears 2

Modern Warfare 2
