Gamespot - 9.0/10

Negatives:
- Nothing

 

[balgajo]

Gamespot - 9.0/10

Positives:
+ Wildly imaginative level design
+ Effortless controls
+ Loads of challenging extra content to discover
+ Gorgeous, colourful visuals and a catchy soundtrack
+ It's Mario in a cat suit!

Negatives:
- Nothing

Then, why not a perfect score?

 

[Oersted]

Greatness Awaits.

For the players.

"This is Mario like you’ve never seen him before, and unlike so many of his next-gen rivals, he nips along at an effortless 60fps. If the true measure of new hardware’s worth is how stark the difference is between it and what came before, then this is the most next-gen game that 2013 has yet produced."

They must of thought using bowser and multiplayer as a negative was so silly, that they left it blank.

[Deleted member 125677]

Not at all surprised at all the perfect scores! Come on 29th!!

 

[hiro4]

They also gave a 10 to Kirby's Return to Dreamland, for context

And rightfully so. That game is amazing.
Cleared that game from start to end like 3 times with my son.

 

[GCX]

EAD Tokyo has mastered the art of making video games.

A different person did.

EDGE 9/10

This is Mario like you’ve never seen him before, and unlike so many of his next-gen rivals, he nips along at an effortless 60fps. If the true measure of new hardware’s worth is how stark the difference is between it and what came before, then this is the most next-gen game that 2013 has yet produced.

Impressive.

My god these reviews! I can't wait much longer!

Man nintendo is taking no prisoners this friday, two games both among the highest rated of the year. Their output this year was god tier, back against the wall with guns blazing.

"They" is two different reviewers. Jim Sterling (known for his somewhat controversial reviews) did Kirby's Return to Dreamland. Granted I haven't heard of Carter, but I somewhat doubt he'd have give Kirb:RtD a 10.

 

[crisdecuba]

A colleague of mine posted a review for GameSided. 9/10.

I had a hard time getting through this review due to the writing style... It started with this:

Nintendo has attempted to reinvent Mario in various ways with previous titles that have been released but has been unable to fully accomplish their goal. The status quo can only go so far in the franchise, and Nintendo has finally come to realize a slight change was needed to reinvigorate Mario and friends on the console.

And didn't get much better the rest of the way...

Jeuxvideo.com (French): 17/20

Negatives:
- Camera issues, especially in multiplayer mode
- Too easy

 

[Eyothrie]

Nintendo World Report 10/10

 

[Downhome]

Could this be the best reviewed game of the year?

 

[Apenheul]

This game is gonna be a stinker. Every bit of new footage looks like Knack levels of uninspired design. So disappointing.

Bookmarked from the "play together commercial" thread.

Wind Waker HD...

EDGE firing those shots:

If the true measure of new hardware’s worth is how stark the difference is between it and what came before, then this is the most next-gen game that 2013 has yet produced.

Now just lay back and watch the fanboys fight.

 

[Always-honest]

Wow.. Dat reviews. Well done Nintendo.

 

[Outtrigger888]

It seems the impressions in some of the reviews are better than their scores.

 

[paradox121]

Kotaku - YES

Super Mario 3D World is a terrific video game. It's just not a very good Wii U game.

Ugh. I get what he's trying to say but this argument constantly drives me mad. It's a good game on the Wii U. Therefore it's a good Wii U game. I didn't buy the console expecting every game to fully utilise every aspect of it.

It's like saying Galaxy wasn't a good Wii game because all you did was occasionally waggle.

 

[Heretic]

This Friday is going to KILL my wallet. At least it's pay day Friday! Woooo!

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Reviews are so good GAF can't handle them.

EDIT:GAF downtime dun goofed me up.

 

[Kyzon]

Then, why not a perfect score?

That is a perfect score from Gamespot as far as Wii U is concerned.

They give everything else an 8-8.5

 

[Zalman]

The Metascore is 95 right now.

 

[King_Moc]

Great reviews, not really surprising though. The last time a 3D Mario wasn't my goty was Sunshine in 2003.

 

[Sadist]

Based EAD Tokyo. You glorious bastards.

Meanwhile, at SpielerEins house...

 

[Grakl]

GameStop 9/10 is an 11/10 for Nintendo.

 

[greycolumbus]

Wowowow. I need this in my veins.

 

[zroid]

dammit where's the low outlier? i want to see meltdowns, people! this just isn't fair.

I guess the missing point is in another castle?

 

[UNCMark]

Welp. Headed to Target later to pick up either a Zelda or NSMBU bundle. Already sick of my PS4 launch games and have no interest in the Xbox One. You win this round, Nintendo/Mario.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Impressive.

Oh...my....god....

The hype....the hype.

 

[Doogdogg]

GameStop 9/10 is an 11/10.

Gamestop?

One of them need to change their damn names.

 

[schuelma]

I was going to try and hold out until closer to Christmas.

Not gonna be able to do it.

 

[GregLombardi]

dammit where's the low outlier? i want to see meltdowns, people! this just isn't fair.

Ironically, The Escapist is the lowest score received so far.


In other news, SIGH....I guess I have to buy this game! R.I.P. wallet.
