I wish that would be the standard. People review games, not websites.

Waluigi will probably get some shine whenever Nintendo decides to make a Wario Bros. game. There have been quite a few sing Wario games in the past, but it doesn't look like Waluigi was playable in any of them.

Maybe I'll add that in later today if I get some time. It's a good idea.
Edit - Went ahead and added the authors for all reviews in the OP (except one, which I haven't been able to find yet). Moving forward, any review threads I make will include each review's author, alongside the site they reviewed the game for. My apologies for not doing this sooner.
Man, Kohler was pretty positive yet still quite harsh on the game.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Why for Pete's wouldn't one want to 100% a puzzle game? Because they've seen the epic story's finale? Because they've topped the leaderboards?
Haha you don't have to apologize dude, hardly any one else does it yet either. Good lookin out though!
Cool, thanks. Totally missed this during E3.
Oh come on... they definitely don't "shit a game in a year". EAD's various teams (especially Tokyo) often use gameplay experiments that have existed behind Nintendo's closed doors for years in their latest games... sometimes such concepts have existed for decades in prototype form.
It's not really fair at this point to compare other developers to EAD Tokyo. Their well from which to draw from is unparalleled. It's what makes them godly.
Nintendo never starts from scratch these days because they're never willing to throw away a great idea that they cannot yet execute.

This is reminding me of the South Park SOT review thread. Can't wait to play this!

Reviewing about like I hoped, so that's nice. Can't wait, game looks like just about my speed for the end of the year.
pretty solid plan, as that's when the game comes out.
If you're interested, Mario vs. DK traces its origins back to DK '94, one of the greatest puzzle platform games ever. The series then starts on GBA and has continued to the present. The Wii U eShop game will be the first console game in the series.

Looks like Nintendo have done it again. Will definitely be buying this when it is released in UK.

Control issues? What control issues could this possibly have?

In some of the more intricate or faster-paced levels, the play mechanics and interface aren't quite up to snuff. It reminds me a bit of Metroid Prime — brilliant at a leisurely, puzzle-focused pace, but clumsy as an action game. This is especially true of stages that involve heavy use of touchscreen mechanics, such us spinning valves or tapping to shift blocks; a full decade after the DS introduced us to the folly of such things, game designers are still expecting players to switch control modality between buttons and touchscreens in an instant. And it still sucks dick, yo.
Are people actually excited for Devils Third? Game looked like garbage at E3.
Cool about Starfox though, hope that comes out and is really fun.
Yep, the Toad levels on 3d world got so annoying after the second one.
fun garbage, cautiously optimistic

Great reviews. Another quality game for the collection.
Opinions, dude. I don't care about that game, but there are people listening everytime Itagaki talks about it here on GAF. I'm talking about games, and 2015 doesn't look like it will be 2014.2, where we had 3 Wii U games from January until the end of September.
Fair enough man. Sure hope so for the single console owners out there. I will say that 2015 looks stacked for all consoles not just Wii u.

OT suggestions:
-White 'Shrooms Can't Jump (But They Sure Can Run)
-He's Our Hero!
-The Legend Continues
-White 'Shrooms Can't Jump (But They Sure Can Run)
-He's Our Hero!
-The Legend Continues
Thanks. I'm aware of the series, just didn't know a Wii U game was coming out. I have the last game on the 3DS and DS before that, etc. DK '94 still probably reigns supreme though.

Hell yeah they are. I'm psyched for this game. Waiting until after Christmas to pick it up just in case it finds its way to me via a Christmas gift, but I'm excited either way.

Yup. Just what I expected - great game, but isn't jaw-dropping. It'll be pretty fun! Good job, EAD.
I won't be there Day 1, but I'll definitely pick it up at some point.

So, you hate the concept, but would find more value in it if it did more of what you hated...
Maybe this game just isn't for you

Boy are you wrong.
I can see why I didn't like it and some others did. I can also see an inherent quality to price tag. I don't see $40 value in a game with 100 levels of similar length to what was in 3D World.
Do you get what I'm saying?
If you didn't like the concept of the original, why are you so invested in the reviews of the game that they made out of a concept you got so tired of?
Still interested in how it performs since it is a pretty different step from Nintendo's previous development style. Smaller games coming out more often for less money etc
I want to buy this game so much, but Nintendo won't release it in Brazil. I don't want to import it either. In fact, this move pissed me off so much that I'm considering to stop buying Nintendo games for a long time. We don't even have a Wii U eShop yet, and I'm not supporting them by creating an american/canadian account to buy digital games. It's ridiculous.
The fuss over the price is funny when you take into account people paying above premium for broken games with zero complaints.
.
Indeed. I hope you appreciate how good it's critically performing then.
Still don't agree on the pricing but whatever. Baby steps
