So it's got both local and Nintendo Network multiplayer? This game is sounding better by the day!

Nice review, although I'm a tad worried about how it's mostly getting eight out of ten reviews.

Yes, there's definitely a worry of advertising dollars affecting review scores and what not, it was bad enough that I remember one writer getting fired from Gamespot due to giving a heavily advertised game a bad review.

But I don't think it's generally as much of a problem outside of the big gaming news sites and print magazines to be honest. I mean, I don't trust Gamespot, IGN and others like them at all, because they're fairly likely to be paid off in at least some way. But for a site like Nintendo Life, I doubt they're being told what to write or influenced too much by Nintendo's marketing team.

And hey, any bias a site like this has is normal, it's a fan site about Nintendo. Of course they're going to be all positive about Nintendo franchises, the writers likely grew up playing them up and are fans of the games.
