@ Chicken Brutus: "it's fact that their other games were not well-received."
Excuse me? Pong Toss sold a ton of units... and I know plenty of people who still play it, despite many negative reviews like the one that you just gave "Incoming." Go Figure! Maybe you have actually done them a favor here. And you don't think a comment like "an all-time low for JV Games" is deliberate developer trashing? I'm glad that Wiiware game players have enough sense to draw their own conclusions, as they clearly did with Pong Toss - instead of blindly following reviewers. Have a nice day.
Very simple. The purpose of a game review is to discuss the pros and cons, and help readers form an opinion. And potentially to save them money by possibly avoiding games that you personally find unworthy of the price. That's it. Aggressively trashing a developer is totally out of line, in my opinion, and the Community Rules of Nintendo Life are clear about "flaming" others and do on. And yet, you seem to be free to do so in your review - therefore the "Double Standard."
"If Incoming debuts higher than Core, I will drown myself."
Not such a bad idea! Incoming seems to be a good fun party game to me, and the simplicity of control feels fine as a casual game. Why such passion to torpedo JV Games, Philip? Were you beaten with a plastic tank when you were a child? Your review seems needlessly harsh, far beyond the civil discussion that Nintendo Life enforces in this blog. Can anyone say, "Double Standard?"

@Gabbo: If you read my first post, you will notice that I say "Pros and Cons"... Cons meaning Bad.

I meant "and so on," typo!
