You're right, my comments are a total contradiction and out of line. Nintendo Life does not deserve to be disrespected in such a manner. My apologies.

I guess I'm just really disappointed with the reviews for Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash as it appears that Nintendo has blatantly rushed the game out (to fill in for the lack of Star Fox and Zelda... obviously!) and put no effort whatsoever into making it the best game it can potential be.

And I really hope that Nintendo isn't putting any pressure on Nintendo Life to delay their review score for the sake of an additional star or two.

I really don't mean to question the integrity of this website. Nintendo Life is a great site and even though it is solely a Nintendo-based I have always believed that the staff don't allow their love for Nintendo to cloud their judgements.

Unfortunately though, there's a darkside to video game reviews and advertising/sponsorship with is difficult to ignore...
