besides, the best thing to go by is the average review score the game receives, rather than just gamespot's score. some people act like gamespot is somehow a 'special' authority on gaming and like it's opinions carry more weight than anyone else's. i really have no idea what they base that on. when you read impressions of the finished product, the overwhelming majority are extremely positive. the bioshock and zelda reviews clearly show that gamespot reviews can be overly harsh and not in line with most people's opinions.

i doubt it will be flopped. all signs indicate this will be a great game and solid AAA title. nintendo has been working on this game for a while and has had plenty of time to fine tune it and make sure it is up to standard.
