Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
It’s an annual tradition for Metacritic to share its publisher rankings, and we now have the results for 2022 – which includes news about Nintendo.
You may recall that in 2021, the company ranked at #14. This year, Nintendo moved up to #12. That’s not a huge increase, but it’s a bump nonetheless.
Nintendo’s average “Metascore” for 2022 releases, which is based on reviews factored into the site, sits at 78.6. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was the Big N’s top-rated title of the year, and Bayonetta 3 and Splatoon 3 also did well. However, Metacritic notes that “over a third of Nintendo releases last year failed to impress reviewers,” including Pokemon Scarlet / Violet and Nintendo Switch Sports.
