They shouldn't get a free pass because Nintendo flaked out on HD.

But still, look at Metroid Prime 3, Zelda Twilight Princess, Monster Hunter 3 and Super Mario Galaxy. Technically they'd get a 6 or so: low res, too few polygons. But when you take a step back and only pay attention to how it looks to you.... they suddenly get an 8 or better.
