This is the same company whose late President insisted that "people don't want online" at the height of the transition to it from their direct competition.
This is the same company that deliberately kept their hardware designers in the dark all the way up to designing the WiiU console, so that they didn't even know that services like PSN and XBL existed, much less how they worked.
They need someone to urge them forward.
Wow that was fast! Once again the big N dips their toe in the water, gets scared and jumps back.

Gee, what a surprise 
They never should have put it up in the first place if they were going to wuss their way out.

You needed a Nintendo account linked to your system and have played a title you want to review for at least 2 hours.
Edit: Ninja’d
Steam review bombing may be a thing, but did Steam remove the ability to write reviews after review bombs? Nintendo didn't even get review bombed but they're paranoid of bad reviews, or so I would reckon. They must also be on edge about moderating review content, because if Miiverse is any indicator every review would've been moderated to keep out even slightly less than family friendly reviews (or anti-Nintendo reviews, hmm?).
What were you honestly expecting? Nintendo accepting criticism?

No use. It would filter out a few trolls, but it's not worth the time and effort since you need 2+ hours of game time anyway, which is 2 hours trolls won't bother spending.
That aside, loopholes would be found anyway; remember the NSMBU community on Miiverse? That was a regular troll heaven, and I'm sure similar loopholes would be found on the review site had it been moderated in the same way.

Unfortunately it was probably just a concept, they wouldn't hire separate staffing to dedicate themselves to cleaning it up like a forum of sorts.
Ofcourse hence why they have that YouTube program in the first place so that only selected people can review their stuff online and when they do say negative stuff they'll get put on a blacklist and get no more review codes as i've seen many youtubers talk about. Nintendo is all about the censorship and maintaining a good image even if it is synthetic. They've got some criticism and they don't like that so they backed out as fast as they could
funny i said in the other post that nintendo would likely edit/remove negative reviews so that it can keep claiming to the world how excellent they are.
would look like people are being negative towards its old ports and inferior ports and its shovelware so nintendo remove the full feature all together.

I didn’t even have a chance to check this feature out...
I hope it filtered out some types of reviews, like ones where people are complaining they can’t download the game or something like that.

Do it. Name and shame them.
I don't really care that they did it, I'm just curious.
Well, they were partially right. I certainly don't want online instead of couch multiplayer, but if it's in addition to it, I'm all for that.
The problem is that a lot of games these days omit couch multiplayer in favor of online. Couch multiplayer is the best way to play almost any multiplayer game, the exception being games that really need a separate screen for each player like strategy games. But it's not always an option, so it's best to have both.

the fact that something so common these days and nintendo cant do it right.
erm not exactly rocket science that they impliment a review system so nintendo can filter out the spam.
or is it simply the fact they dont like to be told if a game is crap or not..... hmmm sounds just like its fans, cant accept negative opinions.
I don't think that people having to buy the stuff to review it is a bad thing. Why should anyone get free stuff?

it's just in an empty open space, like outside at night or the backrooms, depending on the branch of the hypothetical you either feel unsafe, but you actually are safe, or you feel safe, but are unsafe, also you don't actually know the truth about your safety either way -
