Pretty good for Mario Basket 3 on 3 . Interesting things;

Tamagotchi DS 1 - 29/40
Tamagotchi DS 2 - 28/40

Mushi King DS 1 - 29/40
Mushi King DS 2 - 31/40

-------------

Both are potentially millionsellers, I think. Don't have the magazine myself, so I can't provide you with scans yet, though.

Sengoku Basara 2 (PS2, Capcom): 8 / 8 / 9 / 9 - (34/40) - Cool.
Kouchuu Ouja Mushi King: Greatest Champion e no Michi 2 (NDS, Sega): 8 / 7 / 8 / 8 - (31/40) - Will still sell a crapload.
Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omisecchi Gohi-Kini (NDS, Bandai Namco): 7 / 6 / 8 / 7 - (28/40) - ^Ditto.

Ow EDF Tactics got slammed hard.

Oh, I was just searching for the official Famitsu-thread of the week which always seems to be called "Famitsu #___". You can lock this then, if you want to, mods.

I want Mario Basket 3 on 3, I wouldn't expect Famitsu to give it a good score since basketball is not big in Japan.

The Bit generations sounded fun but more like Mini-Games, not worth spending too much on

True Crime is better than Mario Basketball.

Famitsu reviews.

 

[Bo130]

I actually find it quite surprising that a GTA-like game recieve a 30+ in Famitsu, a japanese based magazine...

is that really a good thing?

 

[jesusraz]

If it keeps masses of kids buying the DS, thus bringing Nintendo heaps more profit thanks to continued Third Party support...then yes, I'd say it's a good thing

Shutokou Battle X (Xbox 360, Genki): 8 / 8 / 8 / 8 - (32/40)

I'm surprised it scored that well... now somebody pick it up for the US!

 

[Bo130]

It's an amazing thing . Strong Third Party support and good sales are the last thing DS need to become all-succesful, IMO.

IIRC, though, MushiKing on DS didn't sell that well. At least not compared to the GBA-version. Now the installed user base is way bigger, and this game seems to be better as well. I'm hoping for the best
