Was it a good idea to release Opoona so close to Mario Galaxy.

 

[reilo]

You guys are so short sighted.

Mario Galaxy is the hardcore game from Nintendo. While Nintendo still provides hardcore games for hardcore gamers, they can't possibly get Famitsu to hand out two 40/40s.

I won't say what will get a 40/40 this season, but I think you all know what to blame anyway.

We all know what will get a 40/40 and that SMG didn't. Personally, I think that's a dead on shame.

WWE 2008 Smackdown vs RAW
2008/2 - THQ Japan - PS2, PS3, 360, Wii
if anyone cares

 

[sprsk]

On a side note, it would be crazy for Namco to release the new idolmaster without some crazy ass movie editor.

Warhawk...
Those Famitsu guys from the Japanese PSN store videos seemed to be having a great time!!
I guess the violence was too pointless or something.

AC6 > Warhawk? Really?

Really simple explanation: (I haven't played AC6 myself, but...) AC6 is made in Japan, pointed mostly toward an eastern audience with the western audience as a tack-on. Vice versa for Warhawk. It's pointed toward more of a western audience, not so much Japan.

Anyways, take these scores with a grain of salt. Don't freak out about it. EGM gave bad scores to AC6 apparently. It all evens out.

 

[Oblivion]

If I recall correctly, Famitsu didn't even give Mario 64 a 40/40. No worries.

More like AC6 has a single player.

Not that I disagree AC6 > Warhawk. AC6 isn't even out yet so who knows.

New Idolm@ster Live For You!

 

[3rdman]

I was going to say WOW and then I realized that this was Famitsu. Might as well be a review from Play...

 

[Jonnyram]

Houkago Shonen (After School Schoolboy)
Konami, 2008/1/31, DS, Adventure game

Set in Showa 50 (1975), in a town in the countryside.
Boy finds out he is moving to far away in a month's time.
Nostalgic adventure game with lots of famous songs from that time.

 

[reilo]

More like AC6 has a single player.

And that's why Warhawk is $40 and not $60...

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Idolm@ster Live for You! (X360, Bandai Namco, undetermined date)

* Switches things up; you're now in charge of and judged on coordinating members, clothing and props, music for her live performances.
* Packaged with original animation DVD and remixed song versions
* Completion 60%

Damn, I was hoping for a PS3 announcement.

At least the PS3 is region free so I could actually play the damn game.

 

[Dali]

Smash Bros.
Wii Fit

Place your bets ...

Forgot all about Smash Brothers - The Wii's last hope.

Nintendo may actually have to release more than one main title featuring a mascot... or resurrect Pit.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

On a side note, it would be crazy for Namco to release the new idolmaster without some crazy ass movie editor.

You know what would be even crazier, a USA release.

:lol

 

[Pachael]

You guys are so short sighted.

Mario Galaxy is the hardcore game from Nintendo. While Nintendo still provides hardcore games for hardcore gamers, they can't possibly get Famitsu to hand out two 40/40s. So, Nintendo's priorities being what they are, they decided to get famitsu to 40/40 some other game.

I won't say what will get a 40/40 this season, but I think you all know what to blame anyway.

I blame Wii Fit. Oh wai-

 

[sprsk]

If I recall correctly, Famitsu didn't even give Mario 64 a 40/40. No worries.

M64 was a 39
MG is a 38
MS was a 37

 

[DECK'ARD]

If I recall correctly, Famitsu didn't even give Mario 64 a 40/40. No worries.

Mario64 - 39/40
Galaxy - 38/40
Sunshine - 37/40

 

[TheGreatDave]

Oh well, Famitsu. Turning Ami is probably the equivalent of getting those 2 points.

 

[voodoojohn]

was famitsu around for smw?

 

[SupraDarky]

Can't wait to see why 2 reviewers gave MG a 9.

 

[HAL_Laboratory]

M64 was a 39
MG is a 38
MS was a 37

They gave New Super Mario Brothers a 36/40.

 

[edwardslane]

I was going to say WOW and then I realized that this was Famitsu. Might as well be a review from Play...

How long could it possibly take you to realize it was famistu, when it says it on the title of the thread you clicked??

Nice Score for mario and ace combat 6

 

[Hcoregamer00]

was famitsu around for smw?

Famitsu was the the main reason behind EGM's founding, they wanted to have an "American Famitsu"

They have been around for a DAMN long time.

 

[carlos]

It may just be the famitsu reviewers got killed by invisible tanks and pwnd online, that's why they scored it low? (Warhawk)

 

[Smiles and Cries]

damn you Famitsu oh well this means Wit Fit will get a 40/40

 

[Hcoregamer00]

It may just be the famitsu reviewers got killed by invisible tanks and pwnd online, that's why they scored it low?

That happens all the time in Mario games.

 

[Jigsaw]

would be fun if ratchet & clank manages it to get 39/40 (or was it already reviewed by famitsu?)

 

[Oblivion]

M64 was a 39
MG is a 38
MS was a 37

So Mario Galaxy had to take the bullet. As I said, no worries.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Famitsu was the the main reason behind EGM's founding, they wanted to have an "American Famitsu"

wait isnt the Famitsu name taken from Famicom in a way?

 

[Jonnyram]

So, basically Twilight Princess > Super Mario Galaxy

 

[icecream]

Damn, I was hoping for a PS3 announcement.

You lack love.

 

[explodet]

Wonder Years - The Video Game!

 

[DECK'ARD]

Can't wait to see why 2 reviewers gave MG a 9.

"I like the colours. Jumping feel good! Make me sick ;_; 9"

"Planets very pretty! I like flying. GAF will hate me. I will laugh 9"

 

[Enk]

Can't wait to see why 2 reviewers gave MG a 9.

They didn't have childhoods.

 

[I AM JOHN!]

They gave New Super Mario Brothers a 36/40.

Famitsu is biassed against Mario confirmed?

 

[angelfly]

wait isnt the Famitsu name taken from Famicom in a way?

Shortened version of Famicom News

 

[carlos]

That happens all the time in Mario games.

I'll overlook this remark since the defendant is so innocent and pure

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Smash is a a shoe in for a 40.

 

[Grecco]

Awesome Mario Scores. Cant Wait. 2 Weeks to go

 

[Aeana]

I know there are a few Ys fans here,

Spring 08 - Ys DS (Interchannel Holon)
Spring 08 - Ys 2 DS (Interchannel Holon)

from the Famitsu release list. Let's just hope these aren't as crappy as the Taito PS2 remakes.

 

[Michan]

It should have got at least 40.

 

[Oblivion]

So, basically Twilight Princess > Super Mario Galaxy

What? Didn't both versions get 38?

Also, SSBB has no chance in hell to get a perfect score from ANY major reviewer, awesome as it may be.

 

[3rdman]

How long could it possibly take you to realize it was famistu, when it says it on the title of the thread you clicked??

Nice Score for mario and ace combat 6

Clearly I was being selective in my attention for the sake of comedy.

 

[Jonnyram]

Damn, I was hoping for a PS3 announcement.

At least the PS3 is region free so I could actually play the damn game.

Why not just buy a J360? A core costs about $245 from Nov.1.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

well I guess they are in line with the scores they give major Mario games so meh

as long as it scored better than NSMB

can't wait for the Japanese sales on this one Oh boy :lol

 

[Twilight Princess]

So, basically Twilight Princess > Super Mario Galaxy

please no
