Could payed them in SNES Classics and 3DS XL's instead of money.

 

[Majukun]

A non perfect score from them for a mario game basically mean that it's shit.

no 3d mario got a perfect score i think..maybe mario 64?

This is the highest score for a 3D Mario game.

So you would have to hire new reviewers for every game

Of course not. You simply perform minor invasive surgery of one reviewer’s limbic system so they cannot retain the memory of ever playing a video game before.

For the other three, you just make sure they know their place and stay in line.

It’s quite simple.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Not 40? Must be terrible.

 

[Strings]

What's with that Strange Journey score?

Kind of unsurprising tbh. Pretty unnecessary version.

There's a quarterly Nintendo investors meeting coming up really soon. Expecting going third party to be the main discussion.

Thank God, because this is absolutely embarrassing.

 

[Azelover]

Switch saved.

BotW can count as a WiiU score. We haven't reached the peak of Switch just yet.

 

[DarkConfidant]

Wow, it’s only a little better than FIFA.
Time to sell Nintendo stock

 

[unrealist]

I am appalled by this review. Cannot believe the really poor non perfect score that will be really bad for sales. I am sure Amazon and most sites are facing unprecedented traffic due to the cancellation requests. Mario has traditionally done and played well on Nintendo consoles. With its due return to a Nintendo console, this is really bad news. Really poor showing from the developers and undermining all our expectations.

Could it be problems with the team? Maybe a morale issue? Or leadership/management problems, even superiors predating on juniors? Nintendo has to come clean on this. Or perhaps, the lack of loot boxes as an option for richer players to save on time and progress faster is a fatal flaw which they need to rectify on future games. They have to realise life is never fair. Or it will be the end of the Mario bloodline. It will probably sell 1% compared to all mainline Mario games in the UK alone.

I expected maturish ond open world concept Mario to meet with doom and gloom and there.. the review has proven it that 2D Mario with a single jump button or tap to jump (easily adapted to mobiles with IAPs to unlock levels). There is also a lack of option to choose a gender or skin color (to alter difficulty) - cmon this has to be an option in every game, to play as a female or black. I also heard from a friend of a friend wjo works in Nintendo that the cartridge scratches itself when inserted into the Switch's slot. The thumbnail on the homescren is also of a reddish tinted hue, which is glaringly wrong. Definitely deserves its poor review score from Fatmitsu.

This is not just a problem with Mario Odyssey but Nintendo and Mario as a whole.

Should we even still have threads about Famitsu when there are multiple reports saying they are corrupt and untrustworthy?

wow @ the consistency of this franchise!

The other game makers wish!!!!!!

 

[Majukun]

You know what, I had a brainfart. It should read "the outrage over this score doesn't make sense". You are right, *theoretical* reviews could potentially benefit form such a system. Especially if different gamers (like you described) reviewed it. This has to be reflected in the actual review/text, though. Scores are just numbers.

of course

I guess most media outlets don't have the time to let all their staff review one game.

yeah,it's probably way too specific and time consuming to be done on a regular basis, but i would actually give a shit about reviews again if someone starts doing this...especially since most of the time my taste doesn't allign at all with the average review.

[hotcyder]

Wow, it’s only a little better than FIFA.

You can't even play against Real Madrid in Super Mario Odyssey (at least as far as I'm aware - I guess it had to get that extra 2 points from somewhere)

Nice.

wario confirmed?

 

[Majukun]

So you would have to hire new reviewers for every game

the one about the guy who has never played a said genre would probably wear thin after a while, yeah...maybe just do it with the first 3?, fan,hater and the "meh" guy..sound like enough of a perspective

 

[DecoReturns]

3D mario will one day get its perfect.

Zelda laughs at Mario's attempts.

 

[BanjoLayleeYookaKazooie]

Should we even still have threads about Famitsu when there are multiple reports saying they are corrupt and untrustworthy?

I mean I'd like to think this thread at least should be A-OK, Super Mario Odyssey will be fun I think, no misinformation going on here.

 

[Little Mons†er]

3D mario will one day get its perfect.

Zelda laughs at Mario's attempts.

meanwhile, nintendogs is sitting on a perfect throne of 10s and laughs at all

 

[shimon]

Was expecting 40/40 but that's still great obviously.

So it's just as good as Final Fantasy XIII

Clearly

 

[jayu26]

...but not perfect!

Hopefully my copy ships on time.

 

[Spukc]

39/40 from Famitsu? Flop confirmed.

Clop fonfirmed

 

[KHlover]

That's okay, after all it's just an SP game with tacked-on 2P functionality. No Mario game without 4-player coop deserves a perfect score.

 

[-shadow-]

So when are they going to publicly apologize and restore their honour? I mean, we're all experts here, we know it'll have to happen!

 

[amodelmerol]

Super Mario Oddisey will win GOTY everywhere

At least Persona 5 beat it on this

 

[Egida]

Game is dumpster fire trash confirmed.

Spoiler

Can't wait

.

 

[mavericktopgun]

That's actually higher than the scores they gave to the Galaxy games.

Galaxy: 38/40
Galaxy 2: 37/40

Seems like Famitsu staff aren't quite as enthralled with 3D Marios as much as the rest of the world is...

This should be in the OP

 

[Vanillalite]

So it might be the best as 40/40 scores are all marketing shill. So 39/40 means it's actually top dog.

Spoiler

j/k

 

[Kyzer]

the one about the guy who has never played a said genre would probably wear thin after a while, yeah...maybe just do it with the first 3?, fan,hater and the "meh" guy..sound like enough of a perspective

You also might as well nix the guy who hates the games like why is he even reviewing games. It would be a total waste, they could have their own channel instead and it would be awesome. You could hire my dad and call it angryoldmanreviewsvideogames and he would hate everything and talk about aspects of games in terms of "this is how they get you"

 

[ToysAndMoreClub]

At least it seems to be on par with Mario 64. Both games got a 10/10 from EDGE and a 39/40 from Famitsu.

 

[RRockman]

I guess the check bounced?

 

[LordOcidax]

The game already have 4 10s, 65 more to dethrone BOTW....

Spoiler

Jk

 

[Hideki Kamiya]

wtf I hate famitsu now

 

[bill0527]

I'm more intrigued that Forza 7 managed 36/40 from a Japanese magazine. That's the real story here. We all knew Mario would be perfect or damn close.

 

[ggx2ac]

Thread title should've been:

Super Mario Odyssey gets not-perfect score from Famitsu.

 

[Im_not_that_talented]

39/40? .. It's fine, I guess .. It could've been so much better.

 

[aza]

This is it Nintendo.

You are finished

 

[Peléo]

Surprised about Famitsu's track record on 3D Mario. Wonder what the reviewer who gave it a 9 raised as issues.

 

[tkscz]

wario confirmed?

That's obviously WaLuigi

 

[LordOcidax]

Surprised about Famitsu's track record on 3D Mario. Wonder what the reviewer who gave it a 9 raised as issues.

Saving that spot for Odyssey 2.

 

[KooopaKid]

Highest reviewed 3D Mario game from Famitsu...
In the meantime Famitsu has zero credibility...

 

[slorelli]

A 97.5%....flop confirmed!

 

[Lupercal]

Mario getting a high score?
I'm shocked!

It'll get in the high 90s as to be expected but will eventually be overrated like BotW.

 

[Wiped89]

God, reading this thread is hard work.

39/40 is fantastic. Between this and the 10 from Edge this is going to be a great game.

 

[jariw]

It'll get in the high 90s as to be expected but will eventually be overrated like BotW.

BotW is underrated. Any MC below 110 is too low.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

That's what they get for giving the Sunshine guy another chance...

This is my favorite so far 😂
