I guess Mario Galaxy will be reviewed next week, bah.

And nice score on FFTA2. What'd the original Advance one get?
 
I can believe the FFTA2 scores.

It's so weirdly GBA-ish...it's as if they didn't want to even attempt to utilize the DS' functionality.

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
I'm kinda surprised at some of the scores, if it wasn't Famitsu I'd actually take them with a little merit... maybe.

Damn @ those Minna no Bass Fishing scores, I can't remember the last time Famitsu gave a 3 to anything

PS3 Megazone 23 got 4,3,4,4 on week of September 5th, 2007.
DS Love Cat Life got 3,6,4,5 on week of August 22nd, 2007.
PS2 Simple 2000 Vol 120 got 3,4,4,3 on week of August 22nd, 2007.

I don't know if I've ever seen a 2 or a 1 though, and that Simple 2000 Vol 120 is one of the lowest reviews I've ever seen for sure.

Quoting myself to add something about Famitsu reviews;

After a little bit of research, it looks like 14/40 might be the lowest Famitsu review ever. Simple 2000 Vol 102, Appleseed EX, and Simple 2000 Vol 120 all have it. Anyone know of a lower score than 14/40?

Seconded. I'm going to be pretty surprised if that FFTA2 score turns out to be accurate, but maybe Famitsu's among those types who enjoyed the GBA game.

Looks like no all-new games as such, but there is info on other stuff:

White Knight Chronicles
PS3 / SCE / unknown release date
- a third knight introduced - Dragoon
- like other Level 5 games, the mixing pot is back. this time it's huge.
- scenario seems to proceed in a quest-based fashion (very MMOlike)

Soul Calibur Legends
Wii / BanNam / 13 Dec
- Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia is in the game

The Small King and the Promised Land
Wii / SqEnix / Mar 2008
- takes place after FFCC story
- King is still young so can't fight
- so residents are chosen to venture into dungeons instead of the King
- King Leo has a mysterious ability to build, and he uses that to build the houses and taverns for the people

- Lloyd in Soul Calibur? I wonder how the different art style is going to fit...
- 13th December for Soul Calibur... Sounds like Nintendo is giving 3rd party a chance in December with no "game" being released (Wii Fit being a non-game).
- FFCC: Small King and Promised Land sounds like it can be fun.

I need this game to magically appear underneath my pillow when I wake up tomorrow. I hope they reveal how the online quest mode works (if they're really going to implement it).
