Famitsu Gives Smash Bros. Brawl A 40/40!

Recommended Posts

As if you couldn't be any more excited for Super Smash Bros. Brawl: NeoGAF has scans from Famitsu magazine that show that the game has received a perfect 40/40 review score.

 

The four reviewers praised the lengthy single-player mode ("you forget the time") and the "surprising" Final Smash super moves.

 

Yes, it's generally agreed upon that Famitsu scores, and the vast majority of other Japanese magazine coverage, are mostly determined by the exchange of money or other considerations that fall outside of independent editorial judgment.

 

But Famitsu only very rarely gives this score out, and historically it's only been to one game per console. This is only the seventh 40/40. The others went to The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, Soul Calibur, Vagrant Story, Zelda: Wind Waker, Nintendogs, and Final Fantasy XII.

 

Point is, no matter how this score came about, this is an excellent sign for Smash Bros.' chances in Japan. Note that the review text still carries the original ship date of January 24, meaning that the delay must really have been a last-minute decision. Speculation on NeoGAF that Nintendo couldn't produce enough copies of the game to meet retailers' unexpectedly high pre-orders would suggest that this one is going to explode out of the gate.

As a side note, if you're not familer with the Famitsu magazine, you should google it, they are usually Highly reliable.

Ah! I want to play this game so much but I don't have a Wii. This is probably the only game that I'd really want to get the Wii for.
