Create (Wii) – 5.0

Donkey Kong Country Returns - 8.5

Interesting scores. I thought Golden Sun and Donkey Kong would get higher scores, and Ghost Recon would get lower. Also surprising that of all games, DJ Hero 2 and Nine Hours are tied for highest scores of the month at 9 each. Sadly, no Disney Epic Mickey scores. Really would've liked to see if that turns out any good.

Yes from a Nintendo publication.

Pixel Art can be fun.

Nintendo Power gave Golden Sun: Dark Dawn an 8 ~ http://www.nintendoeverything.com/55563/

The review for DKC: R is rather strange. They said a negative for the game is "...DKCR moves at a slower, more plodding pace than NSMBWii, and DK's hulking frame makes his movements less sharp and precise than Mario's."

O_o since when has Donkey Kong ever moved at the same pace as Mario... it wouldn't make sense.

Nintendo actually stopped publishing Nintendo Power a few years ago.

But I wouldn't have expected DJ Hero 2 to score higher than DKC from anybody.

Yeah, the new Future US Nintendo Power is pretty tough on reviews. In fact I don't think they've given any game a 10 since switching hands (Galaxy 2 got a 9.5)

But you know what this means? Sonic Colors (9.0) >>>>> Donkey Kong!
