I look at a Famitsu review like 4 IGN reviews.
I don't necessarily think all of the 40/40 games are perfect, but I think that several things have to line up.
The game has to be great and lucky.
If you reverse it, it pretty much means Brawl is gonna be great.
Now, that said, even if it doesn't necessarily mean the game is gonna be certainly great or AAA, it certainly in no way disproves the theory that the game is going to be great, or perhaps one of the greatest games this generation.
So, it seem that most Wii haters have tried to marginalize this score.
However, if you look at the other 40/40 games from Famitsu, and translate them to what scores they produced here in the states, you'll see only Nintendogs by a hair, failed to score a gamerankings AAA, and even Nintendogs scores AAA on gamespot, in one form or another.
Since Melee scored about an 89 average review, and I believe 8.8, or 8.9 on Gamespot, we can almost assume this game is better than Melee, even after you deduct the silly "rehash" quotent that Gamespot will undoubtedly deduct from the game.
I deduce that from a 40/40 Famitsu score, we will not be dissapointed with the final product. That's what started the argument, with all the fanboys saying that Famitsu means nothing and could be completely wrong and not indicative at all of the final product, which is, in my opinion, silliness.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
