It's been evident for years now that a 40/40 from Famitsu means that the developer has deep pockets. They throw a curveball at you such as smaller titles like 428 and Bayonetta once in a while in order to throw you off. People might make fun of IGN and other Western critics being paid, but apart from their obvious bias for western developed games it's not as evident as some of the underhanded stuff that goes on between Japanese developers and Famitsu. I can't speak in regards to Dengeki though.

Also this isn't a stab at Kid Icarus, I have it preordered already, this is a stab at Famitsu. They need to calm down with those perfect scores, far too many are from this generation. Though it could be argued Kid Icarus is next gen.
