Man, the last valid 40 from Famitsu using their old "strict" scoring system was FFXII. After that, they started selling out their scores for money.

I'm happy to see that high score for Bravely Default, though. It would be great if it sold more than KH3D in Japan.

In my opinion only these games getting a perfect score is justifiable:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo, for Nintendo 64)
2. Soulcalibur (1999, Namco, for Dreamcast)
3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008, Konami, for PlayStation 3)
4. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011, Bethesda Softworks, for Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3) - the first non-Japanese game to receive a perfect score.

 

Not these ones:

1. Nintendogs (2005, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)
2. 428: Fūsa Sareta Shibuya de (2008, Sega, for Wii)
3. Monster Hunter Tri (2009, Capcom, for Wii)
4. Final Fantasy XIII-2 (2011, Square Enix, for Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3)
5. Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012, Nintendo, for Nintendo 3DS)

None of those games are worthy of a 40. Especially the bolded.

What games would be worthy of a 40 in your opinion?

FFX I agree.

Honestly, if I were to critically review professionally. I wouldn't give any game a 40 because that would imply they are perfect. I have yet to play a perfect game. FFVIII, FFX, and Star Ocean Till the End of time are among my all time favorites, but I can't say those are perfect.
