Well, in comparison, let's take a random sampling of Famitsu scores for some heavily Japanese-targeted games.
Lost Odyssey: Famitsu 90%. Average 79%.
Hot Shots Golf Portable: Famitsu 92.5%. Average 82%.
Ace Combat 6: Famitsu 90%. Average 81%.
Hot Shots Golf 5: Famitsu 90%. Average 81.5%.
Eternal Sonata: Famitsu 87.5%. Average 79%.
Yep. Pretty harsh indeed. :)
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
