A- is like 85% isn't it?

No 90%

A is 95%

A Plus is 100%


Only in a scale where 7 is average. When being rated in reviews, a 5 is average, thus, Nintendogamer is closer to the truth.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Don't get this. From what I've seen, 1UP ranges from APLUS (damn it vgchartz!) to D- and all that's in between (I think that's 12 positions?), so I don't see how 'A-' could translate as 85%.

Regardless, metacritic has translated it as 91%

Ahh wellI 91% is better than 85% ^^ so I hope they keep it that way.

The reviews for this game have been excellent thus far.  I think GameSpot's 8.5 is the lowest I've seen.

I'm kinda surprised, because Kirby has always seemed like a somewhat underrated franchise in the past.

Go Kirby!

Gametrailers currently has the lowest-scoring review at 8.4. I wouldn't really call that a bad thing, though.

For some reason I fear this game can end up having a bad rep like Super Mario Sunshine has. I hope it doesn't, though I have this feeling...

It's getting good consumer reviews on amazon.co.jp so I expect 130K First week, even thought I'de like it to do more.

130k FW? You mean WW? Because no.

In Japan I meant, it should do 230K WW.

I say 300k WW (including EMEAA sales).

I'd say 229k without EMEAA.

Edit: The Japan Preview is expecting it to do 40k more so I'll up both of my predictions by 40k.

So I say 340k WW (including EMEAA sales).

And I'd say 269k without EMEAA.

But that is at least.
