9 is bad?

I am satisfied on my part. That is if it's coming in NA. Otherwise I hope it fails :)

Yeah, because NoE totally deserves to get punished for releasing this game. >_> I'm sorry, but unless you're a Monolith Soft hater or something I fail to see the logic here. If Xenoblade fails it will only hurt Nintendo of Europe, you know those guys that are responsible for this game getting out of Japan at all. The guys that do deserve to fail [NoA] won't take any harm at all. Heck, it would only make their decision more valid, and that's not what we want, is it?

Well, what do you want? Us to hope that a meteor falls in NoA's office?

Yes!

Sorry, I should have specified that I was looking beyond IGN and to game reviewers in general. Many games have been docked points for simply being on the Wii.

Ah. In the grand scheme of it I'm inclined to agree with you to a point. Some titles are treated unfairly for being on the Wii.

I think the ones that get a fair shake are ones that have phenomenal art-style, like Mario Galaxy, Metroid, Epic Mickey, DKCR, etc. The art style makes up for the lack of horsepower. If someone rated a Wii game a 7 in graphics compared to one of those games, I would have no issue with it at all.

Now we just need it to beat Chrono Trigger, and all is well with the World.

In your opinion, what should a game do in order to be better than CT?

Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

"wahhh! They only gave it a seven for graphics! This should have gotten a 9.5, not just a 9!" oh for the love of god stop crying people thats a great score. I admit, its stupid to dock points from a game just because Ninty decided to cheap out on hardware all those years ago, but who cares the game still got alot more praise than hate.
I wasnt going to import, because as far as im concerned, NOE NOA they all fall under the Nintendo umbrella, so importing the game from NOE is still giving NINTENDO my money. BUt screw it, this sounds too good, if i dont hear nothing by years end. Ill probably get it
