Well, why only take it down now?

And why release it in the first place? 

Hype, and clicks to their pages. I think the reviews will be up the friday.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

True. Nothing quite like getting hits than releasing an early review for a huge game, right?

@Boutros- You sure? It says N4G, or is it linking to another site?

Right. Also, Boutros is correct, it's 4News.it

It seems I didn't read correctly the title.

N4G is simply a news aggregator.

They don't actually review games.

Cool, I'll change it in the OP and the thread title then :)

I don't know who 4 news is, but they are one of my new favorite websites! :P

But they only gave it 97%! Obvious bias

Gamepro Germany sucks for having an exclusive review, so no other magazine this month has one. Their Skyward Sword score really isn't bad and you people should know from their Xenoblade Chronicles review that they aren't exactly big Wii fans. Just look at it as an outlet that tried to find as much negative stuff as possible, so 93 is truly outstanding.

In somewhat related news, the German magazine M!Games gave Super Mario 3D Land a score of 88 which is by far the lowest one they have ever given a 3D Mario game. Although admittedly, handheld games in general score a few points lower than console games. For reference, scores for previous 3D Mario games were: Super Mario 64 (96), Super Mario Sunshine (93), Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 (95 each).

Gotta defend GamePro, IIRC correctly, they called Xenoblade "the best RPG of this generation on any platform".

And honestly, the jagged edges and somewhat muddy textures got to be good for something if You are going above the 90 mark :)

If that game had AA and sharper textures it would probably have been 95+

I doubt it. The graphics aren't THAT bad when you play it, infact, they're pretty good for a Wii game. 

AND, if the graphics were better, it probably would have cost more, and wouldn't be as big, so not only would the increase in review scores be a slight increase, it also probably wouldn't be released over here. So, I'm fine with the game as it is
