Is that a fail for SM3DW? I'm not sure what Mario's usual Famistu scores looks like.

A fail? Really? 38/40 is equivalent to a 95 out of 100! Mario 3D games usually make the 90+ cut (SMG+SMG2 are just perfect scores)

Galaxy got a 38/40 from famitsu. And Galaxy 2 got a 37/40.

Not that I find their scores useful.

LOL. The first western game that earned a 40 from them was Skyrim. I mean wtf? And they gave Skyward Sword also a 40, still better then Skyrim but also no 40.

Good news then.

What did they say about Lightning Returns? I remember them giving FF13-2 40/40 despite it being mediocre so LR must be hella bad. Still buying it day 1 :^)

They rate games too highly anyway though, nothing to get excited about.

No. They gave Demon's Souls 29/40 and that game has a 89 metacritic score.

3D World just adds the doom. Good for it I guess.

Nah, that's a good score. Not that I trust Famitsu of ourse.
