Blimey. Only four other games have been given perfect scores, and they were Vagrant Story, The Wind Waker, Soul Calibur and Ocarina of Time.

Should be good.

And no way in hell Soul Calibur deserved a perfect score.

would this be famitsus april fools? :o



I don't see how what looks like just another damn tamagotchi could rate a perfect 10, unless you get to abuse / kill your virtual pet in a myriad of amusing ways, or is nintendogs not what I think it is?

Didnt Famitsu give Meteos something like 38/40? I fail to see how that game deserves that. It's a good puzzler but it's nothing Amazing. And Wind Waker is by no means perfect.

And Nintendogs is what you think it is Dr Wily. An excact copy of the semi-popular Cats & Dogs series you could get for your PC.
- Take your dogs to different places
- Groom them
- Feed them
- Play with them using a selection of toys
- etc. etc.
Additionally there are 3 different versions of the game with different breeds of dog, because why put everything into 1 game when you can charge people 3 times for essentially the same product?

There are only 2 reasons why this got 40/40:
- Famitsu arent as accurate/harsh as urban legend makes them out to be
- The Japanese love virtual pet things, to the point where lots of Japanese mobile phones even have a virtual pet built in.

Rule #1 of the internet-

You must allways talk as if you know the game even if you haven't played it.

I know very little about it other than it looks like just another tamagotchi, hence my bemusement at a perfect score in famitsu.

Also please note there are 2 famitsus, one crap one that gives 35+ marks to pretty much any old crap, and one strict one that basically slates anything that isnt amazing.

I still dont know which of the famitsus gave that score or much about the game :dontknow:
