AWAY, Culdcept DS Score High in Famitsu, Wii Music Starts Strong

By Adam Riley 17.10.2008 4

The latest Famitsu review scores are in, showing off positive marks for both Mistwalker's AWAY and SEGA's Culdcept on DS. Check out the Nintendo-system scores below:

  • Away: Shuffle Dungeon (NDS, AQ Interactive): 8 / 8 / 7 / 8 - (31/40)
  • Nazo Nazo & Quiz Ichi Kotae Jikkon Q Mate! (NDS, Konami): 5 / 6 / 5 / 5 - (21/40)
  • Culdcept DS (NDS, Sega): 9 / 7 / 8 / 9 - (33/40)
  • Yattaman DS 2 (NDS, Takara Tomy): 7 / 6 / 6 / 7 - (26/40)
  • Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces (Wii, Bandai Namco): 8 / 8 / 8 / 8 - (32/40)
  • Daikaijuu Battle: Ultra Coliseum (Wii, Bandai Namco): 7 / 8 / 7 / 7 - (29/40)
According to first day sales leaking out of Japan, the Ace Combat Team-developed Sky Crawlers for Wii only sold 3,000 units on its debut day (25% sell-through of initial stock). Culdcept DS sold 35,000 units (48% sell-through) and Nintendo's big Christmas hope, Wii Music, started quite well with 50,000 sales on its first day, which is only 15% of its initial stock, leaving room for it to expand considerably over the weekend, similar to how Wii Fit did when originally launched.

Sad news for Sky Crawlers Smilie, i wish it manages to sell well in the long run, cuz' it's a game that realy deserves it, with a lot of effort put in the visual presentation, which is too rarely the case on the Wii.

Not exactly sure, but it was above 30/40 I think. Perhaps something like 32/40.
