Nintendo Reviews | Latest Famitsu Scores

By Adam Riley 16.11.2006 16

The latest reviews are now available from weekly Japanese publication Famitsu. Only three DS games were covered this week, but at least two have the potential to be big hitters.

Don't know. But that's no downfall. Does Bungie makes other games beside the 3yearly Halo?

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Well, they've been doing it since 1993 I think. If I was employed there I would be pretty sick of Harvest Moon right now.

They're a publisher, Natsume make Harvest Moon.

Marvelous also publish stuff like Contact on the DS and Heroes on the Wii.

They are the joint parent company of Rising Star (Joint with the company that distributes Nintendo in Scandinavia who's name escapes me), who publish some of their stuff in Europe.

You probably never hear about some of the stuff they publish only in Japan.

They're also very friendly with Nintendo.

i thought Suda 51 made Heroes on the Wii and grasshoper manufacter made contact on the DS, in fact i am nearly sure of it.

The Scandavian distrubtor is something along the lines of Belsrik something like that it has slipped my mind.

To be fair Marvelous have made great strides in games industry and are as Grumbler said very good to Nintendo

Oh and Suda51 is the nickname of the main bloke at Grasshopper. Both games are made by Grasshopper.

Ah right, replace Marvelous with Natsume then.

Oh right that has cleared a lot up.

Why don't they just stick with one name the silly willies

There's nothing wrong with doing a trilogy one after the other.

Have Famitsu reviewed Yoshi's Island 2 yet? Maybe I missed it... I saw that Gamespot gave it a 9.1. I was expecting a bit more I guess, but it's still awesome

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society

It's got 84 on Metacritic, with mainly the Ziff Davis duo pulling it down and Gamespot up the top.

Christ Phantom Hourglass is out soon, I'd completely forgotten about that.

Marvelous has stacks of DS content: Ys Strategy, Luminous Arc, Harvest Moon DS, Harvest Moon DS for Girls, Harvest Moon Island, Lunar Genesis, Contact...just to name the ones I can think of off the top of my head Smilie

Great to see Boktai getting such a strong score...but I'm really losing a LOT of faith in Famitsu reviews. I disagreed with the average Kirby review and feel the same about their views on Castlevania: PoR (it's the best one yet, imo) Smilie
