I will get it as well, it's in my holidays purchase plan. It includes Rabbids go Home, NSMBWii, Assassin's Creed 2, Dragon Age Origins, and Demons Souls.
I...have no idea. They're probably on the take.
Good mix, fun stuff and deep stuff.
Look here, this article was before Bayonetta and NSMB.

Notice anything? Like the fact that Famitsu has now given out nearly as many perfect scores in the last two years as it did in the last 20? At this point, there’s no denying it: Something has changed with regards to Famitsu’s editorial policy on perfect scores — in an instant, it has gone from almost absurdly stringent to positively magnanimous. But why?
So all that money spent on getting good reviews would be better spend in either:
a) More marketing
b) Actually making your product better.
In Famitsu's defense (holy shit what have I become), though, most of those games did get stellar critical reception all across media outlets.
Here is the link.

What I find harder to swallow with Famitsu 10/10s is that there are four seperate reviewers and its very unlikely to get a unanimous verdict like that, no matter the game.
Where am I?
Why do I have a British Flag under my chin?!
Steelattack! Move away from the fridge, slowly!
Well it was a solid game. I remember starting it on a friday night, finishing it sunday, and putting about 25 hours into it in those few days. It was a more enjoyable experience than Wind Waker was.
This man has been exposed to a deadly neurotoxin. Damnit somebody help him.
Yeah, I have those on both cartridge and emulator (Stella and MAME). They are all great fun. No long, boring cut-scenes, overly complicated controls or lame story lines here! It's cool that they have several arcade games on that page too. Crystal Castles is best played with a trackball, but works well enough with the mouse. Adventure was the first game to have an "Easter Egg" in the form of a secret room that had the programmer's name who made the game (back then, Atari refused to give credit to their game creators, so this was an inventive way to bypass that stupidity. That awful policy also led to the creation of Activision, which became Atari's biggest software competitor). Battlezone was the first 3D game that I ever played, and I was stunned by it in the arcade; the 2600 version is also quite good. Yar's Revenge is an absolute classic. I'd put it on my Top 25 games of all time, but that's too much work.
So many fantastic memories just on those few games. Have fun with them, Steel. They're all worth sharing with your kids. 
Yeah, that shouldn't fly. The whole purpose of having separate reviewers is that each one should be able to spot things that others might overlook. The way Famitsu is reviewing, though, seems more like a collective jerk-off than actual reviewing.
That's what I would say if I gave two shits about scores anyway. Scoooooooores!
Dude, you should totally make a special retro podcast with Leo. I would host it, no questions asked. Your knowledge of pre-8bit era is as extensive as Leo's.
Hey Jack, isn't there some dude you're meant to be beating up right about now? Because that bomb's still ticking dude...
LOL Minda_Cubed also liked it more than Wind Waker. As did that ass Pedro.
I am talking about that Mario Galaxy clone, look at the news above.
And if you are taking about Star Fox, NO, just no.
Spoken like a man who never finishes Zelda games

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileI finished Wind Waker.
Yes, just yes.
I prefered its well paced adventuring over Wind Waker's "Gee...I hit a new block of ocean in my sailboat and now I can't move so I have to break out my pipe and play a goddamn song to change the direction of the wind for the 10 millionth time just so I can get to this crappy little island" approach.
I'll do it as long as the three of us are nood!
For you, I am always n00d.
Yay!
