Have played a DW style game since the days of early PS2, wouldn't mind some gameplay like that in my life. Should I put any stock in these scores, tho?

Good god no, the 3DS version is dreadful. Don't go near it with a barge pole.

You know that they developed a special anti-fingerprint coating for the shell, right?

One quick swipe and they're gone.
Yes, and I'm skeptical.
I heard similar things about each new iPhone, and the iPad.

I'd always wait to hear what the consensus is. Looks pretty good, though. Hard to find impressions for it.

SF4 got the same score than on PS3. Good scores all around, can't wait for detailed review of PES.

Are you confusing Layton with Puzzle Bobble?
Of course nop :lol

I'm not saying it's a bad review, just giving everyone love for Layton, four 8 is a little disapointing, just look at all those 9 and 10 from SSFIV, Nintendogs+cats and even Samurai Warriors! In the charts prediction thread Layton is the second 3DS game, and it only has the 4 to 7 best review from Famitsu!

Cats ruin everything.
Lack of cats ruins everything!

Wait a minute...those Famitsu scores are real? You have got to be shitting me. I initially thought it was a joke post.

Yeah, gonna need more explanation than that. Does it run badly? Does it have horrible load times? Is it rubbish because it's a Warriors game (in which case it's not rubbish to me at all) or is there something especially off about this version?

I know Famitsu scores are not something to take stock in but they generally don't rate software that's broken in some way with high scores. And I'd say 9,9,8,8 is a solid score.

Yeah, of all the Japanese launch games, this is the one I'm most interested in in terms of coverage, reviews etc.
I already have SSFIV and Ridge Racer preordered for the UK launch, but Pro Evo, although I love the console versions, I need more info on.

Why would you do that? said:
To add to this, it was one of the very few games to ever get straight 10s from Famitsu, and because of it, a former Neogaf mod allegedly went berserk and changed all the thread titles to Nintendogs-themed titles.

Someone must have a screen cap of this?

Is Ghost Recon:shadow wars not coming out at launch? Looking forward to impressions on that and Ridge Racer before deciding whether to buy.
 
By the way, Nintendogs kind of deserved perfect 10s, judging by how massively popular it was and how it still remains in like the top 10-20 best selling games of all time. It was pretty well-built, had a decent amount of content and had very broad appeal.

It wouldn't get perfect 10s from forum polls, but it's not really our demographic, is it?

Why yes! A former member gained the password to one of the mod accounts and went on an incredible Nintendogs spree.

Some bits of Famitsu reviews found there: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/290361/news/first-nintendo-3ds-launch-game-review-scores/


# Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition: 9, 8, 8, 9 [34/40 - 85%]

"Graphics are good. The 3D versus option is a show for the system's 3D, but it can be a bit hard to see. The touch controls are convenient."

# Samurai Warriors Chronicles: 9, 9, 8, 8 [34/40 - 85%]

"There's a lot of volume, and the missions are enjoyable. The 3D makes it easy to grasp enemy position. The game's real time simulation elements are enjoyable."

# Winning Eleven 3D Soccer: 8, 8, 8, 8 [32/40 - 80%]

"The game is lacking in terms of modes, but the standard modes are there. The feeling of distance and closeness is increased because of the 3D depth. The text is a bit hard to see."

# Puzzle Bobble 3D: 6, 6, 6, 6 [24/40 - 60%]

# Nintendogs cats: 10, 9, 9, 10 [38/40 - 95%]

"The fur is realistic and the wireless elements are good. The game can be enjoyed by anyone."

# Ridge Racer 3D: 8, 8, 7, 9 [32/40 - 80%]

"There are few modes. Beginners can easily drift, but the rival car difficulty is high. Good points include the BGM and the inclusion of many old courses."

# Combat of Giants Dinosaur 3D: 6, 6, 6, 5 [23/40 - 57.5%]

# Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask: 8, 8, 8, 8 [32/40 - 80%]

"The puzzle solving doesn't use 3D too much, but investigating a screen with depth feels good. The game is enjoyable in 2D as well."

# Shanghai 3D Cube: 7, 7, 7, 5 [26/40 - 65%]

# Super Monkey Ball 3D: 9, 8, 8, 7 [32/40 - 80%]

"The gyro-based controls don't fit with 3D. Playing with the gyro controls is fun, but when the 3D is turned on for this, it's a bit difficult to play."

I have a feeling somehow that you won't be getting one from him :)

Edit: Nintendogs day on GAF was fucking awesome. Those thread titles still crack me up.
