Famitsu gave Kid Icarus a 40/40...

While the score doesnt hold the meaning it once did (they have given more than double the perfects the last 5 years compared with the history of the magazine, and to questionable titles lol) I gotta say my interest is now peaked.

Sakurai now has to perfect games under his belt the other being Smash Bros.

I may have to pick this up for my birhtday...Or win it in the contest

If scores are getting inflated recently it's because the view of the rating system is out of control. Nowadays gamers won't buy a game rated a 7 or lower, when a 7 is actually supposed to be a pretty decent score. To give good games their credit I think reviewers now have to bump up the scores. Some gamers won't touch anything that isn't a 9 or 10, it's ridiculous.

I digress...I have been guilty of this myself.

Back on topic. I'm surprised it got a perfect score. Wasn't expecting it even produced by Sakurai. Time to make this only the second game I've ever preordered. The first being Super Mario Galaxy.

Triz, I thought you hated Smash Bros. Shouldn't that make you further doubt the game's quality?

That's a good question. I should bring Brawl to Triz's house one day and find out.
