Famitsu loves Zelda!

[GameKinG]

10 / 10 / 10 / 10 = 40/40

3 other titles that have ever recieved a perfect 40/40 from Famitsu: Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64), Vagrant Story (PS1) and Soul Calibur (DC).

And this is the Main Famitsu.

Wow... wow.... wow!

Who wants to go burn the "Celda" haters at midnight? *grabs pitchfork*

In fact... that did better than PDO, didn't it? Wow. :D

[GameMaster]

That's enough to convince me to buy this.

Now before I pre-order...

Is pre-ordering the only way to get the bonus Majoras Mask and Ura?

If yes, can I reserve or pre-order anywhere or does special offer only apply to certain retailers?

[GameKinG]

1) You dont get MM. You get OOT and "Master Quest" which is a slight different version of OOT.

2) As of the moment, any retailer that gives out pre-orders will give you the disc. I dont know if you must buy it after the 'official' pre-order start date, but EBgames.com seems to promise it for pre-orders at anytime.

[GameMaster]

So you can't get it with a regular buy?

[GameKinG]

Well, I imagine you could if supplies last.

[GameMaster]

I'm not going to take the chance. :D

[Dyne]

Well, I hope I can find a place that does Pre-orders... last time I reserved Metroid Prime at Microplay, it didn't arrive until a WEEK after! I got fed up and bought it on the 19th at a different place. I'm not making the same mistake twice....

I wonder where my local EB is...

[Blackmane]

Damn, a perfect score is damn near impossible.

First Metroid, now this. This is almost too much.

I really hope Nintendo really advertises the high scores it will inevitably get or else people may stay turned off because of graphics...

I'm glad I pre-ordered my copy at EB already. :)

[bobcat]

great.

Not that it matters coz I was gonna buy it anyway. Awesome review.

Wot did Metroid Prime get on Famitsu? :confused:

[Angrist]

Metroid Prime isn't out yet in Japan. I think.

Woa 40 for Zelda: WW! :D If this can't convince ppl, I don't know what can! :roll:

And I really hope they do the bonus disc in Europe too! :(

[BlueFire]

Awesome! I can't wait to get this game! :D

[Shadow_Link]

Heh, I wonder where all the zelda haters are now (of the toon-shading).

I guess those impressions about LoZ:WW being one of the best games of all time weren't bogus!

This game will rock!

Edit:

Here are the impressions from famitsu, translated by ikachii of the IGN boards.

Grade: 10

"A level of astoundment that exceeds even that exhibited by the previous "Ocarina". Despite being a completely new and ground-breaking work, it's amazing how this title managed to retain everything that defines 'Zelda' to begin with. If you're looking for a new plane of visual expression in games, one different from both photorealistic and anime styles, it can be found right here. Also features a unprecedented depth of story and adventure within the series that takes place across an ocean. To sum up: this title is 100% zelda, and is an absolutely must-play title."

Grade: 10
"Utilizing tone rendering as a catalyst of visual expression of sorts and combining it with the highest quality gameplay, game environments and production values, a a miraculous chemical reaction is created with this incredible title. It makes you realize once again that video games truly are the most superior form of entertainment out there. Whatever you do in within the game, it doesn't fail to entertain you in some way. Trust me when I say you won't fail to fall in the love with the world presented within this title."

Grade: 10
"Any pangs of anxiety you might have in regards to the anime-like presentation of this game will vanish once you play this title, which will leave no doubts in your mind that this is truly Zelda. The emotions of the various characters come across with an unbelievable level of realism due through eye-based movements/expressions, and there are times when you'll find yourself extremely affected and even on the verge of tears. With a perfect level of difficulty in regards to both the puzzles and battles, this title rewards you immensely for playing it!"

Grade: 10
"Whether it be the in-game events, puzzles, or presentation, you'll find yourself experiencing a range of human emotions from puzzlement to amazement. Everytime you pick up this title to proceed onwards in your quest, you'll discover an increased level of excitement. I swear to god I felt like a excited child picking up a videogame for the first time when I played this title. The new setup that allows even those who have never experienced the series to immediately feel right at home gets a huge thumbs up from me."

Zelda haters deserve to die!!!:D

Since I already have Metroid Prime (good game btw), this should be an interesting buy

i have to see if i can get it preordered at eb

can you do that online?

[Jason1]

After reading those grades, it seems to me this game will be everything Zelda should be. Incredible gameplay, Goregous graphics, but possibly most of all, the game actually pulls you in. The only time I was ever close to tears in a videogame came in OOT, when Link leaves the forest. If this game can truly deliver stomach lurching scenes like that, along with everything else they mention, and the great sound and zelda music to boot, who knows, it could pass up OOT as the greatest game ever, IMO.

and if only 3 other games have ever recieved perfect scores from Famitsu, this simply once again proves that The Legend of Zelda is the best Action/Adventure seires ever created, and that Nintendo is the best developer in the world.

[Crono]

Damn, I can't wait for this game. It is one of my most wanted titles, and I'm definitely going to pre order it to get the special campaign discs.

[Null]

this game is literatly the reason i bought my GC for. i coulda bought my GC and this game and i'd of been happy.

id like to get the other zelda games too.

and BTW. i keep seeing in ads for Electronic Botique.... they show Zelda, LTTP/four swords.......... for gba, AND GC.

i never knew this game was comeing to GC, if it is i'll get that too. just cuz my LTTP on SNES doesnt work :(

I totally, 100% agree with the whole of your post.

[Jonbo298]

I was already going to buy this game, but after reading that Famitsu gave it a perfect 40/40 I think this game will be the biggest contender for game of the year NEXT year (in the US). Unless Rockstar pops out yet another GTA game. But even that doesn't match up to the greatness of Zelda IMO.:D

[Crono]

Magus:

go to http://www.ebgames.com to pre order and buy games on line. it also happens to be EB's official website.

[GameMaster]

Wait, shouldn't Metroid Prime have been released in Japan before the U.S.? :confused:

It was developed by Retro... aren't they based in Texas or something? Normally games that are developed in a certain country are released in that country first... I think... or something...

Unless the game is Metal Gear Solid 2...

Oh yeah, Zelda... uhhh YAY R0X0RZ I've had it pre-ordered since April or May or something so whatever... I better get my special pre-order bonus stuff though :mad:

Shiggy purposely made it that the US got MP before japan to kinda make it more fair cuz we didnt get zelda when japan did. so i'm guessing they'll probly have MP about the same time we get zelda, or possibly before we get zelda cuz i hear there isnt too much text to translate in MP.

[GameMaster]

You're wrong about that. You scan many, many things and everything you scan comes with information regarding the object. This game is full of text, not in-game, but its still there.

Exactly. No other games developer comes close to the quality of Zelda. It's in a league of it's own.

But as Null said, I bought a Gamecube basically for Zelda, and Mario (and Mario Kart).

With Metroid Prime, and FF:CC on its way (for Australia), the GC rulez

[GameKinG]

LTTP isnt going to cube. EB made a stupid mistake in the ad, putting the GBA thing in a photoshoped cube case.

Yea I saw that AD im EGM I believe. I knew it was a mistake...anywho, you guys say pre-ordering Zelda from EBgames.com should get you the bonus disk, but will they send it out sepratley? Im thinking people who do that will get screwed over, becuase they will be too damn cheap to pay the shipping charges for the bouns disk when it is avaliable, AND the actual game on its release...

[GameKinG]

Its either you get it when you pick up the game, or you get before but you cant can the pre-order after you get the disc.

[Angrist]

I'd just wait for the local dealer... :)

Damn right skippy............Mario Kart is sh!tz......forget what
The Game thinks about MK, he has no taste for real manly games all he does is play sports. ;)

[Bad Religion]

hey, is there a Mario Kart out
or coming out for gamecube? i'm getting
my cube soon, and hadn't thought about
MK.... that would be great

[Angrist]

They've confirmed that they're working on it.
No release date has been given though.

[Mushlafa]

ok... this actually gets me pretty excited... not that i care too much that it got a 40/40 from a highly respected source that generally doesnt give very many perfect scores... I was gonna get the game anyway tho.. love zelda.. the music makes me happy :).. jus thinkin bout it makes me wanna play OoT speaking of.. happydude... dont you have mine :unsure: that i won from survivor

[Dyne]

Hmm.... IGN finally has the japanese copy of WW.

I don't give a damn if they love it or hate it.....I know I love it and that game hasn't given me and my friends some fun times or N64...and I want to recapture that feeling with the Cube.....so bring on the Mario Kart!!!!

[GameKinG]

Yeah, I know that mario kart 64 really got my aunt and uncle into video games. But they act like children anyway...

[Angrist]

:rofl:

Too bad I never got into Mario Kart. I don't even have it! :eek:

I should buy it and play it with my bro and 2 sisters. :)

I wanna know what IGN gives it. Gotta be a 9.8 or 9.9! *hopes*
