BWii gets a floppy score from Nintendo Power

Fire Emblem: RD - 9.5
Geometry Wars:G - 8.0
BWii - 7.5
GHIII - 9.0
Zack And Wiki - 9.0
Guilty Gear - 8.0

Ouch. Sounds like another game taken off the Christmas list. Even Nintendo "We give 10s to everything" Power didn't like it. :shock:

Hate to break it to you, but this is the first month Nintendo Power isn't being published by Nintendo... they sold it.

Hard to say if these scores are like the old ones...

Thank god!

Useally sequels are atleast better than the first game.. and in this case the first one was very good!

It's already in effect? I know they eventually switch over to Future Publishing (the same guys as OXM) but I didnt know it was that soon. I'd expected a phase out period for the rest of the year.

Well, that said, what about those people who said OXM always rates Xbox 360 games super high? Really, those people need to make up their minds. If they were so biased towards Xbox 360 games, wouldn't it mean they are biased towards Wii games?

So does that mean you will be getting Fire Emblem, Geometry Wars, GHIII, Zack and Wiki, and Guilty Gear Accent Core fo Christmas?

They don't give 10s to everything. In fact, they were one of the few sources that didn't give OoT a 10.

Actually?

Metroid Prime 3 and Resident Evil 4 are the only 10s that I know about.

OXM, while I'm not saying it's biased towards MS, gave Bioshock, Halo 3 (I think?) and Call of Duty 4 10s in a matter of months. Their old scoring system (hey... sounds like GS) never gave a 10, but when the .5 increment started, so did 10s. Though, I think there are only five 10s so far. But maybe the three aforementioned games were good enough to warrant three 10s in such time...

Anyone know how many games got 10's in Nintendo Power?
GundamGuy0

If i remember correctly the answer is...

1 - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

though RE4 may have gotten one?

yea RE4 got one. and thats all on the current rating system.

I would like to see something of the review, not just the score.
The scores never really say much by themselves.

3 AAA and 2 AA and all you can focus on is the one A.

Ah, alright. Hmm, going to be trying that one out when it makes its way onto shelves.

Hey, sheep wanted it to do better, though PhoebusFlows is probably far from a sheep...

He is also trying to express that this "biased" magazine didn't give this game AA or higher, so it's bad news or something.
