Why am I not surprised the OFFICIAL Nintendo Magazine gave it 97%. They probably would've given it 100% if they could, but they have to make themselves a little trustworthy.

DragonFoxCoon said:

Can't say I'm surprised. But, knowing that the game's pretty much complete makes me want it even more.

Nintendoof said:

Well. DUH.

Master Foot said:

Why am I not surprised. Why even rate the game, people are going to buy it anyway.

It does have beautiful graphics *sniff*.

Recoil, the official Nintendo magazine signed an agreement and said they would be 100% honest with every review they give. They gave mario party 8 about 62%.

RabbidDaRabbit said:

@Recoil, Nintendo hires journalists. It's not their prerogative to rate these games. It's the journalist's prerogative to do so.

Yo dawg, even though that magazine is called the official Nintendo magazine, they have always been fair and unbiased with their reviews. I am quite sure, they won't be the only ones in the the industry to score SMG 97%- it will probably score even higher in a lot of unofficial magazines and web pages.

This game's going to be great.

All mario games rock.

Famitsu gave it 9, 9, 10, 10: (38/40) and they are tough reviewers, the most prestigious in Japan. Did you think this game would be crap?

WiiNinja said:

Best Mario game ever.

This games going to rock.

Andrew said:

This game is going to beat super mario 64.

Andrew said:

Move over super mario 64, we have a weener.

Fanboy said:

Just want to say to that Recoil guy that the official Nintendo magazine gave Super Paper Mario the lowest score I'd seen in any magazine, only awarding it 81%. So I guess there's no real foundation to your argument.

Chris said:

I want it, ONM gave TP 97% so this is going to rock.

Turnip said:

Super Mario Bros 3 is the best mario game ever. Famitsu gave mario sunshine 37/40 and that sucked so I hardly think them giving the latest mario a high score is big news.

Beat super mario 64? It will, but from Famitsu's score for SM64, 39/40, they gave galaxy less. Kill them! Nah, I don't think it's THAT bad, but still, I'm going to play Galaxy today.

Quite possibly one of the greatest games ever made. If not the most innovative and all-around awesome! Master Chief meet your demise.

Ultigonio said:

@Turnip: Super Mario Sunshine was excellent! WUT you SAYIN FOO? Though I do agree that SMB3 was/is awesome.

Over 1.3 mil preorders.

wii said:

Well duh Nintendo makes the best games ever and this one sure will not make the Nintendo name bad.

Rabies Baby said:

1up gave it a 9.5, it's odd that they sighted the game being difficult as a negative.

I have played the game (I know it's not out yet, but I went to Gamestop and they let me play it). It is Awesome, the controls are great, the graphics are great, The motion sensors made it perfect.

pcamtz said:

We should wait until gamespot reviews it, that is some biased site. I bet they won't give it over 9, IF they do grade based on /10, I think they grade Wii games /8.5??

SuperMario said:

Gamespot gave it a 9.5 or higher.
