Click on to find which Nintendo titles stole the top three spots in the Top 30 and how Famitsu reviewed Eternal Darkness.
According to the latest Famitsu, "takuto" in the title "Kaze no Takuto" refers to the baton that an orchestra conductor uses. As a result, like its predecessor Ocarina of Time, music will probably play a role in this game. It is also very likely that the Baton of Wind is an item in the game just like how the Ocarina of Time and Mask of Majora were in their respective games.
Nintendo grabs the first three spots in this weeks Top 30 in Famitsu. Star Fox Adventures (GC) leads the pack, with Super Mario Advance (GBA) in second and Densetsu no Starfy (GBA) in third.
Three GameCube titles, including ZooCube, Eternal Darkness, and Pool Edge, were reviewed this week. Eternal Darkness receives a gold with a score of 32 (9,8,7,8). Reviewers praised its story and its cinematic touches. One reviewer commented on the difficulty of control at times, due to the fixed camera angle. ZooCube received a 23 (6,6,6,5). Downfalls of the puzzle game included a lack of play modes and depth. Lastly, Pool Edge did slightly better with a score of 27 (7,6,7,7,). Reviewers generally agreed that the game was a excellent simulation of its real counter part. However, the game was lacking something to add depth, such as story modes.
On the GBA front, the new Kirby game scores a platinum mark with 35 (9,9,9,8). Namco's RPG, Tales of the World Nariki Dungeon 2, received a score of 32 (9,8,8,7) making it eligible for a gold mark. The scores in this week's Famitsu are summarized below.
