Zelda Skyward Sword Lands Perfect Score in Famitsu

Famitsu, Japan’s most influential video game magazine, has reviewed “Zelda Skyward Sword,” the latest Zelda game for Nintendo Wii. In a rare event, all four writers have given the game a perfect score of 40/40–the first game to even earn such score this year. This also makes it the third time for a video game from the Zelda series to earn a perfect total score, after “Ocarina of Time” for N64 in 1998 and “Zelda: Wind Waker” on Gamecube in 2003.

Overall, only 16 games have received a perfect score from Famitsu so far. This includes “Soul Calibur” (1999, for Sega Dreamcast); “Nintendogs” (2005, for Nintendo DS); “Final Fantasy XII” (2006, for PlayStation 2); “Bayonetta” (2009, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360); and “Pokemon Black and White” (2010, for Nintendo DS).

Zelda Skyward Sword will be available for United States retail on November 20.
