The Legend of Zelda series has consistently been a hit with those tough reviewers at Famitsu magazine, and the new Phantom Hourglass continues the tradition and doesn’t disappoint. Famitsu has given the soon-to-be-released game (in Japan) a near-perfect 39/40 score. For those that aren’t familiar with their system, it’s a total of scores from four different reviewers - meaning three of the four gave it a perfect “10.”

For reference, Famitsu had previously given Majora’s Mask a 37/40 score, Twilight Princess a 38/40, A Link to the Past a 39/40, and both Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker received perfect scores of 40/40.

Wow pretty sweet! Im definitely getting this game!

Wow did it come out in the usa yet?

No...Im not sure when its hitting america. And us in the Uk will most probably get it last

the game doesn't even have a release date for any region that i know of except possibly Japan, which leads me to wonder what they're rating this on

if it's the Japanese version which may be released soon, then this is good news, but i'd bet money US raters will give it a lower score. US just doesn't seem to appreciate the artistry of games as much as the Japanese, like Viewtiful Joe, Okami and Wind Waker. all were great games, but just didn't sell well. so sad

well k thx for the information

its out in japan next week
