The first review of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury has now been published by the Japanese publication, Famitsu. The verdict comes just over a week before the official launch of the game.
Famitsu’s scoring system has four different reviewers rating the game out of ten; In this case, the reviewers of the magazine opted for scores of nine, nine, eight and ten, resulting in an overall score of 36/40 (thanks, Ryokutya2089 / VGC).
As mentioned by VGC, Famitsu gave the original Wii U version of Super Mario 3D World a score of 38/40, a slightly higher score than the release gave the new Switch game. It seems that the review calls the Fury Bowser mode “very fun”, while praising the challenge and playback of the new mode and the online functionality offered in the basic game.
