Quite low scores there... well, I have no arcade with KoF AW near me, so I will have to wait until the PS2 port is in my hands.
Btw., I find it quite surprising that ppl bash on KoF AW because of its similarity to 2k2, which most rate as the best KoF ever. Rehash? Oh man, not that one again... who says rehashes couldn't have good gameplay?
Too bad AW kits are still very expensive, I'd really love to play KoF AW and the other new games on the real thing...

Exactly man, thats why I said I thought the Japanese loved KOF 2002, so I couldnt understand why NW got low scores.
They should judge the game upon its gameplay which is top notch since it is basically KOF 2002 with tweaks and new grooves, and I think has better balance.
They should not judge the game on its similarity to 2002, which is a ''no shit'' because thats a given with this game.
You should already know that before pressing start playing NW.

Meh, we don't have similar tastes so I always ignore Famitsu.

Of course not bro, but the score did throw me off considering the following KOF 2002/NW has in Japan.

yes,but famitsu is not arcadia is it ?
and well,i don't think they judge or should judge a game depending on how "popular" it is ?
mushi sama didn't get a superb score,same happened with espgaluda
while dodon DOJ was a 37 or 38 / 40 game in their opinion
why? they're all good ports
so bottom line : famitsu score don't mean anything
it's not like we should care about the neowave port anyway,cos it's got all that extra rubbish in it like seth,may lee etc

Famitsu is a very critical game magazine and this game does not deserve any higher then a 7. If they would give this game a 8 or 9 they would make a fool out of themselves. NGBC for example is already a much,much better game, then they have to give that game a 10 or something. It's ridicilous and Neowave IS a rushed product that could have been done much better.

Of course not, and thats not what I refer to in that sense. I simply meant that everyone knows 2k2/NW is a great game gameplay-wise.
And yeah Akhi, I get what you are saying regarding Fam's reputation/industry standard.
But I also agree with Takuma ji.

THE reason they are able to do NGBC is because they released Neo Wave to get funds and a feel of the Atomiswave.

Just like SVC was for KOF 2003/other releases after.
Which still doesn't make it a reason to give it a better score, but I get your point.
KOF NeoWave is not a BAD game, and actually pretty damn popular, especially when it just got released. It's just not more then a 7.
Hey if I got a 7 in school, I was damn proud!

I used to read Famitsu every week. A disturbing trend about their reviews, the more money the developer has the higher the score. Their scores are way off, especially for arcade games.
You should have seen them tear apart Garou for DC when it was released. I read the review at the store, said the three "grooves" were cool, but it is a game for the fans and nothing new really.
I'm looking forward to it.

Bleh, I was considering a subscription to Famitsu via import site.
Ordered a copy a week or so ago.
I won't be able to read it, but mainly got it to keep up with Japanese releases, especially 2D ones for all platforms.
But Fam sounds like the Japanese version of EGM.
Bleh...
Arcadia sounds hot tho, but they only deal with Arcade releases. =/
Why don't reviewers ever use the ''nothing new'' cliche with gay ass 3D games/fighters? Those shits are definately nothing new or fun.
