Super Mario Galaxy gets a 38/40 from Famitsu

Mario’s really taking it to the stars, it seems. Thanks to the fine folk at NeoGAF, we’ve got word that Super Mario Galaxy has got a pretty high score from the reviewers at Famitsu, scoring two 10s and two 9s for a total of 38/40.

According to NeoGAF poster Mandoric, here are some of the salient points of the review:

• Keeps up the feeling of “I wanna see what’s in the next level!”
• Gradually builds up things available in game, keeping a good difficulty balance and level design.
• Gravity change gimmicks and special actions improve boss fights.
• Wiimote controls work almost too well.
• Tempo is abnormally good.
• Just being able to point and gather star pieces in exhilerating.
• It’s a game everyone can enjoy.

It certainly bodes well for the game if it’s first review is that high. Will Nintendo’s Wii game follow suit in America and Europe? We’ll have to see. Super Mario Galaxy will come out in North America on November 12 with a European release on November 16
