Famitsu Scores New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land

The Famitsu scores for two of Nintendo's lead Nintendo Wii U games are in: New Super Mario Bros U and Nintendo Land.

For those who don't know, the Japanese magazine summons a team of four individual reviewers who each give a score out of 10. These are then totaled up to try and meet the coveted 40/40 perfect score, of which only a very select few have reached.

So without further ado, New Super Mario Bros. U scored a respectable 36/40 (9/9/9/9), with the adorable Nintendo Land falling just short of that with 35/40 (9/8/9/9).

The games have performed equally well in our own reviews, with 9/10 final scores for both Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U.

Well thought out scores, or perhaps they should have been higher - what do you think?
