Ahead of its release next week, Famitsu published one of the first reviews for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury in its latest issue.

The Wii U original earned 38 points, but 36 is nothing to snuff at, and keep in mind that different writers were involved.
In any case, we’ve gone ahead and translated the entire Famitsu review. You can find it in full below.
