Why was Super Mario Bros panned in Europe?
>>
Nintendo was not a publisher in Europe at the time so they hadn't paid reviewers yet
>>
>>12233213
do NOT research this
>>
>>12233210
because it was a simple Hüpf und Kletterspiel game
>>
>>12233210
If that's 57 what did they consider 80/90
>>
>>12233210
what the fuck? OP I don't read mien kamph I don't know what they're saying.

>Super Mario Bros, a very simple action game, stands out from the crowd thanks to three elements: its simplicity, the richness of the world in which it is explored, and the quality of its production.
thats not so bad

>>12233242
Elite Plus got a 94

>Super Mario Bros. is a really simple platformer that's somehow interesting thanks to its many different characters. As simple as the gameplay is, the game can be incredibly fun. Perhaps precisely because it's so uncomplicated. Anyone who likes these kinds of games can buy it without hesitation. Lots of fun is guaranteed!
sounds good to me wheres the "panning"?

Ratings work different in Germany, scoring goes from 0-60.
I believe it was introduced by Hitler or something, together with bratwurst and sauerkraut

It was no Great Giana Sisters. Remember that GGS came out before SMB in Europe.

How could SMB's gameplay be considered 'simple' in 1985?
>>
>>12233883
We had actual games in Europe at the time
>>
>>12233883
The French already played and made tons of RPGs on Atari ST and Amstrad CPC.

Also nintendo literally made games for kids. PC-88 games were a lot more complex.

Wrong.

I'm right fuck you

>>12233210
Because the PAL market was still being dominated by old microcomputers, and bongtards/bongtard-adjacents were so used to getting pirated speccy/dorry games for a few pence behind the tackle shop that, when the NES arrived and the software prices were shown, every lime, rick, and hortense swore off of the brand for good.
The Mega Drive avoided this issue by having footy and being several pounds lighter than the Noncetendo stuff, hence Sega's reign over Europe.

They were too busy with zniggy.

They didn’t getted the Eurosnoy mind virus yet
>>
>>12233210
Because it released 2 years later in Europe than anywhere else in the world, so the critics were comparing it to games that were 2 years newer. They're not wrong for doing that, either. The point of reviews is to help people decide which new releases are worth buying, and when a 1985 game is a new release in 1987 alongside other actual 1987 releases it will look a lot less worthwhile.

75 used to be a good score before retards took over everything and now 7/10 means 'shit' instead of 'really good but wanting'.

Because it released 2 years later (1987) in Europe. Many more complex games existed by then, especially for home computers which were far more popular in Europe at the time.

>Jeu d’action fort simple, Super Mario Bros se distingue du lot grâce à trois éléments la simplicité, la richesse de l'univers dans lequel on évolue et la qualité de réalisation Contrairement à beaucoup, ce jeu est trèsfacile à utiliser car le nombre d’actions est limité au strict nécessaire. Outre les dépla cements vers la droite et la gauche, le joueur ne peut que sauter. Pour se débarrasser de ses ennemis on bondit et les voici écrasés

>Pour obtenir des points de Bonus, de l'argent ou bien des éléments nécessaires à la réussite du jeu, on saute et on tapStfe la tête les briques renfermant telle ou merveille. Et c'est là que réside le secret
de ce jeu : simple d’apparence, il regorge de trucs divers. Ainsi, pour sauter plus haut, on peut récupérer une sorte de champignon
afin de grandir.

>Dernier point : la réalisation. Animation précise et douce, graphismes soignés et bande sonore de qualité répondent à l'appel.

It's refreshing to see a review treat SMB just like any other game. Like I said, Nintendo had no status in 1987 in Europe.

And here's the other review from OP. The low score is because it ranked only 4 in Gameplay due to how simple and arcade like it was, but the text remarks that's one of its strengths since it's instantly easy to understand and gets addicting fast.

>>12235702
it's because it's shit
