The respected Japanese publication Famitsu has published its weekly review scores for the week of June 28, 2026, covering three recent releases.
The magazines' latest roundup includes scores for Star Fox, The Last Salvage Squad, and Mousebusters.
Famitsu's weekly reviews remain a closely watched indicator in Japan and among global Nintendo audiences, and its score format — four individual reviewers giving a numeric score that combines to a total out of 40 — is unchanged.
Famitsu scores (week of June 28, 2026)
- Star Fox — 8/9/9/8 (total: 34/40)
- The Last Salvage Squad — 8/7/8/7 (total: 30/40)
- Mousebusters — 7/8/8/6 (total: 29/40)
In journalistic terms: Famitsu's four reviewers awarded Star Fox scores of 8, 9, 9 and 8 for a combined 34 out of 40; The Last Salvage Squad received scores of 8, 7, 8 and 7 totaling 30 out of 40; and Mousebusters was rated 7, 8, 8 and 6 for a 29 out of 40 aggregate.
Famitsu's format of four separate editor scores combined into a 40-point total is the standard method the magazine uses to present its evaluations.
Context and platform relevance
Star Fox is an established Nintendo property traditionally developed by teams within Nintendo (historically Nintendo EPD and its predecessor studios) and is primarily associated with Nintendo hardware.
Famitsu's coverage of a title bearing the Star Fox name remains notable for Nintendo Switch owners and those following announcements through channels such as Nintendo Direct and the Nintendo eShop.
The Last Salvage Squad and Mousebusters appear among the week's reviewed titles; Famitsu's coverage of indie and mid-tier releases alongside first-party franchises is part of its broader remit to reflect Japan's games market.
For readers seeking earlier Famitsu results, Famitsu maintains archives of past scores that track review history across platforms and release windows.
How readers should use these scores
Famitsu's numerical results offer a snapshot of editorial impressions and are most useful when combined with full review text, gameplay footage, player feedback, and platform availability.
For Nintendo Switch players tracking new releases and eShop updates, Famitsu's weekly scores provide one data point among many for assessing new and returning franchises.
