It really torqued me off at first not getting to choose my target. But late game I didn't feel as bothered by it. Probably because by then the only enemies giving me trouble were bosses and you don't need to target different enemies when fighting bosses.

I was going to give the game a higher score until I started writing the drafts of the review and remembering how much the matter bugged me at the beginning so I knocked it back down to four stars.

I'd love to see either a sequel to it in some form. Maybe not a direct sequel but a spiritual one would be wonderful.

Maxi too. And you can't forget the 'Anonymous Gang'.

I would be getting this but I still have an unopened copy of the N64 version I've been meaning to try out.

I've no doubt this will be better than the old DS one thanks to the slider pad.

I've got a friend coming to town who is willing to guest star with us if we are missing a person.

So it IS coming to the States! Good to know. Glad I didn't splurge on the import version.

I got to play this with a friend the other day and had a blast. I agree the waggle-roll is total nonsense but otherwise I feel the game is a flawless return to classic form. Co-op takes it to a whole new level of fun too. My friend and I were decent enough to take turns controlling the barrel launches and cart segments but I could see some heated competition going on in those parts.

I might actually hack my Wii to get Classic Controller support enabled.

I almost imported this when it came out. I might still get it eventually as it looks like a fun game.

If it becomes a holiday release then where are the other Wii games? Is this it for Nintendo fans?

So YOU'RE one of 'those' people. ;) It really only gets on my nerves when you are playing with a group of people and one or two start trying to force everyone to play that way. If everyone likes to do it that way, then go for it but don't force others to follow your choices.

One thing is for sure on the Okamiden matter: I'm not buying the game until later in the year just in case there really is a 3DS version in the works.

Wow, my voice sounds very nasal and annoying this time. It sounded better before.
