A shame too cause the game is actually fun! As long as you dont have the mindset of "Ohh it's a NST game, automatically sux!"

If you don't understand this, you don't understand the Japanese market. And at least a part of me doesn't understand this.

See, I really enjoyed playing MvDK and it's quite addictive (I just finished up getting all 90 stars and now I'm gonna start on the Expert levels). But I think I'd give it a 7 or an 8 too. There are control and design issues that I can't quite get over.

Nothing more annoying than hitting A to jump, and plummeting into a pit of spikes when Mario doesn't respond.

It's bad enough that anyone who even slightly criticizes the game on GAF gets accused of anti-NST bias, but now the staff of Famitsu is getting it too? :\

Hey, I'm just making a huge generalization, or whatever. I didn't realize there was so much hate on NST until the Mario vs DK thread on pre-NeoGAF :p

hmmm, I wonder if there is ANY chance at all Pikmin 2 will match the sales of the original...

It seems to be performing steady, if unimpressive, numbers on a weekly basis...
