Any company that would do something that underhanded (...cough....Namco....cough....Capcom....cough) would have to have no integrity.

It does clock in as a tiny bit too expensive though, especially in Australia. I's kind of sad, this is basically the same as NSMB but for wonderboy.

It's definitely got 'skip' written all over it for anyone that hasn't already popped for it (like me, sigh).

Too bad that once is pretty much all it gets since most the fun is in the jokes, and none of them are as good a second time around. Pole was a blast to play.

It is a good game but the majority of its value in my eyes was nostalgia. It isn't nearly as good as the GC remake from 3 or 4 years ago. Of course when you go from having 1.4 gigs to 44 mb there are bound to be some things that have to be cut. <br><br>Still the backgrounds are pretty dull and they repeat for an entire world with no regard to the map screen. Seeing the top of a mountain look the same as the bottom of it is a little silly. The game fun while it lasts, but that won't be too long.
