i think wat he's getting at is not that its gonna suck, obviously its not, but just that it'll initially be a let down, which it will UNTIL you accept it and get over. Most people have blocked out any negative thoughts about this game so they're fine. But...the truth is that Nintendo was lazy on this one. Yes we all had hopes too high for this game to reach.
Significant things they did mess up on.
-character roster
-items, ats—7 years and this is all you came up with. work on your dam creativity nintendo. Emphasis on WORK. I expected A LOT more items then there are. The wii was supposed to be a revolutionary system, so I wanted freaking monumental amount of new stuff.
levels—although there are a lot of great stages, many feel very similar and I think they could've had a few more themes.
Online—its 2008—get with the times really.
So yes there are some significant downers about the game, as there have been with the other wii games I've played. Not saying it isn't going to be fun, but for some expecting it to be infinitely fun is not a good idea. This game is not infinitely great, not "off the charts", its just very high up on the charts. And before u piss at me for criticizing the game you all idolize and say THEN DON'T BUY/PLAY THE GAME!!! realize that I may not. Maybe I'll buy it and return it or sell it to someone who can't find it in stores.
