Oh god YES. Been worrying if the graphics would lose their iconicism from their 'upgrade', glad i've been proved wrong. EDIT: Boop

I'm happy to see this game getting a larger audience, since it's so well made and so goddamn charming.

"Oh it's not a big deal that i'm THE BEST." Nice. Loved this game on PC, wish I had a Wii to pick it up.

I am not a number, I am a free-range egg!

This new music really sucks compared to the original.

and here's a tip if you buy this: Remember that tiny man in the graveyard...

Lost reference! Worth the length of the quicklook to get that

Gregomastaon March 25, 2010 at 7:32 a.m.

Interesting game, can I find the original online somewhere?
