I saw this game in a used game store today for $4 and I immediately snatched it up. It's the first RPG I EVER played. I can remember being 10 or 11 and sitting for hours playing this game. I played this one more than the original Legend of Zelda.
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to put this game back in my collection.
The Honeyhive Galaxy is the one I go back to if I want to pop the game in for a few minutes and just play a couple of levels. It could also be because my 4 year old son has the spiel by Toad at the end of the first level memorized. "AAAGH!! A BEE!! Oh Mario, it's you...." I also really enjoy that little tune. I also like the music from the Beach Bowl Galaxy. I think though like everyone else Gusty Gardens has the best music in the game almost without question.
This is actually going to be a day 1 purchase for me. I enjoyed Call of Duty 3 for the Wii. It was the game that actually got me interested in shooters on consoles. I had tried many of the traditional FPS's on things like the Xbox and the PS2, but really did not find the control schemes to my liking. Having the pointer functionality really make these types of games enjoyable for me. I've bought and played nearly every FPS that has come out for the Wii since and they're only getting better. Treyarch has had 2 years now to work on this title and it's looking to be pretty good so far.
The only thing I'm a little skeptical about is the multiplayer co-op. From the video during E3 is appeared that one player was controlling the movement on screen and they simply added a 2nd reticule for the other player. I'm really hoping they have some split screen or even on-line co-op for the Wii version.
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 was a really good offering for the Wii and showed that it was capable of doing many of the things that the other consoles were doing like 32 player online that was fairly good at doing what is was supposed to. I've not had much trouble at all with the online functions in that game.
COD has traditionally had a better story component, and better gameplay in my opinion and MOH was one of my favorite games so far for the Wii. I enjoyed COD4 on the PC and I have high hopes for World at War on the Wii.
