This was one of my favorite N64 games. The first one wasn't especially well received if I remember correctly, and this plus the very Japanese look of the game (at a time around when Nintendo was worried about bringing Pokemon to the U.S. because it was too Japanese) prevented a lot of the rental stores from carrying it (at a time when many people wouldn't buy a game without renting it first). I don't think enough people played this game as it deserved as a result.
