I really hope Retro is at work on the sequel. DKCR was amazing!

Just finished the game and I think it's great! I feel like she agreed to follow Adam's commands because she enjoys the sport of it. The game would have been pretty dull if you had all your power-ups from the start. This attitude is illustrated perfectly when she activates her space jump on her own authority and sarcastically asks the m.i.a. Adam if he has any objections. Just go with it and enjoy the ride, it's a good one.

I would have preferred another Prime game to what Other M became. There are still plenty of ways to shake up and old formula without making the main character so unlikable. If Nintendo ever releases a budget collection of top sellers and Other M is on the list I may consider adding it to the collection.

Granted I haven't played this in a really long time but I thought I liked it. Definitely better than the 1 it was afforded.

@Metal Slugger I agree the left and right arrows are too small to click on so I use the +, - buttons.

Much improved over the disk software. The ability to search for content is extremely helpful. Just watched Beetlejuice!

Thanks for reminding me to play this game in October. Anyone finding the game too difficult you should know there is a very helpful Grenade Launcher Glitch. But try to stick it out without cheating and save the glitch for a second run through.

I for one would like to see MORE educational software like this on WiiWare. My daughter is so excited to have a game that she can play on our tv. The software could use more content for the price but what's there is well designed and engaging.

To anyone who has not played this game I strongly urge you to give it a try. It's one of a kind.

I'm so hungry for anything Metroid-ish rite now that I may have to download this tonight!

Looks like ICO but doesn't look like a retail game. Only a really great story with characters you really care about could help pull this one-trick game off.

This could be really awesome with motion controls.

Best game I have EVER played!
BUT I wish those long winded dialogues were shippable!
Right? You hear it once, why subjugate you to the same 4 panel dialog over and over when you just want to transfer your starbitts to the next player?

Great review Mr. Corbie. I'm picking this up as soon as I can. The original is my favorite wii game if not my favorite game of all time. I cant think of game that I played more than the original. I would like to see more behind the scenes for this game. Who made it, what was their thought pattern? So psyched!

Did you spy the hammer brothers? SWEET!

Zelda, Zelda, Zelda!!!
That's all they need to win the console war. Let's face it, that's why we're Nintendo fans. Excellent game-play combined with excellent expectation delivered. Come on Nintendo! Give us what we're craving!!!

I was totally on board until I met the ending. Uhg.

It could have been so much better! I wish these writers had taken a course in story structure.

Other M's delay does not bode well for the game. I'm really worried for Samus.

Not surprised. Most people I know that own a wii don't even play it let alone access it's lame online service. Personally I love online play (Tetris Party, Conduit, Call of Duty + more) and feel that Nintendo's service works fine for my needs.

Bummer. Pretty lame Nintendo!

SWEET!!!

Must have for old school gamers who have laid Mr. Tyson down for the count. This game constantly puts a smile on my face. No regrets for downloading this gem and supporting a great product from Gostfire.

I want to hate this game. 4:3 ratio - Really?

The over head on foot action feels like a lame Flash game. The original was way better.

But, it's Blaster Master. One of the best original NES games ever made so I cant help but love jumping around and blasting mutants in SOPHIA.

Die-hard fans of the original will enjoy this remake but it could have been so much more.

Anybody else think Curly looks like Stewy from Family Guy in drag?

You can't possibly be on the fence about this game, right? I must have played threw this game no more than ten times since it's 1992 release on multiple systems and it still has a hold on me! No better game exists. I guess I sound a little bias. You're rite, but you have to play this.

If you consider yourself a gamer, you must include this amazing effort to your resume. Remarkable for so many reasons but mostly because of its solo creator. I'm happy to support this kind of indie game because the game makes me happy.

I haven't enjoyed an on rails game like this since Time Crisis on the PS1. Great characters, awesomely dense fictional universe, cool and creepy monsters. The heavy dialog creates a pretty slow pace for a shooter but I like that this games does it's own thing.

Any new Kid Icarus game should focus on bow and arrow combat with the motion+ at center stage. A Kid Icarus re-imagining done with the thought and care of the Metroid Prime series would be so awesome!

Wow, I cant believe it turned out that good! I still have very fond memories of the first game and the video and screen shots of Overdrive weren't doing it for me but this review has changed my mind. Thanks!

I hope this turns out good but the Conduit has taught me not to get my hopes up with these folks.

@ dimothydobis, You're lame.

This is still the best *ware game on Wii. Challenging, charming and charismatic. Well worth then15 points an then some sum!

The hardest game on wii-ware, hands down. Uhg.

@davidshirt

Yeah! please Dragon's Lair!

I'm keeping my original three games even though I just picked up the trilogy. This is the very best video game franchise in existence. I'm sure the older games will become a collectors item someday.

I have these games already and was going to pass but I'm so glad that I didn't. The new play controls makes it feel like playing these games for the first time again. I will be playing this collection for years.

I picked this up anyway. What do you want for five bucks? Maybe my wife will play this with me at least once instead of SMB3 for a change.

Don't forget about the online glitches. For some people this game is completely broken due to it's random re-spawning design. Even with a great internet connection and luck on your side you'll have to reset the console at least once a day.

With the wii as my only next gen system I have to get this game no matter how bad it might be.

weep,weep.

I think I'll get this,
online wii poker sounds like fun to me.

REALLY?

Wake me up when it's over.

Grrr...
I swear there are bullet-proof jerks running around but I don't know how they do it!

From what I've read about the game my enthusiasm has been substantially reduced to luke-warm. Looks like I'll be sticking to COD for my online face blasting or maybe not, we'll see how the final product turns out.

Awesome game, one of my fav fighters, but does anyone know whats new with the re-downloadable version?

Messes with your head in a hurtful way but no one should miss this. Perfectly priced game experiment. This is the kind of software that can make the wii relevant.

Meh.
Whatever,
I've had this game over a month and honestly it's been a regretful download.

I never play it and match making takes too long plus the game single player is repetitive.

A fun download experiment but ultimately this game will leave you unsatisfied.

A fun experiment but it will fail to keep your attention for more than a few days = SHALLOW!
But, still recommend it for $10.ºº

Worth a VC purchase if you missed this one like I did, but not as good as Sonic 1 or 2. Simple as that.

8/10
This is a challenging and interesting game with a really cool style. A game for gamers.
Not of Mario caliber that it tries to emulates, but what is? You will fall in love with this game if you give it a chance.
