It's insanely fun, easy, and beautiful game. Seriously, there are some actual Wii games that look less pretty than this. For $10, it's incredible. If you're bored of your Wii and looking for some original fun, this is where it's at.

It is short, coming in at about 3 hours according to Wikipedia, but I think the price easily offsets it, compared to some actual retail Wii games.

There's also a sequel already in the works, and I hope it turns out as well as this one.

The Wii has like 512MB of internal memory. With WiiWare, VC games, Wii applications, I never understood why the space doesn't fill up so fast. Must be small files.

As for the game itself, I heard mixed reactions. But I think its a step in the right direction if small-time developers can make interesting Wii games when the big developers are busying themselves producing mini-game collections.

I hate the small memory too, I was hoping to put all of my favorites from VC on there but I wont have the space, dunno if I would want them on cards.

Well, the NES games wouldn't take up much. I remember carrying around multiple NES roms on floppy disks many years ago. You can't put VC games on the SD cards, but you can re-download them over and over if you need to make room.

Annoying, but I guess flash memory is still somewhat expensive. But I wish they could have atleast gave 1 GB.

You can get a 2gb microSD for like 10 bucks, theres no excuse for them not putting more memory in the console. I thought you could transfer downloads to a card but it somehow id'ed itself to your console.

This game reminds me of N64 games that were fun and had charm

You can. The only thing you can't transfer are a few game save files.

Uhm, unless they're all N64, you could easily get everything on there. I have like 10 VC games on there, plus, like 10 Wii save files, plus a lot of brawl stuff, plus all the channels, plus LostWinds, and I still have room left for a few more WiiWare games.

I should have spent my Wii Points on that. Against my better judgment, I decided to go with Crystal Chronicles: My Life as King due to some vague, slightly promising summary I read. Final Fantasy games generally have some sort of adventure quality to them, and I really enjoy that. Then, after downloading it, I discovered that you don't go on adventures, you pay others to go on adventures for you. I suppose I should have done more reading on the game before downloading, but I never expected one of the game mechanics to be, "pay NPC's to have the fun for you."
