I debated scoring this 4.5, but ultimately I think 4 is a more apt score. It doesn't really take the series to new places (though I am glad to see it back), and its replayability hinges entirely on a player's tolerance for perfecting their scores in missions. For me, Pilotwings is all about that, but I realize that most are going to blaze through the missions and quit when they're done.

That being said, if you're a Pilotwings fan, you could consider the score as half a point higher. The presentation is the real killer here, as is the play-it-safe gameplay that doesn't move the series along in any meaningful way.

I'm somewhat interested in this game, but honestly, I've played very little of the console version at this point so there's not much of a reason for me to pick this up.

I'll probably grab it in the bargain bin some months down the line, as I would still like to have a fighting game of this caliber on a handheld system.

I'm going to give this game a shot and grab it alongside Pilotwings Resort at the Toys R Us buy 1 get 1 half off sale. I'm hoping it's good, but I'm honestly not expecting much.

I'll be writing reviews of both as soon as possible.

Oh snap, that would be amazing. I was reading on the Noby Noby Boy wiki that they added 2 player support - I might have to boot that one back up now. I bet it's pretty cool with another player.

M-m-m-meggggga BUMP!

I wonder if Namco has any plans to re-release this game with Kinect support, or if they have a new game planned to use Kinect specifically. Maybe E3 will reveal something new?

I'm genuinely excited for this one. It has been a while since I've enjoyed a SMB game, so I'm hoping this one is a return to form.

This looks pretty underwhelming (not that I was expecting much), but even the graphics seem pretty meh.

Yup, I did. It had a ton of technical issues and it was docked accordingly. Great game, but the issues are inexcusable in such a high profile game.

Sorry for doing my job and being a critic, next time I'll just pander.
