Those with connections have already had a look at it (arrive date =! sell date). Your thoughts?

Easily the best looking game out on the Wii. Those looking for bragging rights or just the desire to hold up a next gen game reasonably with your other console breathern - look no further.

I've only dabbled - but everything feels ... "right". Controls are tight, everything is SILKY smooth. Hints as tutorials instead of a "tutorial level" - I like that.

A lot of care has gone into the game - and it shows. At least so far.

Coming from someone that only played a 3D Metroid in the DS incarnation, I still felt pretty much at home.

More as I play more.
