Game seems to have come together very nicely since E3. This was definitely a panic-mode release to get it out in time for holiday 2013, but nevertheless, it looks fantastic for what it is. I will indeed be buying it for $59 over Thanksgiving.
It's a shame Mario Kart 8 won't be coming for at least another six months, but oh well. No use crying over spilled milk. Perhaps Wii Party U will be a hit and Wii U will survive this holiday on those two games.
