Seems like a decent idea that's priced too highly IMO. Also, there are too many games there that I couldn't care less about.

I might pick it up for the Mario, Zelda and DK offerings if Nintendo ever has it on sale.

Honestly man, if you like retro games, it's worth every penny ($15 canadian). It makes you relive old Nintendo moments in a new way. As an example, if you don't mind the spoiler, the very first Zelda level requires a trick to get the rainbow stars. Sure it was there in the original Zelda, but to need it to get a high-score is cool.

I'm sure I'd enjoy the challenges of my aforementioned games but I wish that Nintendo had gone the route of just letting you purchase the games you want.  I have little interest in playing Clu Clu Land, Balloon Fight, or Excitebike ever again and never liked NES Golf or Pinball even back in the day.  But at least they don't foist Urban Champion on us.

If they had added Metroid, Kid Icarus, Zelda 2 and Super Mario 2/3 games I'd buy it immediately but as is I'll likely wait a while.

Failed to mention the MiiVerse integration with special challenges.

-5pts from Rol.

What are those special challenges? Are you even sure you got that right? You don't own the game.

Check Miiverse for special announcement / post. Its a community challenge.

Okay... so what I said in my closing comments stands. There's no reason to go back, unless you really care about improving your scores.

Well I'd say these community challenges are worthy of consideration in the game score. They drive a lot of value and fun to the game.

Pretty awesome usage of Miiverse and, to me, better than any trophy/acheivement junk.

No, they aren't. No, they don't.

No, it's not. And being better than junk is still chunk.

I've been roll'd!
