wat. So according to IGN, N+, The Last Guy, and TWEWY are on the same level...? That...doesn't sound right.

Then again it's an opinion, so w/e...

Care to elaborate WHY that doesn't sound right? It wouldn't have to do with your undying JRPG and Nomura adortion would it? You don't compare a 9 for an action RPG and a 9 for a platformer. They are 9's in their respective genres. N+ is f'ing fantastic. One of the best platformers in years. It strips everything to the core of platforming, which is timing your jumps.

I already have this on the 360, so unless there is new content, i'll stick with that.

Well it looks like there may be some extra stuff in it. From the review:

"Even if you've played N+ on XBLA, the DS version includes all new levels, new modes, and really fits the handheld well.

...

Surprisingly, the DS game includes more features than its console counterpart. While the XBLA game had a level editor, it didn't allow users to share their created content. Here on the DS, you can create your own ninja playgrounds and upload them to challenge the world. There are also new competitive multiplayer modes like Tag and Domination. During Tag, whoever is "it" loses time. Domination is a variation on Capture the Flag."

Also:

"This is an extremely polished game that fits the DS like a glove. It's got style, grace, and attitude, and it feels good to play. The physics are great, and almost every level is fiendishly clever. It's also one of the rare titles that are presented better on a handheld than on a console. No question, N+ is one of the best DS games of the year."
