The graphics here are still better than NiGHTS.
I think this game will actually be pretty good. I think Miyamoto will make sure the core mechanics are there to make the game fun with friends or in short sessions. I'm expecting it to get a better critical reception than Mario Party 8 had, but worse than RRR 2 will get. But the Mario Party audience should eat it right up.
I won't buy the game, but I'm interested in playing it.
