Of course it's a giant stinking rip off. Does it do it in a slightly different way? yes. Does it improve on the original that came out over 4 years ago? yes.
Does it entirely owe it's existence to the Wii? Yes.

Does it cement Nintendo's status as the most influential company in the history of videogames, past present and future? Oh HELL yup!
