Sounds like straght up gambling to me. Not something nintendo should market to kids.

It's not gambling. The whole thing is under your control. It's not like those real-world crane games, which are programmed to fail most of the time (from what I've heard, the typical rate at which it works properly is 1 in 42, or something like that). If you're skilled, you will get what you're going for.

It's a game of skill, not a game of chance.


Gambling games dont have to cheat to be gambling games (most gambling games are fair) and this game is the definition of gambling. In this case theyre trying to build the rush you get from gambling to get you to risk money for the chance of something of almost no value. The gambling rush is adictive and distorts people sence if value. This little game seems to be nintendos first step.
