yes

In other words, unless this game is perfect, you aren't buying it.

that or if it offers something completly different from all the other rail shooters on the wii.

absolutely yes. i have already preordered it from some time. it's easily one of my most anticipated of the year, i loved the original on the virtual console and since there is no indication that a new starfox will come sometime soon (or if it will be a rail shooter like starfox 64, or another abortion like adventures, assault or command) i hope this will be more than enought to satisfy my craving for this kind of games.

Probably when the price drops

So pretty much a no?

^^
drops a lil then?
didn't play the first, hype a bit on the lesser side

You should give it a try if/when you can. It is short, but really fun!

If I like Starfox, will I like this?

You bet but unfortunately not on day 1 =(
