Finally found a copy in an independent shop a couple days ago. Grabbed it, since it was the only one I've seen in like a year. Started it up when I got home.
Impressions so far are extremely positive. Two boss battles I've gone through are nice, progression is kind of linear but the puzzles are nice. Health and item drops are rare enough to keep suspense high. Graphics are gorgeous and the sense of humor is a lot of fun. I like the use of size in different sequences - the rain drops that are like boulders? That was great.
My only qualm so far is that the soundtrack isn't blowing me away, which is kind of vexing after I gorged myself on Spirit Tracks's delectable OST.
Let's talk about Minish Cap.
