I played this at last E3 and enjoyed it. I didn't check it out on the show floor this year because I figured my time was better spent elsewhere. From what I saw of the game, and what Jason describes here, the game doesn't seem significantly changed.

I'm concerned that this game is going to be a bit shallow. It seems like they are showing off all sorts of stuff but very little variety in gameplay. We'll see when it drops if it turns out alright, but my initial reaction is a bit skeptical.
A lot of big games at that. The 3DS is already shaping up to be a killer system. I'm really looking forward to its release which I have a feeling is going to be this year.
In single player mode, you can hop between the two characters. In multiplayer, one player controls Donkey while the other is on Diddy.
So it's similar to past DKC games when you are a single player, but multiplayer is actually cooperative, unlike before where you had to wait for one player to die or complete a level to take over. Well, I suppose you could hit select to switch, but when did that ever happen?
I believe Phil meant shooters with that statement. I adjusted his article to reflect that.
This one seems like a huge disappointment, based solely on the fact that it isn't a faithful recreation of the original.
Don't worry, your time is coming! Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Mortal Kombat 4 on the N64 are both pretty solid games.
So I went back and played some more today... it's amazing. I'm completely pumped for it, especially after playing the mine cart level.
Correction no toad. Daisy is the other character.
I'll have to check out this interview after the craziness of E3 is over. From when I've heard about it, some really provocative questions were asked, which sparked some interesting and insightful answers. Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing it!
