I have it, haven't played it a ton (mainly because I got it the same day as Mario Kart) But I liked what I saw. It plays a lot like the originals, although there's a bit of slowdown compared to those (not enough to adversely affect the gameplay though) My main complaint is that the "Scratch" FX ability seems like a very crummy way to throw touch screen affects into the game (kinda like those lame Magic seals in Castlevania DS)
