I haven't read the reviews on it just yet, but since it is only $15, I have no objections even if it turns out to be a flop like several of the recent iterations have been.
@kremechoko: You must not have a lot of respect for the older games then. Pong is repettiitve. Tetris is repetitive. Space Invaders is repetitive. Sure it wasn't an RPG or a Metroidvania game, but games like Sonic, Mario, and Mega-man were influential steps in video game history. However, to a certain extent I'll agree with you. If it was a $50 dollar game in today's market, I'd be hesitant. Much like how the new Kirby and Donkey Kong games are something I'm looking forward to, yet not really willing to shell out $50 for. In today's market, I feel you need to get a certain hour/$ pre-replay for a game to be worthwhile with the exception of a few factors depending on genre. I mostly just wait for a price drop on such games.
But even after saying that, we are all entitled to our opinions. For example, I personally think the FPS market these days is generally repetitive. Too many are being created just to drag communities in for the same thing with the same people they've already been playing. There's only so many years you can spend playing those sorts of games before you run out of new situations.
Oh don't get me wrong. I love Tetris, Space Invaders, etc.
But this is just one game that doesn't have it's own spice to it (imo).
And kirby..ahh alkjdklfdf
I'd rather not bring that up
