    I like the game so far but the button control scheme is a bit weird and finicky for my liking. I couldn’t complete the first boss because I had considerable input lag. The rest of the presentation graphically is good though.

    Fun game. Controls take a bit to get used to and graphics are not amazing, but the game itself is a lot of fun. I had never played this on the Wii so it was my first run through and I have enjoyed it

    Fantastic remake that adds some pretty key quality of life improvements. I never finished this on the Wii U due to some of the annoyances but most of these have been fixed in the re-release. -1 star for the Amiibo nonsense,
