Put in a couple more hours with the game and I've completely fallen in love with it. It's everything I imagined a sequel to Nights would be, from the music to the level design and artistry; it's got all the old magic intact. I don't see how any fan of the original could not love this. My only issue with it so far is the unskippable cut scenes, but they're only a minute or two long and not nearly as frequent as some of the reviews imply. I just think of them as loading time. It sucks that they're there but they don't ruin the game; the majority of my play time with this will probably be spent on score attacks and the cutscenes can be skipped at that point.
I've had no control issues whatsoever using the Classic Controller (Wiimote control is awful) and I love the graphics. From a technical standpoint they're decidedly last-gen graphics but the colors are vibrant and combine with the art design to make for a beautiful game. It's a welcome respite from the "mature" gun and car games we're inundated with; I love violent games but sometimes I miss how whimsical and simple games used to be. Anyone else playing this right now?
