So I gave in and bought Super Mario Sunshine. I know better late than never. I must say I enjoy playing it. There are some things in the game that could have been better, but with a Mario game its hard to be too disappointed. The levels weren't very challenging. I've only been playing for a few weeks when I get the spare time and I've got about 96 shine sprites. Not bad for only free time play.

Twilight Princess Update:

Between playing two games at a time and real life things taking place I haven't actually beaten the game yet. Almost there but not quite. Working on it, and hopefully I will be able to complete the game soon. The graphics are great, and it gives a more real feel to the game. Can't wait to finish it and see the end results of the game.
