Great concept and execution, demanding timing precision to do any better than "OK" - difficulty limits fun.

This is classic Nintendo: fun, original concept and execution, catch music, addictive gameplay. What's missing is the balancing for difficulty - in my opinion this one is just too hard. With the right balancing, or at least an easy/medium/hard mode, this game would be awesome, right up there with Wario Ware minigames) With that said, this is a terrific title and a lot of fun. Games like this makes you wish that they could do OTA updates to adjust stuff like difficulty setting.
Ultimately whether you enjoy this game will depend on your tolerance for retrying the mini-games long enough to pass them. In my experience, it took a minimum of 3 tries to get through each one. Some of them are hellishly difficult - the ping-pong game comes to mind. They are all fun though and really well designed. With adjustable difficulty level I'd give this one an 8 or 9.
