I got my copy at midnight and have already partaken in some 4 player action as well as played through one of the single player modes. It's one of the prettiest Wii games yet, and the controls are pretty solid, although the Wiimote-nunchuck combo is not my bag. I've opted to go with the Classic Controller route, as you can still here the taunts and goodies piped through the wiimote speaker. By all means, get it. If you don't like it, you shouldn't have trouble getting rid of it.
