Sorry for the late reaction to the Nintendo Direct itself, but man, this is one of the most awesome things to come out of Nintendo in a while. Even though Platinum / Kamiya are the ones using parody so effectively, kudos to the Big N and Iwata for greenlighting such referential humor in an official press video. I mean, what other company would allow for such a thing?
The game itself looks very cool as well. So colorful and cartoony, it's like the 16-bit days all over again but in a modern package!
