    I've seen the Wii version a few times at my local Best Buys. They usually have it placed near the other low quality budget titles like Billy the Wizard etc. From what I have read on the Wii version, it is exactly identical to the DS version. Only the DS version is cheaper and exclusive to Gamestops.

    That is about all I know of the Wii version. But at least I have seen it.

    This was a Best Buy and FYE exclusive. Several local Best Buys in Los Angeles still have a few copies in stock. Super Fruitfall for the Wii came out at the same time and I believe was also exclusive to Best Buy.

    I actually thought the DS version was pretty good. I haven't run across the Wii version yet but I would probably pick it up just for the sake of owning it. If you liked the original you'd like this version as they are nearly identical save for the updated graphics.

    I have the DS version, but I found it boring. Then again, I never owned a C-64.
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    I picked it up a few months ago - to be honest, while the graphics update and feel of the game is true to the C64 version, the control scheme is awful. You can't hold the controller sideways like a classic controller, you must hold it like a wand. WTF? Seriously, it's a platformer with pixel perfect jumps, trying to shoehorn the Wii controls in there was a lame move. Too bad, I loved the C64 version :/

    I saw this at a local Sam's Club last week and it doesn't look too bad. It was priced around $18 when I saw it.

    Dang it ... you just had to mention this game and make me track down a copy, didn't you? Never heard of this one before tonight, either (and I'm trying to pick up the obscure ones cheaply as they come out).
