@Alchemy, I don't think its a substitute for SSBB, but I think with SSBB out of the picture this holiday many Wii games will benefit with greater sales, including this one. It also has the mascot factor. The younger crowd, longtime Nintendo/Sega fan base crowd, and mascot lovers will enjoy picking up M&SatOG. With SSBB out of the picture this game looks a lot more appealing, but that doesn't mean its a substitute, just a beneficiary.
@Just_Ben, It's okay, I was like that yesterday hehe. And I probably should've worded my post about it better. I'm glad you agree with me about the 2 games.
Don't think it will hit the sales of the Wii so hard, it is just a week after all. The DS however, well missing Christmas is a big deal for such a game.
