My copy arrived yesterday and i put in a couple of hours.
Hmmmm not sure what to make of this or really what to think. The trailer had me quite excited to play it, and while there are some cool elements(the special moves are brilliant), its kind of like a game where 99% of the development has gone into the visuals and special moves...the rest feels a bit empty.
The bits you'd expect to be decent are all present and correct thanks to the franchise, the music is lovely, and the visuals are nice, the moves are also perfect fitting for the characters, but there is a distinct lack of that nintendo polish for me.
The biggest irritation is the mini map though, i found my self rather fumbling around the levels trying to get to a certain spot. The moving around is quite irritating too, being as you are constantly eyeballing the mini map you stop for a second and then you have to wait for the auto sprint to kick back in.
Many of the trademark items also feel rather superfluous.
So far, despite sounding negative, i'd give it a 6 or possibly 7...but i'll play further and possibly re-evaluate.
