Nintendo tries their hand at making Kaizo levels and then charges 20 dollars for it.

I've played a lot of difficult precision-heavy 2D platformers in my time, and never have I ran into one from a big studio where the Game Feel™ felt this bad. Luigi moves like a half-melted gummi bear dipped in Vaseline and not once did his lack of traction and floatiness "click" with me. Playing this game alongside Tropical Freeze only made Luigi feel less graceful than a 150 kg gorilla.

That being said, I do prefer the levels being this bite-sized over the regular length of the main game's levels. Just wish the physics didn't feel so awful and they just didn't give us the same bosses as the main game. Come on, at that price tag, at least give us something besides Boom Boom.
