meh... I'm pretty dissappointed. I know it's the "Arcade Edition", but 3 minute quarters and 20 second play clock, in franchise? Also a bit laggy, and no practice mode as far as I can see. This is basically a teaser for the full version.

Alas, best way is to get Nintendo hardware.
I just don't see those two companies really working well together anymore (esp. since both of them come off as control freaks)
