From all the previews I read this game was supposed to have 'bombed' and in the USA it was regarded as an okish title...

Actually, Chuck, it's done pretty well at retail. The Japanese release was a little quiet, but it's done very well in the US. And the reviews have been great. Not sure how it will do over here, but much like Zack & Wiki and Donkey Kong Jet Race it will probably perform better than you think.

I have to disagree, Quar.

Donkey Kong JR spent two weeks in the All Formats top 10 and only this week dropped out of the Wii top 10. Zack & Wiki also charted well and remained in the top 40 for a few weeks.
