Got my copy of Super Mario Sunshine today, and spent most of the day playing it. I'm about 10% done with it and damn this game is tough. I'd say it's harder than Mario 64 was, but there are a lot of similarities between the two. I'd still say Mario 64 is the better game, though not by much. My only gripe with SMS is the control scheme. It's hard to get used to and the camera tends to get in the way in spots. Still, it's pretty much everything you'd expect from a Mario adventure, so I'm quite pleased.

The game I'm really waiting for though is Animal Crossing. Everything I've read about it is right up my alley. Unfortunatly, I have to wait three more (long) weeks before I can get my hands on it.
