How are the touch screen controls supposed to work? Its not a virtual analog stick, I hope....

Anyone amused that Sega didn't even publish their own game on the DS?

[Bartman3010]

What irks me is that the DS version is $29.99 while the GameCube version is $19.99.  I hate it when they do that.

[Athlon-pv]

Value for money tho as i understand it , basicly you buy it for 7 friends also and it's not just a souped up GBA version

Well the DS version is portable and for eight players, the GameCube version is only four players.  I don't know if that alone justifies a higher price tag, but whatever.

Greatest press release line ever.  Even more so than when Nintendo used the word "bitching" in an NES Classics press release.
