Reception

WiiWare World felt the game was a safe adaptation of the card game and appreciated the inclusion of online play, though they were left unimpressed by the basic presentation.[2] IGN called it a no-frills, run-of-the-mill adaptation, and felt that its presentation was "unbelievably ghetto" and the graphics "ugly even for a Nintendo 64 game".[3] Wiiloveit.com acknowledged that it's easy to "write it off for its simplistic presentation", however it was stated that the game undeniably provides "great value" especially due to the replayable online mode.[4]

gollark: Yes, crazy memeeconomy brokenness is broken.
gollark: As of now it's not remotely dependent on the quality of the meme, just how many people decided it was something which might make money.
gollark: That would make it more realistic.
gollark: It's just not very well-designed in the first place. This is, so far as I can tell, basically the only way to make money, outside of posting a meme and hoping that some foolish person invests in it.
gollark: Unless they totally overhaul the rather flawed new system, there will probably be new problems even after patches, though.
