I've gotta say, this looks great

When Nintendo of America announced the release of Donkey Kong Country Returns a few months ago, I think I reacted with a shrug and an "eh." (Or maybe it was a "meh.")

Actually, it may be more accurate to say my attitude went from "eh" to "hmmm" after watching the trailer above. (I'm an exceptionally emotional person, aren't I?)

It wasn't until I watched the following preview, courtesy of IGN, that the game had my full attention.

I read the preview in Nintendo Power this issue and was SO EXCITED! So...yeah...now I have to decide between buying DKC or Epic Mickey for myself as a prize at the end of November for finishing my 5th novel...

Yeah, I'm excited for it now, too. Not sure when I'll get it, but I will get it at some point. (Kirby first!)

Anyway, can't wait to hear about your novel. You will be blogging about it, right??
