Anyone else excited about Endless Ocean?

This might be the first Wii game I pick up since Zelda on launch day. (It's only $29!)

Thanks! Just ordered RE:UC. The price had gone up yesterday when I first saw this deal, then was back down today. Already have Ghost Squad and love it. In fact, I may post a gripe thread about the various reviews saying GS is "too short"--very misleading.
BTW, although the Perfect Shot looks good and apparently has a firmer trigger than the Zapper (and I might still buy a PS), the Zapper can also be used for other gun games quite well. All you have to do is *not* insert the nunchuk into the Zapper, and just hold it in your other hand. (Duh!) The Zapper gives you the gun grip and trigger for the wiimote, and is a bit counterbalanced with the rear frame portion. But you can use the nunchuk independently for games like MOH, etc., which don't require much use of the top wiimote buttons. Just like the Perfect SHot. Plus, you have the coupled option as well.
I have also seen a Wii gun model on some Asian sites which has a removable small bracket that the nunchuk fits into, and which can attach to the rear of the wiimote gun frame. You can use this one as a dual-handled gun like the Zapper, or simply slide off the nunchuk part and also get the same functionality as the Perfect Shot.

I bought the Perfect Shot as more of a second player lightgun in addition to the Zapper, but I realize I don't even know if these games are multiplayer...

I've posted numerous times about Endless Ocean. I can't wait. I'm always down for something different.
I still have my $25 gift card from TRU's Mario Galaxy promo. $5 Endless Ocean, here I come.

Alright, I went into Toys "Я" Us yesterday with the intent of buying Link's Crossbow Training and Zack and Wiki as gifts. Completely forgot about the Buy 3, Get 4th Free sale. I mentally re-grouped my gift ideas and decided to buy more games, and get Metal Slug Anthology for myself, for free.
Here's the problem: I was stricken by fear and don't know if I picked up the "right" games. My idea was to get something for my brother that my dad might enjoy and something for my sister that my mom might enjoy.
I bought My Word Coach and Fishing Master. Looks like both of these have less-than-stellar reviews.
I can basically replace these with a $50 game and a $40 or less game.
The replacements can't be anything complicated (so Tomb Raider is out, for example). Any ideas... or should I keep these?

Big brain academy is good like the above user mentioned. I hated Cooking Mama though. It's one of those games I would only pickup if it drops to $10.

Seems odd no one else can confirm this price.

I ended up keeping Fishing Master. We played for about half an hour. The gameplay is not perfect but it's pretty good.
I ended up switching My Word Coach for a DDR game. That went over well.
