[quote name='mickeyp']If my son liked the demo at gamestop do you think he will like the vc download game or is that game much harder?[/QUOTE]
It's not an easy game, but I think the controls are better, and everything about it is much more fair than the stupid stuff that happens in Star Successor. The N64 original is certainly the better game.
If you've got an N64, just get an import cart from ebay A little DIY, and you'll be able to play it on your US N64..
