With all the usual Kunio-kun charm and a new set of wacky sports it'd seem that this game is a nice follow up to its predecessor, Downtown Nekketsu March: Super-Awesome Field Day!. Sadly I find the structure of the previous game far more appealing, so this game ends up being a bit of a dissapointment.
Not only did having all the events based on the same control scheme make DNMSFD (lovely acronym) far more cohesive, but it also made for a far more unique experience. There have been lots of sport based minigame compilations released both before and after this game came out, and I feel like the minigames themselves end up lacking against other games like Track & Field, being far too complicated to have fun with friends who aren't already invested and too chaotic to try and sweat it with Kunio experts.
I still like the game, but I understand why Field Day is the one that has been endlessly remade and homaged.
