I'm psyched for this game. It looks a bit more hectic than it's SNES predecessors which makes me a bit worried that it might not appeal to my gf (who loves the series) as it might be more difficult.
The first ones were very difficult too with their save structures. I doubt this will only let you save every four levels or so like the old games. They'll probably have a difficulty setting as well to make it easier for the kiddies of today who can't handle failure.
