It's very fun in small doses. The fighting system isn't particularly complex, which makes it accessible for non-gamers. If you are going to play against visitors or children, very worthwhile! If you want something to absorb your time and attention, look elsewhere. I'm glad I have it, but it is nowhere on the level of Zelda (for individual absorption and rewarding play) or Mario Kart 8 (for online or local multiplayer, plus decent single-player fun).
