You really didn't have to show so much emphasis on the Mii thing. He was just saying it differs from other Wii games, which almost always at least use a Mii for a Save Icon, which this game does not, and is one factor which separates it from other Wii games.

In fact, I must say I overall agree with his review. The series really does need a nice push forward in some regards. So long as the core of the game is pretty much the same, I don't think many hard-core fans would really have any problem with that. That's not to say the game itself is a bad experience, quite clearly, as it got an 8. It was just rather note-worthy that the game is very, very, old-ish.
