You probably already have seen the Q&A from the Official Nintendo Magazine about Spirit Tracks. Most information there is very vague and unspecific or just personal opinion. We probably have to wait for the full review this Friday, when the magazine will be released. However, five dungeons sounds a little disappointing, but don't forget that there will be a master dungeon with lots of floors. And some of the information isn't very accurate, for example TSA pointed out, that there won't be any pieces of heart, unlike the author of the Q&A said (probably mixed up terms and meant Heart Containers).
What's interesting for me is, that there won't be any DSi enhancements. Looks like Nintendo absolutely doesn't want me to buy a DSi. The whole DSiWare downloading service has still nothing to offer and there aren't any interesting games, that make use of the DSi features. But I'm definitely fine with that and very happy, that my DSLite still does the job. But it also means, that I probably can say good bye to my Stage Builder idea. Talking about that, by now it looks like Spirit Tracks won't have a multiplayer at all. Miyamoto mentioned a "Four Swords style multiplayer without swords", but there was no more word about the multiplayer and the official box art doesn't have the Wi-Fi logo on it:
It still could be not the final boxart, but the official Nintendo sites also say, the game will only be for one player. So, it might be, that the multiplayer idea was scrapped. No swords didn't sound like fun anyway and I wasn't a fan of the Phantom Hourglass multiplayer mode. It went into the right direction with being a small and simple duel mode, but the overall stealthing around Phantoms and Force Gem collecting concept isn't fun enough to be addictive, in my personal opinion. Could have been, that the Spirit Tracks multiplayer turns into something fun, but I can live without one.
PS: Did you see the US Spirit Tracks commercial? "Next stop: Hyrule", bwahahaaa, oh man...
