Didn't realize this was out already? Anyone else?
I saw it at Best Buy today and considered buying it, but I just got a bluray player and some movies, and I still have some DVDs to run through yet (to say nothing of Rock Band 2...). Also, I've noticed that the Wii gives me enormous pixels and I don't know if I even want to play a game like this with enormous pixels. First game in the series to use hand drawn animations rather than pixel-based sprites, and your system has a limit of 480p? Come on. There should be more games of this form (recall my Sonic 2 HD thread I made not long ago?), but on a system without HD, it's a bit of a disappointment for me.
That aside, gameplay looks like it'd be pretty fun, and I know I'm a fan of 2D platformers. The shaking seems like it's implemented as well as it can be for a 2D platformer, too, sort of like how Super Paper Mario was able to adapt it without it being unbearable. Here's a gameplay video for reference:

Barring any terrible reviews, I think I'll definitely be picking this up when I have a little more time available for such things.
