Sounds better than expected, but I'd still be amazed if it shifted units in more than tens of thousands. For me personally, there might be some extremely minor temptation if there were Wiimote controls, but zero without.
I'm glad to hear that there is presumably some effort going into this port as well, though I agree it sounds like there won't be any pointer controls since they're just focussing on the GamePad. I'd definitely be more inclined to pick this up if pointer controls were included, but I'll admit that I'm more interested than I was before.
