what he said..

Excuse me, but these aren't "horrible" games, these are "Average" games. Sonic Labyrinth got a 4/10 (The EXACT same as Kirby's pinball land, and James even said himself it was far from the worst), and Sonic Blast was a 6/10, same as Triple trouble which is the best selling GG game on the NA eshop. Besides, if this was a more major game like Wario land III, everyone would be all angry.

The point is, Labyrinth has everything a eshop game would have if it was available to buy; The star ratings (7 ratings from reviewers, most of them 5 star), a video that's been up since july (That has actually popped up in the charts of the NA eshop off and on), a description, and a price.

In other words, besides the fact that it isn't available NOW, it's ready to go. The problem is that it's been collecting dust in the coming soon section for almost FIVE MONTHS now, the longest a game has ever been coming soon in any eshop, and even more insulting, the fact that the current coming soon section on the NA eshop (That has ninja gaiden, wario land II video, ETC), Does not have these games.

Yes, Labyrinth is average, but it's far from the worst 2D sonic. If you want the "worst" 2D sonic, get Sonic Spinball on Game Gear, the glitches and slowdown are so bad in that game that it is as bad as 06 IMO

@TheDreamingHawk thanks! i will try and do that maybe they will listen to me unlike anyone else haha

@dreaminghawk I don't know about you, but I think a game that gets a 4/10 is awful. A 6/10 is average. And why you would spend money on that crappy game is beyond me, unless you like torture or something..

Hey, if he likes this game, let him like it.

If Kirby's pinball land is the same score and some like it, who says there aren't people who like Labyrinth? I like it because it tried something new, and just because a review says the game is below average doesn't mean it's unplayable.

Besides, if SEGA doesn't put these two out, we may NEVER get another game gear game ever again, knowing them. If you don't like these games, that's fine, but there are some that do.

I also wanted to try these two games cause im a sonic fan i might not like them but thats okay i just want something different and sonic Labyrinth does that which i think is neat

Also the other thing is what the dreaming hawk said about no more game gear games getting released and that would suck because i really really want the Tails Adventure games

The GG games I want are columns and the Mickey mouse games

Yeah, I'm honestly hoping for Wonder boy III on GG and Columns the most on the 3DS GG VC.

I'm not all that hot on these Sonic games, but I do want to try Defenders of Oasis, so I'd like to see them out of the way as soon as possible.

And that's really why I think more people should be trying to get to the bottom of this instead of letting it sit there and get more dust.

Is this game any good? Seems like a very obscure Sonic game.

@thedreaminghawk sega says my response will come tomorow hopefully i wont get a generic response like you did!

They'll release them when they release them. They're their games, and it's their decision what to do with them. There, we got to the bottom of it.

I guess that is understandable, but the fact that Japan gets GG games still makes you wonder...

Phil, I hereby award you a Shpydar-Man Medal of Conjugation for the exqusite usage of various forms of "they" in your post (with a homonym-bonus for good measure).
Kudos!

@the_shpydar hahahaha i didnt see that but thats pretty funny

It required an edit, but I got there in the end.

I just read a statement on Gonintendo.com about the wii U eshop and how dates are set and how flexible developers are, I think this has something to do with the 3DS eshop, too.

From what it said, The publisher can set it's own date at any time after NOA or NOE approves the game and gives it "it's earliest date". Most of them set it for the date NOA gives them, but some delay it for whatever reason. SEGA decided for the latter and wanted to not release them for whatever reason. It's probably why Tecmo delayed Ninja Gaiden a bit too.

So in other words, this is all SEGA's fault/choice on why these aren't out as well as any new GG games. For that reason I advise anyone who wants to let SEGA know to go to the contact form I mentioned earlier. Hopefully we will start getting GG classics again

All right.

This has gone on long enough... IT'S BEEN 6 MONTHS and they are not out. What's even worse is that we haven't recieved a single GG game since march of last year in NA. If a whole year goes by with no new GG games, something is WRONG.
