I'm glad you wrote launch "day" and "day-one" b/c I'm not a big fan of alleged "launch" titles releasing 5 months later in March. I'll give them a month window, say thru Christmas, but when a new calendar year starts its hardly a "launch" title anymore.

They need to fix the framerate. There was a video from the preview events on the thirteenth and the framerate was atrocious.

@Oregano I suspect it was an older build. The beauty of modern games is updates; if Sega doesn't have a high frame rate a simple patch/update could do the trick. One example was Ridge Racer Vita; Namco launched the game with frame rate hiccups and fixed the game with an update.

The first one of these was great, can't wait to play this

November 20th here in the U.S. so only two days after launch for us.

so many games at launch i need to play!!!

@GazPlant I thoroughly enjoyed the original as well! I think I mght have been one of the few to purchase the Ryo Hazuki Forklift; don't care, since I love Shenmue.

I want the 3DS version sooo much it hurts.

I'm worried this may be a watered down port to the 3ds lacking in features and mediocre graphics.

@Lite_Gamer They said that PS3, XBOX 360, WII U, and Vita versions of the game will be the same, however for the 3DS version, they plan on completely recreating the game from scratch.

@MrWalkieTalkie Thanks man I was really on the fence about it glad to see the 3ds will be getting a high quality racer.

Getting this for the Wii U. Reminds me so much of Diddy Kong Racing N64. Gotta get it!

Cool, but TOO many launch titles I say! My kids will want this and I already have 3 games I want on launch day (at least). Yiiiikes.

@rjejr
How are you getting it in October? March is FOUR months later, right?

Insta-buying. The 3DS version is hoing quite "cheap" on amazon, but I'm getting the Wii U one.

I didn't like it on the Wii really, so I probably won't buy this ever.

@cyphid That can actually be a problem. A very big problem. Why I'm saying this is because most developed games usually connect to the internet somehow. Most games would usually rely on updates to fix them in some way, but not everyone has internet access. Remember those games like Mario Party, GoldenEye, Donkey Kong, etc. Well they would take a long time to release because it shouldn't have glitches (even though they still had). "The beauty of modern games is updates; if Sega doesn't have a high frame rate a simple patch/update could do the trick." Well for every beauty there is, there's usually an ugly too. I'm not sure where I'm getting at but I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't see why games can't be fixed before they launch. It may take longer, but sometimes, it makes it all the better. After all, you wouldn't want extreme lag in a game for the NES, SNES, N64, GBA, Genesis, Dreamcast, Saturn, etc.

Fantastic news,it would be nice if Mario was a playable character in the game.

I'll get the PC version because I heard the Wii U one has a bad frame rate (like the WIi version did)
