Topic: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II (Wii)

Why don't they create a Sonic 4 Ep. 2 that fits the parameters set by the Wii? It sucks that the Wii only gets Ep.1.

Not. Enough. Space.

The game is too epic for the Wii.

In my opinion, I don't think Sega should've even released episode one on the WiiWare service. I think they should've just combined however many episodes on one disc as a retail title, just like bit.Trip Complete. Just a little more polish, and there would be no reason why not to do so. As a retail release, it would save customers a few dollars. If there was at least four episodes on one disc. As a retail title, I'm sure it would receive more hype and better advertisement. Therefore, it would most likely see much better sales figures. Also, I believe more fans would be given the chance to experience it. Sega wouldn't have disappointed so many gamers either.

WiiWare cant support the game, so Sega has no plans for the Wii, but the Wii U and 3DS could have possibilities...
If smartphones can support Episode 2 then so can the eShop!

The whole episode idea was bad (in my opinion).
They should have made the entire game and released it on a disc for the PS3, Xbox360 and Wii.
I Also think they should have just made it a 2D sprited sonic game based of the previous sprited 2D sonic game engine.

Episode I was an entire game. Episode II is an entire game. If there is an Episode III, that will be an entire game.

In my opinion, SEGA's decision to make episodes was brave because it's put major Sonic titles on download platforms. If Sonic 4 had been a retail title, I can't say I'd have bought it, whereas with Episode I, I bought it within an hour of it being released. It gives SEGA the chance to improve from title to title and it ensures that Sonic 4 will keep on going.

Expecting Episode II to be on WiiWare when it had been overhauled was, with hindsight, a bit much to ask, but mark my words, it'll be on Wii U.

Perhaps it's because if you buy both Episode 1 and 2 you will get some metal sonic episode for free. Perhaps the Wiiware cannot handle that awesomeness.
Why don't they just put all 3 episodes together in one game?

Sonic 4 Episode 1 borrowed elements from Sonic 2, but was more or less based on Sonic 1 in my opinion at least.

There might be a disk released in the future.
Cause it happened with Back to The Future and the Bit Trip series.

You forgot that Sonic 2 Zones mostly have just 2 smaller Acts, while Sonic 4 Zones have 3 larger Acts (plus the boss). When you count by Acts, Sonic 2 has 19 smaller Acts + the final boss, while Sonic 4 Episode 1 has 12 larger Acts + boss rematches + the final boss. You don't complain about the length of Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles, do you? They're both just about the same length as Sonic 4 Ep. 1 and are basically two parts of an episodic game, themselves.

I've played Sonic 2 recently. It's not that much longer. Maybe 1/3 longer. Probably less. And that's considering how much easier it is to speed run through Sonic 4 (as I replayed the levels over and over and over and the game itself is largely less difficult I think...)
