Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Full Soundtrack Now Available, Here's Every Song Included

I'm very happy that Sega just puts soundtracks of their recent (and old) games on major streaming services like spotify and YouTube, as well as just selling the physical cd. Instead Nintendo refuses to release anything except drip feeding it on a proprietary service that gatekeeps anyone without NSO and forces you to use their app. Nintendo could learn a thing or two from Sega here

Re: Pokémon Unite Ending Service In Select European Markets Next Year

The Pokémon company is clearly dancing around why specifically they are pulling the game out in Belgium and the Netherlands. Belgium is one of the first countries to call lootboxes exactly what they are: gambling with real money. This doesn't mean the games featuring them are illegal, but they will be labeled 18+. For that reason a lot of developers of kid's games decide to pull out of Belgium (and NL, since the Dutch speaking part of Belgium and NL are usually lumped together). And I understand that that's frustrating since they are the exception right now. But I also know almost every gamers complains about the lootbox freemium model. So think of it this way: These companies are trying to squeeze money out off kids by getting them into gambling, and Belgium is at least protecting it's citizens. If more countries follow and this becomes the norm, games will have to adapt to not be cashgrabs instead of just opting out of these few countries.
It has nothing to do with NL/BE not buying enough skins, it's just the Pokémon company not wanting to admit to the government that they are trying to make money out of getting children to gamble.

@Minfinity There are parts of 999 that are essential to the big plot of VLR, but you can enjoy 95% of the game without it. If you haven't played 999 yet I'd recommend it, or if you just want to jump into VLR just watch a summary video of the story on Youtube.

Re: Rumour: SEGA Preparing a Third Sonic Storybook Game

No problem. Let's just hope the last storybook tale is the one of fast blue hedgehog with attitude.

But seriously, I think SEGA won't screw this one up. They'll just use a storybook tale as the main story, but build some good Colour/Generations gameplay around it. ...I hope.

Re: Rumour: The Mercenaries 3D to be Recalled in Australia

"The source claims the recall is because of the fact that the game data cannot be deleted and thus, makes the store's 7-day refund policy impossible as consumers are not able to bring the game back "as new"."
So if I'm correct, the people who bought a broken game won't get their money back? Well that sucks.

Re: Talking Point: Your Sonic the Hedgehog Memories

I remember it well. It was the 5th of December, Sinterklaas, and I got Sonic Heroes for the Gamecube. I loved the game a played it for HOURS (seriously, if I look at my old save it says I played over 40 on that game). So I decided to look in my local gamestore and discovered two other games: Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Bought them, loved them. As I grew up I found out that there were a lot of other Sonic games thanks to the Internet, and since I've bought every Sonic game there is (for a Nintendo of course). Can't quite say I missed out on Sonic '06 cause I don't have an Xbox

I bought the Classic Collection for the DS to play all the old Sonic games I missed, so by now you could say I've played almost every Sonic game there is. And yes, I considder myself a Sonic fanboy.

Re: Review: Madden NFL Football (3DS)

@SuperPowerBros
I'm Dutch, but I always try to speak British English instead of American English (It's Sonic Colours! ). We Dutch usually call this Madden Stuff either American Football of Rugby. And what the Americans call soccer is football.

...Nut despite all my effort I still pronounce tomato the American way xD
