Looks cool.Guess I really will have to pre-order now.But I'll probably leave Sonic in his little box,seeing how toys like his always have those arm and leg joints that break in one day.
@SATORUIWATA It's not like that.First off,this is not being developed by Sonic Team,so the Nintendo comparison is invalid.Second,it's a spin-off,so it doesn't have to be exactly like your old beloved Sonic,which is the point @rjejr made.Big Red Button is going to do their own thing with this game and its okay for them to do so.People from Naughty Dog are working on the game.I have faith in it.
@Pokefanmum82 They look more like turtles and they're supposed to be mutants,so it doesn't really matter if they look weird.Remember,this is just another version of TMNT and they have done this time and time again.The film isn't even out yet.
If it gets on Steam I'll buy it on there.But it's a bad thing that publishers skipping Wii U releases is now the norm,even for licensed games based on TV shows along with AAA titles.Nintendo needs to step it up in terms of support.
@Xiao_Pai The problem with the Wii U isn't really software sales,but the actual console selling.That's why Ubisoft won't release COMPLETE games and waves them in our faces.
Third party games would probably sell on the Wii U if the third parties actually acknowledged that a Wii U version of the game is actually available.Example:Activision never showed the Wii U under the consoles Black Ops II was available for in the advertisements.The games and hardware would probably sell if they actually promoted them.Same goes for both third parties and Nintendo.
After what they did with the Justice League barely showing up and naming the last game "DC Super Heroes",I think they should have just done LEGO Justice League or start a new LEGO DC super hero game.If they were to do another standalone DC LEGO game,I'd want it to be a 4-player co-op Teen Titans game based off of the original show.Or just a new regular one.I'm getting off-topic.
It's not like it takes too much power to run on the Wii U in the first place.If they sell boxed copies,I think It will help out with the Wii U selling.
Yay,another same-sex marriage debate.Anything new?Anyway,I don't see the problem with adding same-sex marriage to the game since other games like The Sims have it.They probably removed the same-sex marriage because some countries have it banned or have strong opinions about it.So I don't think they're on either side in this fight.
Seriously need a release date.I want to be able to play this on my birthday or something.They've shown so much so far,so they might as well just give us the date.At least,I hope.
The problem with third parties is that they often don't see the Wii U as a next gen or worthwhile console.They think they are forced to use the GamePad or don't have enough power with the system.A lot of third parties are running scared from making or publishing games for the Wii U because Nintendo cannot market their own system outside of Japan and get better sales from doing so.Nintendo should show how much power and what options and capabilities the console has before they start digging their own grave.It can't go on with limited promotion of the games,the system,and third parties just refusing to make games on it because of their misconceptions of the consoles because Nintendo isn't showing what you can do with the Wii U.But to be honest,the Wii didn't have a lot of third party games,but it still sold because of the great exclusives and the new controller it had.So for the good of the company,they need to get it together.
Nintendo should just try to appeal to ALL gamers.I haven't seen any advertisements for The Wonderful 101,and that's one of the most "hardcore" games I've played.That's why the Wii U isn't selling.They keep thinking they can appeal to casuals even though iOS and Android is dominating the casual market.The whole idea of having a different anything made specifically for females just sounds sexist to me.
To answer some questions,this is a new branch in the Sonic series and DOES NOT replace modern Sonic.Sega has officially said that on their Facebook page.Overall,I have a lot more hype for this than I have for any Sonic game since Colors.I like how it looks and the co-op thing is great,too.Knuckle's new design is......ehhhh.But I can get used to it as it is in a different canon,as it seems.The cartoon looks great as well.Good thing it's on CN,too.That's the only channel I regularly watch everyday,honestly.Hope both the game and cartoon end up being great.

Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC Coming In November, Features Zelda, F-Zero And Animal Crossing
Do we really need versions of characters we already have with costumes added?
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st August (North America)
So does this mean Disney is selling standalone portals along with Sulley,Mr.Incredible,and Jack Sparrow figures?

Re: Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric Set to Add "Two Fan Favourite Characters"
It's either Metal Sonic,Shadow,or Rouge.Hope they get added into the cartoon as well.

Re: Sonic Boom Release Dates Are Confirmed for Wii U and 3DS
Might have to preorder the Wii U version.Also,it'd be cool if the cartoon series released on the same day or sometime around that time.

The playsets look improved,though.Gameplay>graphics.

Re: Disney Planes: Fire & Rescue Flying Exclusively to Nintendo Systems This Fall
@xj0462 Planes was never a hit.Everyone hated it,but it made a profit,so Disney just had to make a pointless sequel.

@technotaylor98 Money,money,and more money from promoting their new craptastic film.

Re: Comic Workshop Coming to 3DS eShop on 17th July in North America
Would've been good to get this on the Wii U as well since it has a bigger drawing surface.
Re: Wii Owners Are Upgrading To PlayStation 4, Claims Sony
I want a PS4 at some point.Maybe when games like GTA V and Arkham Knight come out.

It's a new strategy and skill people can use to win.I say keep it.
Re: Wii Sports Club Retail Version Hits North America on 25th July
They should've added more mini-games like in Sports Resort.Or just do a sequel to that.The island would look beautiful with the new graphics.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th June (North America)
What do you guys think?Should I buy all the Pikmin 3 DLC,Minish Cap,or 1001 Spikes?

Re: Weirdness: Luigi's Mario Kart 8 'Death Stare' Is Deemed Noteworthy By Fox News
That's not the TRUE original.I saw it on Know Your Meme and it just had the footage of Luigi passing Waluigi with a death stare with no music.
Re: Natsume Announces Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley for a 2014 Release on 3DS
I think they should make a Wii U Harvest Moon next.

Re: Video: This Pokémon XY The Movie - The Cocoon of Destruction & Diancie Trailer is Rather Dramatic

Re: Former Criterion Boss Alex Ward Laments Issues With Releasing Need For Speed On Wii U

I already have the movie on DVD.They should just add all the movies.There's still some of the movies I haven't seen.Black and White is okay,though.

Re: A Sonic Boom Game is Dashing Towards Wii U and 3DS
To answer some questions,this is a new branch in the Sonic series and DOES NOT replace modern Sonic.Sega has officially said that on their Facebook page.Overall,I have a lot more hype for this than I have for any Sonic game since Colors.I like how it looks and the co-op thing is great,too.Knuckle's new design is......ehhhh.But I can get used to it as it is in a different canon,as it seems.The cartoon looks great as well.Good thing it's on CN,too.That's the only channel I regularly watch everyday,honestly.Hope both the game and cartoon end up being great.
