This game actually gets me excited! It looks so fun and it will be a good 2D platformer (that we are severely lack of).

I played the demo and I like it more than W101.The control of B2 is tighter, and the drawing mechanism is gone.

By the way, why is Sega involved in this game?

I never really notice framerate drop. How can people notice it with a bare eye?

Sonic Boom, Bayonetta 2 and Captain Toad for me.

I played Zero 4 on Wii and it was awesome. Creepy and atmospheric.

I was planning to buy Zero 5, if it appears on Wii U.

@JoeBro Pikmin 3 is the best game on Wii U. It deserves $60.

@CliveWinston That was what I meant. MK8 is about getting the right item (esp 3 muchrooms in the last lap) and knowing what the shortcuts are.

MK8 is more about getting the right items (e.g., 3 muchrooms in the final lap) rather than skills anyway.

Region locks sucks, because I would buy Tetris versus Puyo Puyo,

What a strange idea: region locking a console so that people may need to buy two consoles if they travel to another region?

Don't they need to buy a separate set of games as well?

@FilmerNgameR I only played the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World. I enjoyed it so much that the game nearly got me buy a 3DS for the 3DS version of Sonic Lost World.

@TheLobster They may make a sexualized version for men. But wait, they have done it before in SNES: Cho Aniki

@FilmerNgameR Generations are good but it does not really glow on me (probably because I dislike those mission stages). Sonic Colors is mostly a 2D game with occasional 3D stages. But, wow, its 2D stages are the most extensive and varied throughout the entire sonic series! Sonic Lost World did perfectly on the control of a 3D sonic. Combination of Generations and Lost World will be interesting, although I thought there are stages like those in Lost World (those segment of stages were you keep running forward?).

@FilmerNgameR The last multi-platform sonic game (be it either Sonic Transformed or Sonic Generations) was good but I thought Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World were better.

Who want Pokemon Rumble U?

Regardless of what people say, I feel recent sonic has been better than ever! Nostalgia affects you if you really think that old Sonic titles are better than Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World. I grew up with Sonic but I felt Sonic Colors have much varied gameplay than the old Sonic titles. Lost World has resolved the camera angle issue. I will buy Sonic Boom for Wii U Day 1!

The first week of sales discounts for celebrating Smash Bros was awesome (Mario 3 and even Mario 3D World) but the sales for the following weeks are just lackluster. Why not having sales for Super Matriod and GBA Metroid?

I remembered Dynasty Warrior in PS2. It was a game that LOOKED pretty but all you need to do was to keep pressing the same button to do the combos. After a while I felt bored.

Looks like Bayonetta 2 will be much less repetitive.

It does not look like sonic. It looks like a cat. Ew...

@MadAdam81 36 out of 40: exactly the same score of Sonic Lost World on Wii U!

@MadAdam81 You are wrong. The person who reviewed the game was Jose Otero on IGN, and he is a huge fan of Nintendo games.

Sonic boom will be my purchase. Sorry, Nintendo!

Legitimate reason to buy the new 3DS next year!

Longest thread ever!

what makes nintendo put up a demo for this game but not most other franchise is a conundrum to me.

Life is unfair. Just give everyone a demo code, Nintendo!

It is probably not coming to Wii U: it is unlikely to be released in any console anyway. How to emulate those sand-playing mechanics on any platform?

There are many hits from SEGA that is not released outside Japan. About 10 years ago Sega released a blockbuster based on the Chinese story - the Romance of the Three Kingdom (the same story background of Dynasty Warrior). In this Sega game, you played on a table where you can put cards on. The table emulates a battlefield. While a TV screen shows the moves of a CPU-controlled army, you placed and moved your cards on the table (battlefield) in response. Each card represents an army and you have to move your cards (in real time) so as to counter the CPU enemy (that is constantly in motion).

Sega did released a version of this game for DS, where you can move cards on the touch screen. That game was a hit not only in Japan but also in Asia, but it was not found anywhere in the West.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Gamegear version) was surprisingly a good game. I still remember the fun boss at the third stage. The games in the Genesis version and the Gamegear version are quite different.

@BearHunger I actually thought Sonic 1 on gamegear was a bit better than Sonic 2 on gamegear.

@luke88 I understand what you are saying, but do you notice that Wii U games are increasingly unlikely to have demo? I often purchased a game that I do not play because the game did not have demo (e.g., Scream Kitty and Toki Tori 2). These games are by no means bad and someone would love these games. Just I would not play them. I just do not want to pay a full price for a game that I would regret after playing it for a few minutes.

@TylerTreese Thanks! I'll probably wait for a sale.

How long is this game?

I have just spent $15 on Shovel Knight, $10 on SteamWorld Dig, $5 on Scream Cat, $12 on Wii Sport Club, $4 for Mario 3... another $15 is hard for me to swallow.

Competing with Sonic Boom - are you out of your mind, Ubisoft?

@tovare Please, sonic lost world is much better than sonic adventure...

Speaking about mature games, where is Yazuka for release in US? Why didn't Sega localize Yazuka and release it?

I wish that NIntendo can do the camera right. I used the camera in Game and Wario and I did not think that the gamepad actually acts well as a camera in that game.

Well, Nintendo may decide not to import this game outside Japan...

I remembered playing Mario Bros when I was like 9, and then I felt lots of games were better than Mario Bros (e.g., Wonderboy, Bio Miracle Bokutta Upa). But after playing Mario 3 I felt like it is one of the best games ever made - definitely better than the Boner games nowadays.

Honestly, you can still play Mario 3 nowadays and experienced how amazing it still is (as compared to recent video games)? The problem of recent video games was that they are too easy (i.e., no challenge) and probably for kids only.

This game was reviewed in AVGN.

I somewhat envy 3DS gamers as I would want Zelda 1.

Just spent some money on Eshop to buy Mario 3, which is on promotion. Fun game!

They just cancelled Kirby Super Star. I have suggested before - they should give discounts for eshop instead of giving out games that no one wants. Think about it: $5 off for each 200 coins or something, and maybe allow these $5 to be used for games over $10. Good for their business as I would pay more to buy a more expansive game. I would also be much more keen about Club Nintendo than having Mario Bros (?)

Mario Bros was one of the first games I played on NES and I remember disliking it.

2 games in one. What a steal! I like a lot of things about W101, jest except the drawin recognition. Bayonetta is nit going tohave this element. In addition, i somehow like the torturing combo. Call me sadistic!

I agree that the Nintendo custome thing is somewhat unnecessary: do not really fit with the game. Bayontta with peach costume does not look like Peach anyway. I won't bother with this element.

I won't buy other games until Bayonetta come out. Somehow i qm not really interested in Hyrule Warrior. Then, in Nov, Sonic Boom. Christmas, Captain Toad.

Given that it is am indie game the framerate issue is totally forgiveable. There are not a lot of good platformers nowadays, and thus it is a gem.

2 games in one package! $59.99 is a steal!

It's funny. - PS3 sells more than PS4 in Japan!

Ray's the Dead and Adventures of Pips look good!

How to enlarge the window for playing this game? It looks too small on my screen.

Yes, Bayonetta!

@hypercoyote Sorry, I thought you meant you thought the game had English, but you checked and it did not.

Yes, it had both English and Japanese. But truly, it does not really matter about the language in the game. You must need to smash buttons. :>

@hypercoyote What are you talking about? Once your download the game, it has both English and Japanese version.

This game is freaking tough. I love it and NIntendo should make more games like this.

@andrea987 I trust my brain. Don't you trust yours?

@andrea987 There are two lies in this world:
"We never fire people." (Fact: "Every company fires")
"We never fire people." (Fact: They secretly stage a layoff.)

It is unknown which company Nintendo belongs to, as the company was renowned for developing a monopoly and forced developers to sign contracts that prohibited them to develop games for Sega (Mega Drive) and NEC (PC Engine).

@Kaze_Memaryu In response to recent Nintendo laying off over 300 employees:

Mario voice: "You are fired!!!"
Luigi voice: "You are certified (while staring at those employees)!!!"

@andrea987 @electrolite77 @Sceptic Your feud here reminded me a few months ago, how people laughed at Sega laying off people. It appears that Nintendo laid off even more.

To recall, Iwata used to insist that Nintendo is not going to fire anyone, and his behaviors were applauded by fans:

Capcom is learning from Ubisoft... (they are learning from each other anyway. Remember Resident Evil 4?)
