I loved what I saw, being an Mega Man fan since the gameboy.
I will buy this one for sure!

What character development? She talks even if she talked since Super Metroid, and even more in Fusion? Samus isn't a mindless robot even with official mangas showing how she suffered with the Space Pirates and feelings like an normal human? Curvy figures even if she poses in bikini since the NES?

It's all ruined! I can see it in an 30s teaser!!!
That's it i'm going to boycott Other M!.... Buying the first Metroid in VC!

(It's Prime all over again.)

Actually Samus speaks 1º time (With a voice) in SSBB.
Do taunts while in Zero Suit to hear her.

As I said, buy this version if you want to try the game and don't have any other choice to play it.

@Spencer
Well done, I really liked to read this review.
It's nothing compared with the last Ace Attorney review. Here the points are well made and well justified.

@Pj
Suprised? The original Sonic Team is long gone, nowadays it's just really an brand with other people working there.
And Yuji Naka, doesn't work for Sega since 2006.
So why it's surprising?

So in the worst case ever, the game will be "Not Bad" instead of "Total Junk". Good News

@Prosody
Also, the 4th screen is an mock-up.
It was made by members of Sonic Retro to see how would be like Sonic's classic design in Sonic 4, the screen is on their forums WAY back then....

@Jeroen
Agree with all of my heart.
Spaceship shooting with motion plus sounds like a very good dream.

Even if it isn't an Motion based console, I hope it plays Wii games in the same way Wii play game cube games.
(Connect old controllers and stuff to play the old games.)
If this is talking about an home console.

The arcade VC is really on life support, it would be very nice too see these ones here. specially some kind of release of the Punchout! arcades.

I loved the NES one, never expected to find such gem.
I will want this one too

This rumour is hard to believe, and even if it's true Nintendo will make sure that the quality of the game isn't compromised.
And the (possible) fact that Sonic enters there doesn't mean automatically that the game will lose quality.

@irken004
Way better than Bioware or Sega themselfs.

@KeeperBvK
Quality over Quantity!
...
What both?
The world isn't perfect my friend, and it will never be.

@dings
Stop and think a bit.
How it was originally and which one of those possibilities is the better for business.

@Yosher
What's ironic is that they pretty much did the same thing with Sonic 3.
Money being the one of the strongest reasons (Sonic 3 already have some size of considerable stuff off S&K done). They could release it fully but they didn't.
By what an Sega representant said it's going for the same way as various people said already.

@Pj
If the same as the jp vc.
Let you play Sonic 2 as Knuckles

@Donatello
For me and for some people out there Classic Sonic gameplay beats Mario anyday.
What you said is more of your opinion (like my perspective) than an general truth.

@vonseux
Sonic have quills not hair...

@Bass X0
It's the codename of the project, and used since sept. until the date of this post.
So it's kind important referring that.

@Outrunner
An Sega representant said that Sonic 4: Episode 1 is the 1º part of an complete adventure like Sonic 3 was the 1º Episode and Sonic & Knuckles the 2º in the Sonic 3 chapter.
So expect 6-7 zones for episode.

I'm still sad that Euro game will lose the slots, but this time they did the right thing, replace the games instead of just remove them.

Last Story? hum...
Could we finally see a true Final Fantasy?
Last one made was like 9 or 10.

Why you need HD graphics, when you have Dual FX Twin Engines with Parallel Hyper-Bit Interface!

90s' Sonic Marketing...
90s' Sonic game in the way?

Wow when i just saw the headline i tought "Meh, it's an same for me i don't have an hacked wii." But now i got more hope for playing FFr4 in english!

@Gum
That's seems too much internet rumor for me.
The man who named the Doctor himself Ivo Robotnik said that he chosed Ivo, because the "European" way to say the name (Evou) make it sound like "Evil" (and Ivo backwards it's Ovi, an distortion of Ovum and that means "Egg"), and Robotnik because it's the word that was used as the base for creating the word "Robot" and actually it just mean "Worker".

@XD375
The wii version didn't have gigantic useless hubs, and in day stages you could actually see where you're going. Why have more content that didn't work well? (It's obvious why got bad reputation for god's sake... Werehog...)
But yeah, pick your poison.

@DAaaMan64 & @BooNelson
While i like "Robotnik" more, i think everyone that goes "Anti-Eggman" (not speaking about you of course) is overreacting and being picky, the kind of people that make sonic games worse that they really are (not that they are good nowadays anyway, but the 2d ones while not as good as the Mega Drive ones, deserve some praise). Eggman it's an good tribute to the Beatles song (just looks to his old jumpsuit, he's the "Walrus", he's the "Eggman" ) I just want to hear "Robotnik" more, to please my inner child, but "Eggman" should stay, in respect the original people who worked on the 1º game in japan (now Sega also respect the american people who helped sell the 1º game all over the world! More "Ivo Robotnik"!)

@TwilightV
Actually they said, in their final post, that Sonic will be the only character in the game, (i presume that Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik and his Badniks still enter of course.)
Seemed like an Sonic 1 treatment in the character department.

@DAaaMan64
His name were always Robotnik, even after SA, really, manuals, little references, like Robotnik Inc. himself in the DS rpg, or even his family.
even in japan in sonic x (yes that show) his real name was stated to be Robotnik (Eggman as his alias), so don't worry about that.
If you want to call him Robotnik do so, even the game doesn't tell it.
It's like Peach, nowadays it's a bit more of japanise name, but her name is and will always be Princess Toadstoll, Peach Toadstoll.

It's an Shellcracker.

The problem in sonic games never were the characters, were the gameplay, really Mario and Classic Mega Man have silly characters and "plotmess" but the gameplay wins. But of course since it's the actual Sonic Team we are talking about, not the good old Sonic Team, or another awesome team, Sonic only game gives them space to ignore stupid markting gimmics. (Dreaming, with still some faith) missing Tails, Knuckles or Amy (yes i like amy, sorry i grown with her classic design) is a good thing.

@Raylax
Don't compare the awesome Eggrobo with those plain eggpawn-like-fools

So many capcom ports in so little time.
But this one is a good deal, even to me, that i don't own a single MMZ on GBA.

The port of AA is very bad, but congratulations, you guys can make it even worse that it really is.

It's nice to such pieces of history

@Starwolf_UK
Something seemed fishy about the whole "GBA Port" i was going to poiting out it, but i was gonna wait to play it myself. So it is really the DS game...
The review is even worse that i thought, it induces people to falsities...
Sorry Spencer, opinion is something i respect, your faulty points i can ignore, but false information is something that i can't really ignore. This port may deserve an 5, but this review fails at almost every level to suport the score... i hope this doesn't become an Nintendo Life standart.

@Adam
The game may not be your thing, but i hardly see how this review could influence your opinion, that says almost nothing of the game itself, just says "buawww bad port, buawww it's not like a real trial."

Like i say to EarthBound don't like picky people, Just play the game until the end and then i can understand your opinion, since by then you can evaluate the overall product.
First you say that Sega never did good games...now...so much dissapoitment in you, so little time

It was a lazy port, it was a fair score considering that.
But it uses some amateur arguments like bashing for not being an "tool to learn about the juridical system". Ace Attorney never tried to be that. It's futuristic flawed one, made to speed up processes, an fictional system, where an suspect is "Guilty until proved inocent", one that doesn't even have an jury for the same reasons (this in the english version). It's like stating Street Fighter sucks for not being an realistic martian arts tornament.
An stating that the gameplay is like an confusing e-book... it's just plain sad... just because don't play as an regular adventure game? This just shows how much the conclusion was forced with all that "praise"... With all my respect to the reviewer, while the score itself and some points of the review are "fair" at most, others are just plain sad, almost comparable with basied fanboy or picky gamer, not the kind i use to read on this site.

@Ryuuga
I agree with you just one thing...
Behold your PC version artwork! Link: http://blog.capcom.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/saiban04.jpg
THE JP PC VERSION NEVER... let me say again... >>NEVER<<< HAD BETTER ART!
It's was other lazy port just like this one, that was just your usual gaming news tricking you again.

@Atlantis1982
Well these remakes also have the crystal new stuff, so an "remake crystal" version is kinda pointless

Bowser Inside Story? Already?
...

I'm not taking the risk, and i'm going to import from US.
I don't want to lose the Game Corner.

@SeanAaron
"Spinny Wheel Attack"? Sean it's very dissapoiting that you don't know the name of the most iconic ability of the Metroid series!

(But i guess your aren't used to the series, since MP3 hardly have backtracking, and infinite Screw Attacks jumps are very easy to make, comparing to other Metroids.)

"Any guesses as to Mario's favourite film?"
No it's not the Mario Bros. Movie

EDIT:@BlueProtoman Ur a Ninja!

@Adam
"Never did."
You usually say the right thing, but "never did"?...
never other two words showed so much blindness.

@Uel
I will choose Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Phantasy Star 4 over World and Link to the Past any day. It's an matter of opinion and prespective.
"There were only a few games that would hold up in today's environment." the same could be said about any old console, even the mighty SNES.

@Rapadash6
"Sorry, but it'll BE Final Fantasy II as it should be."
With all my respect, (don't mean to insult you) "as it SHOULD be?" How the fourth tittle in the main series deserves more the number two than the number two itself? Because, in the several releases of IV, the single US SNES cart says "II"? I just hope your not of those that shove II,III and V into the trash just because they don't trigger the nostalgia switch.
And ironicaly, while an name doesn't matter in a game in general, in this particular case i see it as a way to put Final Fantasy II even more in the shadow and to recive one of the worst deformed versions of Final Fantasy IV in VC, it's enough to disturb my enjoyment.

But i can respect, and see why in the VC is "II" after all, it's propose it's to play the SNES version, like it was the 90s.
What i can't understand is how some people like say "the Number II" as the "absolute truth" in this Final Fantasy name.
I just hope that the VC manual explains why this version is named II...

Final Fantasy II... Final Fantasy II...
Dman nostalgic americans i know you all want 4... you only want to continue to mislead everyone.
No one thinks about the REAL Final Fantasy II... ;_;

Another cluess moneyeater man-in-suit... Like my poor loved Sega isn't already hurted by little purple dogs fail-marketing creators...
NEXT!...

@Wolfcoyote
I sold mine, for me owning the same game on the same plataform was kind stupid.

@postmanX3
If you call lossing two 2-D efects exclusive from pal version, because samus's weapon now moves, "worse graphics". Yes it's true.
Otherwise i must say that information is false, generated from the usual wii media troll bashing.

Silence fans (costumers) this way?
This maybe one of the worst bussiness decision of Nintendo ever made.

Enjoy

A Phoenix Wright demo here would be nice.

@Sabrewing
As much Snes Dracula X borrows from Rondo of blood, if you played both you could see that they are different games.
And i didn't say that they were unrelated, in fact i said the opposite in my post.

Actually was Rondo of Blood, not Dracula X, that was released on the PSP
(Both an Remake and Original in the same disc with Symphony of the Night.) But since Dracula X is like an non-canon bastard child of Rondo...
The reading of this matter is almost the same.
