That Link costume.. I don't know whether to be horrified or laugh...

Also, I KNEW it! I knew either Lia? Ilia? However it's spelled or one of the kids with their wooden swords and slingshot would be there!

Sure, I use memes a lot myself. Yes, they're a good way to fool around with friends and funny in the right context. But no way, NO WAY will I EVER play this RUBBISH. Just watching the video I have a hard time focusing on one thing and the guy yelling just irritates the hell out of me. I play games for FUN, not to be irritated!

Why are people moaning about a lack of American ones? I thought America got the same ones as us...

@Drobotic Exactly, I'm exactly the same. It's really getting to me how everyone's finding the smallest things to bash about this game. Glitches happen, almost all the ones I've seen so far have been forced anyway. Bad textures don't matter as long as they're not REALLY awful, which they aren't. Dropped framerates, who cares? Not me, as long as it's not as bad as Assassins Creed: Unity.

But... who pauses the game mid-jump, unpauses it, taps jump again then pauses it again in such quick succession unless they're TRYING to glitch the game? There's no way that was an accidental find.

It just looks like Minecraft to me which still doesn't interest me. Sorry but I'll pass.

@Steel76 Sonic Rush and the Sonic Advance series says hi.

@hydeks Try the 3DS demo then say that.. Yeah, it's not the same game but it's still SEGAs and it's still being released at the same time. Also, there have been good Sonic games since '06 and before '06 (aside from Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 4 and Sonic Chronicles).

@DESS-M-8 Not true, they delayed Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Unleashed. I think Sonic Chronicles too. I see your point though just... not in SEGAs case. lol

@AVahne Not... really.. That's your opinion, fair enough but it actually looks very fun, especially with friends which is the main focus of the game. Besides, if you don't like Sonic, why are you looking at a Sonic game? It's only Sonic that's been bad in the general publics eyes for so long so that's clearly what you were getting at in your first comment, don't try to deny that.

Oh and fyi, SEGA recently started fixing Sonic Adventure DX on Steam and Boom is being developed by a different team so who knows, they might fix it. You don't know yet.

The framerates aren't even that bad, I just watched it. It's a bit jumpy in places but that's bearable. Also, bear in mind it's in co-op, that's bound to cause issues anyway, it's trying to run several models, connections etc. and such at once.

@AVahne Again, may I bring to your attention the file corrupting Pokemon X/Y had and the banning glitch SSB 3DS has? Much more game breaking than falling through a floor. At least you can just restart the game and no harm is done.

Also textures and framerates do not a fun game make. You want something that looks pretty? Go watch a film or TV show.

@AVahne 'Cause 1 glitch, a few bad textures and low framerate = crap. Of course. God-forbid the game might actually be enjoyable.

Oh and the Miku games are rare in the west. There's been a sum total of 2 released in the West so far. We never got any of the PSP or 3DS games (they fell silent on that one 3DS one, surprise, surprise).

Oh no, one glitch. From going where you shouldn't. I guess that makes every game in existence bad then, right? No game is perfect, there's always at least one glitch that slips through the testing phase. Are we forgetting about that glitch in Pokemon X/Y that corrupted peoples saves in Lumiose City? That was only about a year ago. Oh and that banning glitch in SSB 3DS, that was this year.

Also, I still don't get the obsession with framerates nowadays. If you can still play a PS1/N64/Dreamcast game all of which existed before 60fps was even a thing, you can put up with less than 60fps in a new game. Get over it.

@zool I totally agree with that, especially when they claim that's why they won't localise certain games that were released in America. Why don't they just redo the age rating and compatibility and ship the US copy to us? This especially reminds me of the time Insomniac and Sony refused to put the Spyro trilogy on the EU PSN store. Why? Because of "translation issues". They finally caved and gave it to us and what did we get? The US port. WHY didn't they do that in the first place?!

By "since the DSi" do you mean after or during the DSis lifetime? Because my DSi runs American game cards despite being a European console that was bought brand new on release...

On another note, I hope this means the New 3DS will have no region lock because I REALLY want to own and play Hatsune Miku Project Mirai and Digimon World Re: Digitize Decode (I ended up importing the PSP original instead since they fell silent on localizing the 3DS remake which has extra content). Unfortunately this means there aren't enough games I want to make buying a Japanese 3DS worth my time or money so I'd much rather have a region-free European 3DS so I can still play all the European releases I love too.

To those who are talking about unbalance in Smash Bros., first off, that's always been the case. Secondly, it's normal for a fighter to have a certain level of unbalance. You can't have everyone with the exact same stats and abilities. The trick is to take advantage of the characters strengths and weaknesses instead of just pummeling them and hoping you'll win somehow.

Anyway, on topic. HERE, HAVE A BAN FOR LIFE AND THEN SOME!

@RedKnightXIII Not if you're being spammed with a homing attack or Pit keeps flying/using arrows from far away/using the spinning sword thing to deflect long range moves.

@RedKnightXIII Sonic and Pit say hi again. Everyone spammed Sonics homing attack and Pits bow and arrows and spinning sword thingy moves in Brawl.

@RedKnightXIII Uh, Mewtwo, Pichu, Jigglypuff, Pit (Brawl) and Sonic (Brawl) ALL say hi there.

@DarkNinja9 They never said you can't from the get-go...

@mowerdude I think you can with friends, I think I saw them on the stage select screen when I played with friends but I haven't tried any other online modes yet, only the with friends one.

Uh, hey, why isn't anyone in the comments mentioning the Animal Crossing track that is very obviously going to happen? There's a massive Animal Crossing leaf on one of the DLC Grand Prixs, it even shows the track when you click on it then next... There's a Yoshi shell, Triforce, Animal Crossing leaf and bell with a face (unsure what that one is). Pretty big hints if you ask me.

Anyway, on topic, looking foward to all the DLC for this game! I just got it on Thursday but I'm already hooked! I'm going to pre-pay for the whole season pass later on in anticipation (I wasn't left with enough money for it after buying the Mario Kart 8 premium bundle).

@SockoMario Then I stand corrected. Can't blame me for being cautious before following him or commenting anywhere there though.

Uh, I don't think the Youtube channel you linked us to is his... There's nothing about Smash Bros., Nintendo or user requests for this kind of thing on there... Not to mention he looks way too young for that voice... I think it's just some poor sap you found with the same name...

Oh wait, just watched the video, my bad, should've done that first. I don't like the placement of the power button then, I can see it getting knocked too easily down there, especially if it's in a bag...

@DarkKirby There is a second circle pad. It states it in the article and it's that little nub just above the X/Y/A/B buttons.

@Frapp It has? All I see is a stylus to the left and a game card slot to the right, nothing else... O_o I need a view of the actual underside...

Has anyone else noticed the lack of a power button or switch? Or am I just being blind?

@Crimzonlogic Nah, only a couple did.

So many people moaning about it being in Gamestop... At least you're getting it full-stop! Those of us in other countries aren't getting it at all as of yet so just suck it up and go into the store most of us don't have! You should feel privileged but no, you HAVE to complain about SOMETHING! Kids these days...

@Artwark Uhm, they already said several times that Sonic Boom IS NOT part of the main series. Sorry but I'm getting fed up with the people who don't bother to find this out and just act like it's changing the main series when it ISN'T.

On topic, I really don't like the visual style used on this, it looks like Sonic 4 which I also really don't like. Sorry but pixels beat this... illustrated style? every time. However, not one to judge a book by its cover or, in the case of games, a game by its graphics, I'll wait and see how this turns out before moaning it's rubbish.

@Genesaur That doesn't make them bad, as you implied. You're seriously telling me a cyborg rabbit who was half turned into a robot before being rescued is worse than a normal, 6 year old rabbit who... What was the point in her existence again? Just because you, personally, don't like something doesn't automatically mean it's bad.
Oh and for the record, I said better lore, not more lore.

@Rect_Pola Completely agreed, 100%. Finally, someone else who sees sense! I really don't get why people hate her look, I recall a lot of people loving Marine and Cream before they were seen in action, this love was based on the design which isn't far off this one. She also presents me with an air of Tikal, another character a lot of people love. Then there's Princess Sally Acorn, Bunny Rabbot and NICOLE (after she becomes a Mobian) more much-loved characters, this time from the comics, there's some similarities with their designs too.

It's so pretty!

@Genesaur Right, they can be worse. Most of the Archie characters actually look really good and are much more detailed than anyone you see in the games. They also have much more personality and much better lore surrounding them.

@Donjwolf Yeah, sorry, I realised my mistake and deleted it. My bad!

@Shambo Exactly. Also, athletic tape because, well, they're athletic (Tails less-so because he isn't as much as the others and none on Sticks because she's wild, no way to get it or even know what it is), scarf on Sonic looks like it might cover his face sometimes (think, he runs fast, what happens when you move fast? Stuff flies up into your face), Goggles, tool belts and headphones (sometimes) on Tails because he's a techy and a pilot ('nuff said), Amy in a shorter, sleeker dress to allow for better mobility.

@JaxonH Completely agreed there. Nothing should ever be judged on first impressions. There's still time for tweaks and improvements and we haven't even seen her in action yet. She could be just as good as Sonic and co. or she could be as bad as Charmy, Big and Cream, we don't know yet. Wait until there's actual footage of her before just hating her outright.

@unrandomsam That slide turned out to be fake. It was discovered a while ago.

@AlexSora89 True but my point was that the guy I initially responded to was using his 'nostalgia goggles' and longing for Sonic of the '90s when the '90s in fact introduced its own share of bad and annoying characters to the series.

@AlexSora89 Which was what era? The '90s. Please don't tell me you never found her annoying... Following the hero around like a lost puppy, screaming at him at every opportunity once voice acting was introduced...

@Daruncic You mean the era when such annoying characters as Amy, Charmy and Ray entered the series?

@SamirMalik That too. lol

@Shambo Don't worry, I like the redesign too, I always have. I think they're actually much more logical than the original designs.

@TantXL To appeal to a new audience, the same reason as to why they changed 'classic' Sonic to 'modern' Sonic?

@MASAHIROSAKURI Oh, yeah, 'cause one character totally makes a whole game and show. rolls eyes

@TheWhiteFalcon So you want another Sonic 1 or Sonic 3D Blast? The series has almost always had more then one playable characters with more than one playstyle, it's the staple of the series. Every time they remove that (after Sonic CD), it goes wrong.

@SamirMalik Oh, ok, sorry. Looks like we both misunderstood something here. My bad! ^_^'

@Mega719 Or Ty the Tazmanian Tiger.
