A sequel to the surprisingly good Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (many, myself included, preferred it over Mario Kart Wii) has been confirmed. One can only hope it's as good, if not better, than the original. Hopefully they'll get even more obscure with the roster, and maybe this time actually get Segata Sanshiro in.

[Brodie]

Sold, and sold.

[Samhain]

Sounds promising.

I loved the first game, it was so awesome! Can't wait for this game!

[Zany Orange Dude]

Well, I know where my money is going. I wonder if Nights will be in it? Not that it will matter really for me since I can pretty much guarantee that I will be playing as Sonic. But I still hope the flying jester is more than just the referee this time around.

[Cure]

PLEEEEEEEEASE have Sam from Vanquish sliding around on his knees. Please!

[Peanut]

I played so much of the first one and this excites me to no end. I hope they really dig and pull out some fantastic stuff for characters and tracks. The first game was way too heavy on a handful of franchises where levels were concerned.

Also, yes. Platinum Games characters up in this sh*t please!

Hey, that's great news!

Personally, anything that gives NiGHTS a cameo gets bonus points in my book. And when I learned Shenmue was a playable character in the first game, I got giddy. My only major disappointment was that ToeJam & Earl couldn't join the party. Also, the framerate was a little clunky on the Wii, but that's no surprise.

Psst.

Shenmue isn't a person.

Aw... yeah, my bad. That slip probably came as a result of the fact that I just made up my own name for him when I played through the Dreamcast version. I never could figure out if the name should be pronounced as it was spelled in the subtitles. Those Fuku-son and Ine-san pronunciations never sounded convincing to me.

Anyway, did Ryo get to drive his forklift around in the first game? I figured it might have been unlockable.

Consequently, my Shenmue experience on Dreamcast primarily consisted of getting the allowance money every morning and running down to the arcade to waste it away on trinkets and games.

I think the forklift ended up being super over-priced DLC.

Ah... pity then! But still cool that it existed at all!

[Peanut]

So, I guess it takes place during the American Revolution and stars a Native American assassin. Tomahawk assassinations sound beast!



I'm REALLY glad they took a complete left turn with the setting. Say what you want about enjoying AC2-2 and AC2-3, those games felt stale as f*ck and made my interest in a new title in the series drop to zero. That changes with such a radical setting change. Excited to see more about this now.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Lookin forward to more info. Will be gettin this issue

[愛]

I'm not even gonna lie, this looks just incredible. I'm already sold on the setting alone. I was wondering when the next one would take place, and they threw me completely off with this announcement. I wanna flintlock someone in the face!

[Cure]

I'm pretty excited for the tomahawk, too. And I think a bow is cooler than a crossbow.

[AquaParade]

I've had Zero interest since Revelations was announced, but this perks it up a little. I was really hoping for it to take place in Feudal Japan, but kinda gave up on that idea a while back. This seems pretty cool.

I know this probably doesn't really fall into the subject of this topic, but I didn't think making another topic for this would be necessary. Also, sorry if this has already been said, but it seems the Wii Version of Sonic 4: Episode 2 has been canceled. The 360 and PS3 Version's still seem ok. There still isn't a release date though.

I don't think the Wii version of Ep2 was "cancelled" so much as it was just never announced. Sega figured they just wanted to focus on the "viable" platforms. I'd expect this Ep. will now be in HD as well, since they don't have to worry about accommodating the poor Wii.

Perhaps they are planning a re-release on the Wii U though.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well i guess i'll get it on 360 then
