From what he said about the improved physics, Episode 2 sounds like a winner to me! Definitely getting it when it comes out

Does the demo save your scores or not?

April can't come soon enough I pre-ordered this game back when I thought it was coming out in January lol, it's been a long long wait but it'll be worth it! It's weird how Sega games always do that lol, I mean even Sonic Generations was really cheap after a couple of weeks.

Does it have advanced and traditional shots like PS3? I hated how traditional players on the PS3 version got gimped by less distance on their shots so unless you learnt how to play advanced you would end up losing online.

Totally forgot this game was coming out, now I have no money for it I'll just buy it in a few months time. I don't even watch the show but the game is fun lol

According to this post there's room for more guest characters and Akira will have the same crazy strict inputs like VF My fave VF character is Lion but that was when I was a button bashing kid playing VF2 on the Sega Saturn :p BTW you can get a demo of this game with Ninja Gaiden 3 on Xbox 360 and PS3. The Collector's Edition of NG3 has 4 playable characters - Ryu Hayabusa, Ayane, Hitomi and Hayate. The normal Xbox 360 version only has Hitomi and Hayate and the PS3 version has Ryu and Ayane.

Akira should fit in easily since the games have the exact same button layout, the only difference being that Dead or Alive has the whole hold system. I dunno if I'll get Dead or Alive 5, even though I enjoyed the 3DS game I already have too many fighting games that I barely play lol. I do like the brand new graphics, all the characters look great.

I just had a look, it seems they STILL haven't made the controls any better but at least now I know why they felt so weird. It says that moving the stylus slowly adjusts your aim and moving it quickly spins the camera.

Well I've finished solo mode and that's it... Really not a game for single players like myself lol but I did play it with @Josh64 too and that's where it really shines. I agree with MicroLovePony's review

If you want games by release date then you should pre-order online cause most of the time they're cheaper and arrive a day (or in ShopTo's case, 2 days) before the official release date. I've been running through the solo mode, gotta do Bowser's Station and then I'm gonna try and unlock the DK stage. Sucks that you can't play as him

I got that vibe too off the trailer... Hopefully they'll run through a stage straight up and we can see what it's like. Even Sonic Generations had better physics than Sonic 4 Episode 1

The stages look cool but I can't tell if they've improved the controls or if it's as bad as Episode 1.

I never played this game and don't even know what it's about but I love the musician (he did the Sonic Rush soundtrack) and SEGA is my favourite games company so I'll probably buy it.

I think @killer kirby meant niche, not cliche

It's really easy to get past the Wii's region lock, all you need to do is install the Homebrew Channel and then Priiloader. If you need any help send me a PM.

Only 4 of the stages from the GBA version have been included in the Wii game and there are a few stages with characters from the previous games but they're all pretty different. You need to get the DS one and the Wii one to experience true (rhythm) paradise! Too bad the GBA game was only released in Japan.

I guess they won't post news about One Direction's latest Nintendo promotions on the European Twitter lol

Nintendo UK is for all us UK folks and Nintendo Europe is for the people who don't get a Twitter account for their own country e.g. the Scandinavians. As for Facebook this is their official 3DS page but I don't think they have just an overall Nintendo page - http://www.facebook.com/nintendo3dsuk

It's too bad that the publishers for Catherine suck because unlike in America and Japan I have a feeling the game won't sell too well here, and instead of blaming the publishers Atlus will think that Europe isn't interested in their games so they'll continue using crap publishers. Just imagine Persona 5 if that was published by SEGA, they'd do a great job advertising it and get stock to the shops in time.

I had to play the game on easy lol, got the Normal Lovers ending today just through answering the questions honestly. Gonna play it again soon and see what I get next!

Got back from expo, was pretty good. I should've practiced on Last Story before going so I could've won a free copy of the game lol but oh well. When me and @Josh64 got there we realised we couldn't make an N-Europe meet up happen cause we didn't organise anything on here before heading out lol

Some more screenshots are available here + a new trailer will be released on Thursday at 5PM GMT http://www.sonicstadium.org/2012/02/sega-officially-releases-nine-more-sonic-4-episode-2-screenshots/

I wonder if it's actually 3D or is it just really good 2D graphics? Either way this looks PHENOMENAL and I can't wait to get it

I've got both the Japanese and American versions of this game now and you're right Mike, the soundtrack isn't as good as the DS and GBA versions of the game... I'm really not impressed with the American game, they've changed all the voices but the voice acting is pretty bad. The only one I like in the American version is the Wrestler stage, everything else just has that annoying nasally American feel to it.

Tekken 3 is the best one too so if you didn't like that then you'll never get into the Tekken series! :p I'm gonna pass on this game since I already have Dead or Alive on 3DS and Tekken 6 on PS3. Well the game does come with a movie so if you want story you have that lol.
