That sounds enough to gauge roughly who's in as costumes me thinks.

God, Wave, Storm and Emerl get costumes, though I am dissapointed by the lack of Marine, Big, and Gemerl, this is quite amazing

[Dantemustdie00]

Yeesh, what's with Sega favoring Sonic Heroes related stuff among all else?

I'm surprised their wasn't a single thing related to Sonic Colors yet, that I know of.


However they do remember Emerl which is kinda of a good sign.

[VEDJ-F]

Erm, wasn't it out today in America?

[speedfreak]

Yeah, it's just not a hotly anticipated game seemingly.

im waiting for my review copy, assuming I get one

*sees Eggman-Nega boss theme*

Oh. Okay thanks ^^. But do you really have to be dickish about it? :/

[VEDJ-F]

To be brutally honest, I think a lot of the reason why people were turned off was because it was revealed that there were no new characters. I mean, I remember with Mario and Sonic Winter, people were speculating which eight new characters would be added since the roster would be unbalanced otherwise, and then there was a huge backlash when people eventually cottoned on and realised there were only going to be four new characters.

I personally think it's a shame it's like this, but hey, I'm still gonna get it on Friday, I don't care about the fandom reaction.

Another big draw of the M&S series are the return of old stages, but compared to Generations, M&S 2012 is weak.

I wonder if we'll keep getting a new one every two years. Honestly I'm pretty sick of them already. I kinda hope this one doesn't sell nearly as well as the past two and they decide to do something else with the crossovers.

As long as Sega has the Olympic Games license, they'll keep making them, so:

I don't doubt it. I was just wondering if they'll ever try something new if the Olympic games ever take a sales nose dive.

[Blue Blood]

So long as these games continue to sell and they hold the license they'll keep making them. But it's up to Nintendo whether or not SEGA will be allowed to use Mario.

Boy, i been waiting for them to do a Mario and Sonic Kart Racer or a soccer game similar to the Mario Strikers games.

SOMETHING more interesting than these Olympics games.

Oh, look what I got on my YouTube in-box today:



Eggman ribbon dancing. I am graceful. I am fabulous. I am genius.

So! I just arrived back home after my week long vacation only to find a copy of Mario & Sonic 3 snuggled cozily in my mailbox aside some delicious spam. Woo woo!

I just sat through the amazing intro and to my delight, was greeted with another welcome letter from Omochao! It brought a smile to my face two years ago, and it brought another smile to my face just now. Its these tiny little things that I just love.

Also the music in this game confirmed for being 20% cooler than the previous two, if the main theme and main menu music is anything to go by! That's some catchy stuff, right there!

EDIT: Holy snap! The Mii system's been totally revamped, and there's loads of new stuff to choose from if the background is to go by! Link's tunic? Ha ha, awesome! It also looks like they've gone all Team Fortress 2 on us you can now create costume loadouts, to switch outfits with ease! That's actually pretty useful, seeing as outfits do alter your stats (if the last game was anything to go by, at least.)

Tsssh. I was just about to post that on here since it just came into my in-box. I have to give major thanks to Clement and his rampant Eggman fanboyism for stealing my YouTube idea posting up exactly what I wanted.

The glorious Eggman. Tremble at his feminine grace. Cower at his synchronized swimming.

I've been having loads of fun with this here game! Red Shy Guy confirmed for best character in the game. He wants to have a lead role so bad.

"I don't have a leading role like you guys, so here I am hosting this trivia quiz."*

London Party Mode is, as I had anticipated, leagues above its predecessors. Unlike the previous game, it actually has quite some substantial replay value! There's loads of party games and NPCs that pop up at random to mix things up a bit, and the sticker collection is pretty expansive. You'll definitely have to play a bit in order to collect them all. The credit card system has also been done away with, and replaced with scratch cards! I'm not sure which out of the two I like better yet, though.

Also, the supporting cast has been extended quite a bit! Kamek, Orbot, Cubot, Spinners, and Cheep-Cheeps have been added to the mix. The other two Babylon Rogues as well as Emerl, out of all people, have also appeared in costume form. Not sure if they appear themselves yet, though! It's a genuine possibility, if Chaos Zero and Birdo's appearances in the previous game as VIPs was anything to go by.

I'm sure there's plenty of more surprises that await! Still waiting to see if some of the other features of the previous games make a return!

* - Speaking of which, there's some relatively obscure trivia in there! Knuckles' love of grapes, for one.

So do the scratch cards just unlock random things? Without a card system how do you buy various goodies?

I wanted to buy the game, but I don't feel up to making a trip to the store. It will probably have to wait until I go out for Generations 3DS.
