Hopefully NoA decides to give us a discount over here to us westerners

PopRocks3593925d ago

Hold up, isn't that a Sega decision? Or am I missing something here?

Elem1873924d ago

It should be a SEGA decision.. Nintendo only takes a cut of whatever SEGA puts up
I think Nintendo's licensing for retail games is $10.

Sega might be doing this only for Japan because they feel it wont sell very well in Japan. Sega knows westerners love Sonic games, so the same deal might not arrive here.

GenericNameHere3925d ago

That's what everyone's supposed to be doing. Making digital games cheaper than retail. Vita and 3DS already do it.

nick3093925d ago

Hopefully ps4 goes there as well.

CandyFace3925d ago

It won't. Handheld games are cheaper than home console games and PS4 will be in the expensive end just like it always has been.

Elem1873924d ago

Its $50 at retail as well, but you get an awesome art book.

Dj7FairyTail3924d ago (Edited 3924d ago )

yeah I have the limited edition but the eshop is just the game but cost same.

Sonic Game Writers Had ‘Very Little Say’ On Story Scripts

The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.

-Foxtrot98d ago

They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.

phoenixwing96d ago

My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.

DarXyde96d ago

Performative for optics, I would think.

It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)

Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.

Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?

It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.

Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr

Profchaos97d ago

Nothing new sonic forces was meant to be far darker then sega got cold feet and they did the same old power of friendship ending

It seems Nintendo now restricts international purchases on eShop from certain countries

Users will be greeted with error code 2813-2470 if they try to purchase something from the Argentinian eShop without having a bank card or gift card registered for that particular country.

An unsurprising move from Greedtendo

They need to start quality control and getting rid of the shovelware garbage that's been infecting eShop lately.

Nintendo Shuts Down eShop Services In Russia After A Year's Suspension

Nintendo has decided to cease its eShop services in Russia starting from May 31 in a largely expected move.

Leeroyw326d ago

Good. You can't invade a foreign sovereign country and expect things to go on hunky dory. Queue the Russian bots to down vote me. I don't care. This is not okay. A child and her mother killed over night. In their own home. In their own country.
