It sounds like he deleted it because the game was embargoed and he didn't realize it.  

 

edit:  Beat me to it hogfather

 

by the by, what is the point of a reviews embargo?  Are they worried  about the bad press or what?

I actually didn't even know there was an embargo on reviews, I thought it was more of a do what you want thing.

[Blitz 'n Burst]

Oh boy, only ten days

 

I'm going to try and forget this game exists so I don't find myself counting down the days and making it all the longer

One of those times I wish I lived in the place with the earlier release date, oh well, its good that the people in the UK can play this early atleast.

I been thinking that Dr.Eggman is going to be the final boss and sonic has to destroy that giant vaccum that is sucking all the life and color out of the lost hex. The deadly six will turn good and help sonic defeat Dr. Robotnik

[Lady Soniko]

the Deadly Six won't turn good since Zavok wants world domination as much as Eggman, I think this time SEGA are actually keeping the bad guys, bad guys.

[Celestia]

To be fair, a lot of the non-Eggman villains didn't turn good! The Biolizard, Solaris, the Storybook villains, Dark Gaia...

 

 

 

Oh right, they're all dead/asleep for a few thousand years/etc. Never mind.

I'd welcome that change of pace with open arms. Bonus points if they can make the D6 a recurring factor of the franchise to keep things fresh.

I think get Today AC battery for my 3DS LL, maybe today rip.

I having trouble understanding why you believe the "villians" of this game will suddenly turn good. Just because about half(Shadow...S...Silver, Merlina, Chaos too I guess)the bad guys turned good. None of the stated few were ever evil to begin with, 2 of them were well intentioned to the extreme but using the wrong method, 1 was an angry Water God, and the last one had screwed up priorities. The other bad guys(BioLizard, Metal Sonic, Black Doom, Solaris, Erazor djinn, and Dark Gaia)were not likely. 2 of them were Angry God creatures, 1 was a generic evil alien, 1 was an evil genie, the last 2 were scientific creations that went out of control, they aren't really the type to just become good instantly after being defeated. Besides Metal and Dark Gaia(Who just went back to sleep), they were just killed off. I don't really see the Deedly 6 becoming good, not with their personalities or designs. Re-occuring...maybe, but not actually changing their orientation like that.

Damn

The JP demo has 30 uses. It'll be unlimited uses for me, 'cause I'm NEVER turning off my system after I download the demo, until I buy the full game.

Tutorial and Zone 1 for 3DS. EDIT: NINJA'D. >:U Also apparently you can move to the other zones on the hub, you just can't access them. (That might be the case in the Wii U version too, but we haven't gotten any info on it yet, just that it exists.)

Hey guys.....ranks are back....Has no one noticed that or...?

[Gabz Girl]

Jim Sterling is a bit...biased with his scores (Kirby's Return to Dreamland a 10/10 wut), but I still don't think he's as bad as the likes of Tom Mcshae. God forbid he reviews SLW!

 

Anyways, hopefully this demo will be released over here soon. It's coming out in a matter of days dammit!

Awesome speedrun of Windy Hill 3DS. The spin dash works like in the Wii U (keeps going after a jump), slightly improved Sonic model, and the speed shoe theme is now the Super Sonic theme from Colors!

 

EDIT: It's actually a Reach for the Stars instrumental.

Those kinds of speed ruins aren't going to crop up straight away. The speed runners need time to exploit the secrets.

It seems as though the key with speed running is going to mastering the Spindash and knowing when to opt for it over the run. I noticed that the Spindash seems to go on indefinitely until you release the ZL trigge kind of line the boat except you have to stop to charge it and it sacrifices control.

So was that GamesRadar demo the Japanese demo, or what? I hope the demo comes out on the eShop soon...
