    Most likely it is the same situation that has been happening with TJ&E lately. Sega THINKS they own them, start doing something with them, and the original creator guys go "uh hey Sega, remember that talk we had about you not actually owning them? And how we'd maybe like to get paid a little bit?" and then Sega realized they'd have to involve money in it and back out.

    I don't think they are opposed to it, I think Sega just refuses to actually give them any compensation. That big "genesis poll" website awhile back shows the situation quite well. Earthworm Jim was doing well in the voting, then Sega realized they don't own it and had to take it off. Toejam & Earl then won. And of course there has been no word about it since because of this situation.

    Dear Sega: just because it came out on the genesis does not mean you own the IP. Toejam & Earl was conceptualized and mostly developed by TWO GUYS. Sega corporate basically forced them to make the sequel into a platformer instead of the more unique format of the original. They have a history of messing with those guys, it's pretty lame. They should really just start actually paying them some money because yes I DO want TJ&E in this kind of game, and I also want future TJ&E games as well. One of the guys posted concept art for a DS version of the game with like 4 players, of course so far no one is interested. Good job, Sega.

    (probably somewhat inaccurate/misinformed but that's how I feel about things right now rant over)

    Re: the game itself, lol sonic in a car again, but Ryo on a forklift, and the fact that Opa Opa and the Bonanza Bros are in is pretty cool. Opa Opa should have Harrier riding on him or something.

    Please let Space Harrier, Shinobi (Joe Musashi), and Wonder Boy on a skateboard be in it. Please Sega.

    OK, finally just watched the trailer video. Looks like I'm gonna have to at least give it a rental. Looks like some crazy OutRun 2/SF Rush/Mario Kart hybrid (with RYO HAZUKI, of course).
    I'm in.

    The two are essentially the same, but different. Wonder Boy was a bit of a Sega mascot in his own right as well. I have him and Alex Kidd (and some other old Sega stars) standing next to each other. Think it was in Sega Challenge.

    Maybe we should start a movement showing pictures of people buying the game at full price, with the receipt visable, and send them all to sega with "now take this money and finish Shenmue"

    Why won't they let PS3 owners use their Home avatars in the game? Thats descrimination. They should atleast let them use Sackboy as a PS3 exclusive character, if only because it's fun to say Sackboy.

    That wheel looks fucking awful! Give me the Wii Wheel that comes with Mario Kart any day.

    They're both equally stupid. Adding a useless chunk of plastic to the controller doesn't make Mario Kart control any better, and I doubt it'll be any different here.

    That's subject to opinion. Many agree with you, but I know a lot of people who never race in MK Wii without the wheel.

    I know people who insist on using a racing wheel even though they admittedly do better with a pad in just about every game. It has more to do with being stuck in the land of make believe than it does with actually controlling the game better.

    I guess, too each their own though. I'm still torn on which version to get though.

    I just played the demo for this on XBL and I enjoyed it. The power-ups are mostly familiar if you've ever played a kart racing game before but they threw in a few surprises. I definitely can't wait to see all the special moves the Avatars can do but unfortrunately they are not playable in the demo.

    Although it was just a demo, there seemed to be very little room for error if you actually wanted to come in first. The computer controlled characters will race as if they are Nascar vets, rarely slowing down for anything. You also need to drift alot in order to keep up with the rest of the pack. I'm not going to pick this up on day one but eventually I'll get it. It will be another one of those games that's replay value goes thru the roof once you throw in XBL support.

    I tried the demo also. I was kinda impressed with it. But like you mentioned, the AI did not take it easy lol. It's also nice to see something Shenmue related in the game, Ryo Hazuki as a character.

    The AI is set to Advanced in the demo, you can change it on the menu screen by pressing Y I think. Took me three goes on that setting to get first in the race...

    This will make a nice addition to my 360 library. Assuming advanced is equal to 150cc on Mario Kart, I guess it'll just take some time getting used to the courses and shortcuts, as I came in 6th my first run.

    Same goes for fighting gamers who are convinced that they're better on a stick, right?
