Ah fair enough. As long as they still function, I don't mind. Hopefully they'll iron the bug out in a patch. I'm sure they're probably aware of the issue already anyway!

That looks like the normal level layout and not a boost race layout, sumo goofed up then
Boost race layouts have no item pickups and a boost pad at every possible place.Hero of Legend

Verdict on the Wii U version?
I can't really compare it to the other versions, but I'm really enjoying it. Beautiful (albeit busy) game, fantastic controls, etc...

More problematic than not having boost pads, it doesn't even seem to have the checkpoints.

Steve Lycett (S0L) commented that it's the closest to the 30 goal out all consoles, ironic since it was first shown to have a horrid framerate.

At least I don't feel like I'm awful at the game now haha! I was thinking "Man, this is just so ridiculously hard."

Who purchased the Wii U version? My copy arrives this Wednesday.
Couldn't tell you personally. I haven't noticed any significant hiccups, then again I've played plenty of PC games that I couldn't lock at 30 without being bothered at all (blasphemy I know).

The Wii U version has been great so far (other than being unable to complete the boost challenge due to a glitch). The off screen single player/local split screen is really cool.
I can't recommend though until I know if that glitch is with all copies or just me. I think it's just me
Anybody have any ideas on who to contact about this?

I've got the Wii U version and will play this first as soon as the update finishes (about 30 minutes in right now) and I transfer my Wii data, make the Mii, etc, etc. So much to do before actually playing a game nowadays - life was much simpler in 1991 when you threw Mario World in, powered on, and pressed start!

S0L posts here but you could also post it on the sega forums for the game. They probably check there more often.
So I found a video of Outrun Bay on the 360 and watched them side by side with normalmode's video of Outrun Bay on the Wii U.
I watched them with 720p HD on youtube, but I think the Wii U's visuals are just a tad sharper and the colors are cooler than the 360 version. Looks like the Wii U version just may be the best after all

Anyone know anything about Battle Arena? I need more details!

Looks like I might be triple-dipping on this, assuming the PC version runs well
and has team fortress

What's nintendo's policy on patches? to fix that boost challenge, it's going to be extremely annoying to a lot of new players.
There's a few on 3DS, and evidently the Wii U has the infrastructure for them already, so they'll probably patch it soon. Sumo's probably waiting to be able to knock out a bunch of bugs at once, though.

Do we know if anyone else is affected? It shouldn't be too long if everyone is, as that challenge is relatively early.

I swear the Wii U version has better lighting going by the Outrun vids.
30ish? I can't really tell.

Does anyone knows when will be available for PC?

Supposedly, it's being released in February.
Video of Dragon Canyon on the Wii U. I can definitely see that the textures and lighting look better here compared to the 360/PS3 versions. Now I wish I had enough for a Wii U and this game this year...

OMG.... I just.... need to wait
Thx bro!
i don't think it will be that long, Sonic Adventure 2 PC release is about a month later. so expect that probably. For some reason SEGA doesn't want to release PC counterparts right away anymore. Oh well, gives them more time to debug it.

You're right, it happened with SA2 and according to Sega it will be launched tomorrow, so I'd rather that they take their time to debug it and launch a decent port... in the meantime I'll be playing SA2!
Thank you bro

I hope you're right. I'd love for it to be released this year. It's a great game that deserves more attention but it also deserves a better framerate and higher resolution!

verdict on Sonic Racing Wii U online?
I would test it out myself but kids are hogging the wii u at the moment.

Who knows. It's been such a cluster fuck of a launch. We don't know anything about a number of the ports.
It wasn't at my EBgames, hoping it is on the eshop.

Yeah. I want the game on PC too. Been planning to upgrade my GPU for both PSO2 and this game, but also getting the PS3 version.
I'm personally worried about NiGHTS PC. Apparently it hasn't sold well on XBLA, don't know PSN sales, but if it did bad there too, SEGA might not have any incentive to even release it on PC.

I ended up grabbing the 360 version a couple of days ago at a local Target and it's been a blast. One part of me wants the PC version, right now. But the other part wants to be able to enjoy the game to the fullest and it's hard knowing a porentially superior version is right around the corner.
God, I hope I'm not jinxing the PC release. I'll be so bummed if they lock the framerate or something.

I've heard a lot of complaints about the control (both PS3 and 360), I hope that NiGHTS see the light for the PC!
Something I've noticed that really helps in some of the S-rank races and events; the CPU never air drifts, even in places where it wouldn't be that hard to execute. Sanctuary Falls and even the Golden Axe race got a lot easier once I found safe places to pull off rank 3 air drifts.
It was announced for PC alongside the other two, so there's no way that the port isn't already finished and just being withheld like they did with every other digital release. The controls complaints might have held a lot of people off from buying, and maybe they're fixing that alongside a patch for the HD twins.

Same thing happening to me. I tried it like 5 times and thought I was missing something. Sucks that you can't progress in the game without beating this event - hopefully it's patched asap.

I'm thankful that Nintendo's patch fee is free. Hopefully they would put it up asap. I'm going to test online now.

Played it on Wii U. It's pretty much identical to the 360 demo. The framerate is not 30. Appears to be more like 25. Graphically its just as muddy looking as the 360 demo. Feels like a bit of a letdown after the great first game in the series. Blah.
Free patches doesn't = fast patches. It still has to go through all the hoops that patches on other consoles go through.
