...but it has Joe from Shinobi~
When you said classic Sega noise, I was hoping for either saaaayy-ga, or Sega scream.
Not disappointed.

Get my copy tomorrow.
Hopefully the online game is more balanced this time. No more 1st place finishing 10 minutes before the rest of the pack.

its the saaaay-ga one, not right at first, that generic new one is first, but right before the intro plays the classic one plays

Oh I didn't know the other versions were that cheap also, I mean mainly compared to the other $59.99 Wii U launch titles, this one stands out.

Strange, I saw the PS3 version for sale at Target here in Australia yesterday (14/11). Priced at $49 too which should see it do pretty well.
Planning on grabbing the 3DS version, loved the first game!

Subscribed, though I shouldn't have looked at the racer list though in the OP though...I was trying to avoid the final unlock (Segabot) until proper the release date. Unless I happen to find it being sold early around here, I'm sticking with my newegg preorder, though again, PS3 users get shafted on exclusives.

Yeah, it's already released here. Strange. I might head down to the store and pick it up. The price is quite nice, $48 at EB.
Might check in with Target on my way home from apartment hunting.
Quick impressions of the PS3 version (39.99$CAN):
Feels like a Sega arcade racer, sounds & music etc. fits perfectly.
Controls are great, better than the 1st game. Plane gets some time to get used to but is pretty much spot on. Drifting with boat & plane feels a bit weird.
Framerate is a solid in between 25 & 30, no visible drops but doesn't
feel as smooth as 30fps... so let's say it's a solid 27fps.
There are races, drift challenges & boost challenges as well. Maybe more. Waaay more fun than the challenges seen in other games like Dirt...
Motion blur is in. Not the best I've seen though.
Not really jaggy, shadows are done with the same technique used with the PS3 version
of Assassin's Creed 2 (can't remember the technical name but it looks good).
It's probably sub HD, can't explain why but it feels like Sonic Generations / Sega Rally graphically in some ways..
Saw tearing but very rarely.
Not a lot of options, didn't find a way to download the bonus from inside the game.
Bonus is on the disk, download is a key (100kb).
Loading a track takes around 20 sec.
No mandatory installation, no install option either.

I hope it'll be faster on Wii, I got used to MK super fast loading. At least it's faster than ModNation.

I hope my local GS gets a few extras of this for Wii U, gonna go try and pre-order a last minute copy Friday. The recent streams and stuff people were showing got me way interested.

My local Target (southern California) had this in today. Starting it up now!
cool live stream, guy has been streaming through hard mode, looks pretty challenging and fast! and theres still a mode after this mode to unlock that's even harder and faster

Jesus Christ, that drifting challenge looks hard as fuck!

Some of these missions are quite challenging, but each mission does have a difficulty level selection. What difficulty you choose affects a few things, such as the higher difficulty you choose the faster you go (that applies to all cars as the difficulty is selected for the match as opposed to individually).
I do love the variety of these missions, though. They are a lot of fun. I think my favorite so far is the boss rounds.

A partial one, apparently.

Yeah, the achievements for this might be more fun than the first game. Wreck It Ralph sounds like John C Reilly to me, whereas the voice in his trailer was definitely a sound-alike.
Thanks, watching now!
Man, I plan to get this for PS3 but I will certainly look out for Steam sales so I can see this in action, lol

Very interested in the PC version. Unfortunately, not interested enough to pay full price. I would love to have a fun kart racer on PC, finally.

I'm playing the 360 version, and I've had the game freeze on me twice now, both times at loading screens.
Game is pretty damn fun otherwise, but this is kind of annoying.

Did you get the release day patch when you started it? It's supposed to fix that stuff.

EDIT: Ninja'd. But they look cool as hell, probably will buy this on two consoles then.
That is so fucking cool. I can't believe they are in the game!

Nope, didn't get prompted to download a patch when I started it.
I guess it's not up yet since it isn't release day yet? Oh well. I guess that's what I get for buying it early.
Beginning to feel that maybe the Scout would have been a better fit over the Pyro - given that he's speed orientated, and how his cocky quips would of fit the competitive racing nicely. The Spy-Plane seems bizarrely thrown in there too as an All-Star.
Maybe Valve has an update in mind for those characters related to ASRT? It was the case for Total War: Shogun iirc. Still, it's great to see the effort they went through to include them.

Yep, you most likely wont get it until the 18th.
