I'm pretty sure if they had a Wii U they would have made that clear in their post.
Someone didn't read the stickied "System Wars" thread!
I'm pretty psyched for this update. My wife and I were so frustrated with the boost challenges and I was relieved to learn we're not just terrible at this game.

PC version won't have 5 player local multi (and I say that as a primarily PC gamer)
Then by Crom they better GET ONE!!!

It was posted in the previous page =)
Yup, that's the main appeal in these games. It's far more fun to have people there in person.
Just ordered the Wii U version. I'm not a Sega fan really, so i'm hoping i like more than just the fan service.
I wish Sega would return to their glory days. Then need to make a new Alex Kidd. Many of their games have been weak the past decade but I still root for them to pull it together.

I wont buy a Wii U for this game. If a game came out worthy of me buying a Wii U, I might get this game on Wii U, but for now, I have PS3, 360, and Wii. I don't think I want a Wii version so that leaves 360 or PS3. In this case which ever platform is better for this game I will buy. If its the same either way, I will probably lean towards 360 because I have more friends online with it. Any help would be appreciated.
I wasn't even keen on their glory days, lol. I used to love Golden Axe and Outrun when i was young, but they've not aged well. Loved Shenmue, Monkey Ball and Skies of Arcadia though.
What are the Wii U multiplayer exclusive modes like?
From what I have heard the 360 and PS3 version are equal. If you have more friends on Xbox 360 then get that version.
I also recommend Ms. Splosion Man. It is an awesome downloadable game on the 360. I am a big Mario fan and I think it is better than any 2-d Mario in a long time.
Okay ... pretty sure this one just went up a few minutes ago. Polygon gives it an 8.5.
Shenmue was great for its time. I imported the 2nd one with a converter disc to play it on my Dreamcast. I also loved the first couple of Monkey Balls (and then I stopped getting them because they pumped them out too often) and Skies of Arcadia.
I haven't played Golden Axe for a long time but you are probably right about it not holding up.
I remember stuff like Zillion (which I couldn't beat), Black Belt, and Kung Fu Kid being a cool alternative to Nintendo (even though I prefered Nintendo).
About Sonic Racing.....I haven't got to play much multiplayer yet honestly but the game is better than I thought it would be.
A friend of mine got it and said it was almost, but not quite as good as Mario Kart, so i'm giving it a go.
Oh, and Chu Chu Rocket was brilliant also.
If it helps... no Blue Shell bullshit!
Sometimes the blue shell is needed. Sometimes it is not. there should be an AI controlling when it comes out. At the very least, it keeps the less skilled players intersted as they can still affect the race.
Mario Kart could use a mode that gives points based on the time you've spent in first place.
Yeah....there should be an option in Mario Kart to turn off certain items or to make them random.
That way if you are playing with casuals you can choose to keep the formula going of the people in the back getting the awesome items so they have a good chance of winning.
If you are playing with killers (like me) and if you are skilled too you may want to have items appear at random so that the more skilled person would win the majority of the time.
I still prefer the SNES Mario Kart over all the rest because a skilled would win most of the time even if the person behind them got awesome items. They seemed to change it in later versions that casuals could win a lot more.
Let people choose how they want to play it Nintendo. Crom has spoken.
I think the Swarm's a pretty good alternative. It gives the person in front a good chance to evade it if they're skilled enough, but it can also takes out a few people behind them as well.
But it will have the Manager from Football Manager. So still, best version.
Snowball is pretty good too.

Yeah, Swarm is a "inconvenience racers ahead of you" item done right.
The only item that I don't really like is the snowballs and that's because of how ridiculously fast they are. If someone manages to get you in their sights, there's no way you're avoiding or blocking it if you don't have a glove. Not calling it bad or anything, just kinda salty about being hit from behind by the damn things so many times in S-Class races.

Snowball is good, but I mean I don't care for the item itself. Not power. The Hot Rod is a pretty good item too in terms of potency.
I just like the balance swarm has.
Hot Rod is probably my 2nd favorite item, so fun!

Anyone know when this game comes out on 3DS? Some sites say 12/11 and some say fucking February. Was hoping to pick it up for my son for Xmas.

I always see people say this and it just brings to mind all the times I have played with people that will always be in first no matter what the entire rest of the players throw at them.
They're not casuals, they're just really good at the game.
I second this post.
Personally hate cart games. The appeal for me is the last game was a great Sega arcade racer. That's what I'm hoping for again. And also hoping it does 1080P 3D like a champ (like the previous game did).

Not when I went on around 5:30. I'll try a bit later.

I love what I've seen of this game, can't wait to play it on my PC and 3DS at some point

Medium is too easy, hard is often too hard (or at least the rubber banding is more frustrating)
yeah but you can see them lining up the shot and start evading before they fire. Works easier when you're behind them and they're firing back but you can pretty much watch the arrows showing nearby players to see when they're going for it

may get this eventually, only if the community stays alive on 360

Finally got my copy yesterday and this was pretty much my impression.

Stick with it, and try different characters. Sometimes just using your favorites isn't good enough. I had to step outside my comfort zone and started using Vyse and Ulala, and began winning A and S ranks with them a lot easier than I had before.This game is waaaay too hard for me. I'm lucky if I win a medium race. I have three characters left to unlock on challenge mode and I just can't do it.
Burning Depths is the worst stage ever put in a racing game.
Well, I still haven't found a favorite character, I just switch between different ones, so I am trying different characters. But I still haven't learned to drift properly.

whoa, you series?
Well damn, I might wait for the Wii U version next march and just pick this up on Vita instead.

Maybe the patch is being saved for tomorrow's Nintendo Direct?
