RACE AS A “Mii” IN SEGA ALL-STARS RACING
We would like to wager TEN POUNDS that the SEGA All-Stars Racing Wii box will claim this innovation “Puts you at the heart of the action like never before”, probably with an exclamation mark and Official Nintendo Magazine’s overly-generous 8/10 review score on a red starburst beside it.
Both will then be covered up by a sticker saying £19.99 then a sticker saying £17.99 then a sticker saying £14.99 then a sticker saying TWO FOR £24.99 then a sticker saying FOR RECYCLING RETURN TO DISTRIBUTOR SUPPLY #34155. They will then re-emerge in the retail chain as Pot Noodle containers.
We don’t want that to happen, it’s just an extrapolation based on previous scenarios where we’ve got excited and have then been let down.
That’s you, literally IN THE ACTION. It takes a special kind of screenshot to reduce us to tears.

The problem is that the Miis look shit.
Also the online experience will be affected by all the ‘hilarious’ wags who have miniature Hitlers, Murderers and Psychopaths as their Miis…

You’re just worried it’ll be quite good. Obviously it won’t be anywhere near as good as Mario Kart, so I’m not buying it.

Hang on, I thought we were at war with nintendo now? Or is it just ‘new’ Nintendo we’re at war with and classic snes/n64/cube stuff is exempt?
Also, Sega superstars tennis appears to be down to 4.99 in both game and gamestation this lunchtime. Not much longer ’til the Pot Noodle scenario I’d guess.

I wish I wasn’t going to buy this, but I am.
For the 360, mind.

I thought we were at war with everyone except Sega prior to 2002? It would be nice if we’re not at war with everyone, because then I could speak to my relatives again.

Time to create a Mii with a Sailor theme, methinks…..
>_>
January 8th, 2010 on 2:28 pm
I might buy it too.
For the 360.
If it’s cheap.

Pity the back of Mii’s heads aren’t particularly distinctive.
Mind you, neither are the faces really.

Good to see the Wii version looking uglier than that shitty Korean MMO Mario Kart rip-off. You can only work with what you’ve got, eh Sumo?
I’m still a bit depressed about Nozomi being dropped from the game.
:(
Couldn’t we at least have Joy? She rides a motorbike.

Actually looks pretty good on the Wii, for some reason the screens never really do it justice.
I’ve just bought some shares in the Pot Noodle company though – just in case :P
My version of the game has Nozomi and Joy in it too, but it’s my special version that only I am allowed to play. Which I got off my friends Uncle who works for Sega.

I’m at war with everyone except Sega prior to 1990. I hope nobody minds.

Hey a Mii has the most personality out of all the crappy characters in this crappy game
January 10th, 2010 on 3:18 pm
I’m at war with everyone except Terry Wogan. Can’t wait to tune in tomorrow morning. He’s the only reason I can face getting up in the morning. Without him I don’t know what I’d do.
