Just going to throw this question out there one more time... can anyone tell me if you can force NTSC in this version or do you have to use component cables with an hdtv

Yes, Ive got nearly 30 pal games that I play with Force NTSC and via composite cables to my crappy old non-hd tv. The only game I havent been able to work is Mad Dog Mcree (get a blue screen with an "Invalid TV Format" error"). There is no problems at all, no stretching, no color issues, nothing.

Doez it workz on PAL lol!?

No

Just kidding!

Been looking forward to this since it was announced (and everyone thought it was going to be a kiddy game). everything looked better and better with each trailer

I think I'll achieve this one way or the other... probably test it before I buy it

Whoa, was it supposed to be out this early in Europe or was it just a very early scene release?

Its 4 days ahead of the release date, early for a Wii game, but nothing mindblowingly amazing.

Ah, I thought it was this was to be released somewhere later this month. Got mixed up with another title. Still, 4 days ahead is still quite early.

 

[P.S]

Graphics are great for a wii game, and its fun.
It's definitely a must have.

Hmm it's not a bad Sonic game which is a relief. It's basically daytime unleashed, which is a good thing, but I still don't like how most of the level is almost automated. And the controls don't seem as tight as Unleashed (but I never played the Wii version of that). Good game so far though. Enjoyable, and the custscenes are quite fun. It's nice to see them take a light hearted attempt rather than a serious one for once.

I still MUCH MUCH prefer Sonic 4 though.

Basically, Sonic 4 is just a remake of Sonic 1 & 2 with shitty physics.

Now here we go!

I really tried to like Sonic 4. I was going to be perfectly content with offering next to nothing original outside of its name. But those controls and physics were just far too broken. And I just don't mean "different". I mean "so completely arbitrary and incompetent that most of the game's difficulty stemmed from wrestling with them".

ONTOPIC: Boy oh boy, am I hopeful for this game. In recent days I've scoured the internet in search of more and more gameplay footage to drool over until this games' release. It looks to be pure, unadulterated Sonic goodness, the way it was supposed to be since Sonic Adventure.

You'll need an HDTV and Wii Component Cables then it will be fine. Not sure if the NTSC & PAL saves are compatible.
If you have a standard tube TV and regular A/V cables, then it will be black & white if you're in a NTSC region.

In your opinion and that's fine. But I really enjoyed Sonic 4. Yes the physics could have been better. I sometimes don't understand how SEGA manages to cock things up... Was it that hard to use the same physics as Sonic 1 through 3? But having said that, the levels in Sonic 4 weren't designed to be played with the old school physics. The levels are designed around the new "improved" physics and I thought the game was very good on its own merit. Nowhere near as good as the Godliness of Sonic 3 but at least better than Sonic Rush.

No... Really... Sonic Rush´s MUCH BETTER.. Has better scenarios, faster physics, and so..

Sonic 4´s retarded... It COULD´ve been better than Sonic Rush..

There are such things as opinions. Now get back on topic thanks.

Really? Most games works if you force in NTSC, only one recently that I remember not working was Samurai Warriors 3. Most games usually have 50hz/60hz in it hence why people asking if you can force NTSC.


Since no one seems to want to answer this simple question, I'll have to waste 3.7GB of my monthly bandwidth to test it myself.


Added:

Well, according to the place I'm getting it from
"Works fine on my NTSC-U Wii off HD using Wii Flow."

 

[RupeeClock]

Just got around to emulating Sonic Colours, sadly HUD graphics don't display for some reason, but you can still enjoy the first two levels quite nicely.
I look forward to playing this on my Wii.

Its Not A Bad Game

Love it so far

 

[Maplemage]

Im gonna buy this game =D
(not download >.>)

 

[Bladexdsl]

this game is fucking epic i also might BUY it when it's released here. sega have finally done it i dub thee the perfect sonic 3d game!!

 

[DjFIL]

I'm just done World 1 and it's boss battle and starting World 2... and by golly I think they finally got it... i think they've finally made a good 3D Sonic! They've added some new elements (laser, drill, etc)... but this time they don't actually take away from the classic Sonic formula of fun.
