Don’t insult people by calling them “Wiitards”.

Sonic 4: Episode 2 should be available for the Wii U as it would any other system. For a few reasons:

1. The Wii does doesn’t have enough memory for such a High-Def game and the Wii U fixes that.

2. Tails and Metal Sonic will finally be playable again, and the Nintendo ans shouldn’t have to miss out on that (or shell out to another console for one game)

3. There’s a reason why people prefer console games over PC version. For starters, certain computers have different software requirements. Computers begin to lag and act slowly when left on long enough. And then there’s the situation with viruses where you have to restart your hard drive from scratch and you lose your save files. What fun that is.

I think there might be a Wii hack on the Pirate Bay. Just guessing, but with today’s computer nerds out there, someone is eventually (if they haven’t already) going to hack the game to work on their Wii, so maybe “wii” might be getting a chance to play the game on the Wii.

Relax, Dal. Nobody is FORCING Sega to do anything. It’s just that, after getting the first episode, which I really liked, it’s a huge bummer to wait so long and not get the second episode, even if the reasons for it make sense. Therefore, if Sega can release a retail collection and profit off of it, it would benifit not only fans like me who only own a Wii, but them as well.

As a side note, why is it that nobody can state their opinion on the Internet without resorting to name calling? Is everyone on the net five?

Stop crying, Wiitards. If the only modern console you own is a Wii, then get the Windows version. Sega shouldn’t be forced to release what is intended to be a downloadable game as a retail title just because Nintendo’s WiiWare is a huge joke and has moronic limitations such as the size limit of 40 MB for games.

I can definitely see why they wouldn’t release it for WiiWare (I mean, I personally never browse thru games on there because it’s painful), but if they release Sonic CD, Sonic 4 Ep. 1, 2 and Metal, I would so buy it. I already have CD and 4 ep 1, and am planning on getting ep2 on my xbox, but a $30-$40 Wii game with all those together, and possibly something like the Museum feature in Gems Collection, and I wouldnt mind forking out the cash. Actually a great idea.
And on another note, this is the first time I’ve commented on here, but I’ve been following the site closely for a while now and am very impressed with it. Keep up the great work!

WiiWare was always a joke. I have heard from people in the industry that the average games sell in the hundreds and most publishers never made enough sales for Nintendo to even pay them. The 3DS eShop has fixed basically every issue with that, so I guess better late than never, but Nintendo really messed up there bad and lost a lot of hopeful talent to mobile devices and Steam.

I have been saying since the start that SEGA should release a version of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 episodes on disc, Sonic CD would be perfect, but I think they should throw in some of the Virtual Console Sonic games too, maybe some other great SEGA games for crosspromot- Eh, nevermind, SEGA would not do that.

They could easily get away with selling a disc like that for 30-40 dollars, and I know it could be the big hit for the Wii during the holidays… It’s only competition is a collection of Kirby games.

A budget compilation disc would make the most sense for the Wii. Wiiware is impossible due to file size restrictions.
