I'm extremely curious about the Japanese version because in all honesty, I really just want to know how Beat and Gum sound in that version, like if they have new voices or they reused the voices from the Japanese version(or even the English version of Transformed), among other characters(apparently Ulala has a new VA for this version and I definitely wanna hear that).
The problem is, all my attempts to find footage of it has led me to trailers for it. I've found lots of footage from Japanese players of the English version, but absolutely none besides trailers for the Japanese version. I've tried YouTube and Niconico, I've searched using Japanese and English, and I've turned up nothing. Has anyone been able to find footage of it? And if not, is there anyone who can provide footage?

Only gameplay I know of is the Japanese trailers

Seriously, the "Jap" version?

Spotted that too, made the edit. In the future, let's stick to Japanese or JP to avoid the whole slur thing.

Are you serious? Are we really getting that touchy now? It's not like he called them nips...
-
It's not being touchy, it's being respectful. DO you want to make Yu Suzuki cry?? YOU MONSTER!
No but seriously, I just changed "Jap" to "Japanese".
-
It has come to my attention that the game didn't do very well in japan. I find that so weird, like does the SEGA allstar concept dont have any appeal that all? I would t hink the trailer looks really appealing..
They should've perhaps launched with a big japanese character like hatsune miku

You know, that'd look more appealing in JP, I mean, Japan.
They had 18 months to 'adapt' the game to the eastern market...

Really sorry about the accidental slurs. I wasn't actually aware of it being a slur, and I promise not to repeat that mistake. For some reason, JP escaped my mind when making this post, so I apologize.
Anyway, I'm really disappointed it didn't do so hot there. I couldn't really guess what the reason is. Maybe because it came out so close to Mario Kart 8, and gamers there aren't willing to take a chance on a mostly unknown series, even with Sega characters?
-
The audience probably imported it. Considering the previous crossovers didn't make it over. Most of the Amazon reviews for the game date well before the actual localized release.

It's the same thing. I thought I was at my grandparents' house for a minute, but at least they fought in WWII.

Anyone who thinks that the game sold poorly due to close proximity of Mario Kart overlooks the fact that a) It's also available on the Playstation 3 and b) Sonic is a poor selling franchise in Japan. It's not really shocking as I'd imagine most people associate the title with Sonic which has been selling poorly in Japan for almost a decade now.
The last major Sonic game (Lost World) didn't even manage to sell over 20,000 units last time I checked and Sonic Generations sold just under 30,000 units.
-
Maybe they should have removed the 'Sonic' from the title of the game...

Deserves to do better than mario kart since it's better. I mean honestly investing in a kazuma kiryu or hatsune miku could have really raised a lot of interest to establishing the series. Game deserves all recognition and Sumo has done a fine job so far. The whole danica pattrick thing was stupid though looking back... man that was really weird

I doubt having Kiryu or Miku would have done much for the game. We got a Kazuma Kiryu (Unlike with several other) cameo in Binary Domain and that game failed to see more than 130,000 units in Japan whilst Miku appeared in 7th Dragon and the increase in sales was negligible. I doubt the demograph that either series appeals to would be interested in a kart racing game.

Are Wreck-it-Ralph and Danica Patrick in this version ?
What about those exclusives for PC (Ryo; Total War warrior) ?
-
Yes to Danica and Ralph, no to the others.

I've honestly never considered 'Japs' to be an offensive term. Informal, but never thought of it as insulting in any way.
I'm really surprised that you took it that way and that Barry felt the need to change the thread title.
In any event, I still haven't played this game on general principal, even though everyone is cumming buckets over it here and elsewhere.

It's a mechanically well designed game. The fanservice ends up being the least important aspect onve you discover the depth. After spending a lot of time competitively with the game there are a couple of things I noticed however which are very exploitable, which is the boosting stat. There's a couple of characters with max boost stat, and since you are boosting most of the time through drifts etc, the best players usually have these characters picked. But there's only a couple and the game doesnt allow the same character picks by multiple people so it tends to become unfair when in a lobby full of pros.
I would say the game leans a bit too much towards skill > luck through items. I like that a lot but it sucks for example when I like to play with friends splitscreen online. They usually end up last. I'm not saying there should be a blue shell, but i'd like to see more of a balance next time...

Game looks like an enhanced, Diddy Kong racing with a bunch of characters nobody is going to know about asides Wreck-it-Ralph. I wish SEGA would do some justice and make Sonic and gang use their feet, just not Amy. The logic that Amy can't run fast, is because she does not have Sonic speed. If she did, then she would probably catch him by now

Please can we just ban him already? Please? Barry? *falls to knees and begs*

Remember how long it took to ban fluffy?
Yeah. Regal isn't technically breaking any rules so he'll be here forever, he's just being incoherent and inane most of the time.

Not to get off topic, but since a lot of people have been mentioning Regalsin, I thought I'd say something.
As MadeMan mentioned, Regalsin isn't technically breaking any rules. However, I do think that making sense and making cohesive comments is something that needs to be enforced even if it is not mentioned in our rules (however it soon will be, I'm working with Will and George on this). I've just sent Regalsin a message stating that he needs to think before he posts - is the comment coherent to other members? Does it add to the conversation in anyway?

You could read my god forsaken posts perfectly fine. If you have a problem, then send me a message, don't be like "KiLL IT KILL IT KILL IT". Not everybody is an English major. Yes, ( or should it be Yeeeeessssss...... ) I know how colleges can be strict with writing, but it is the internet for crying out loud. We went over this in the past, I am talking the way past. Maybe that is why politicians, always makes short statements not to confuse people so much.
Maybe your problem is that you are not reading my posts out loud. Your just reading it for grammatical errors, instead of trying to get the point entirely. Maybe you are just old.
Drop it. Any more and I'm issuing a warning.

Exactly. The word JAP in the game industry has always meant Japanese gaming and never referred to a slur at all. It was used to describe many titles of Japanese origin back in the good old days of grey import trading like USA or UK was referred to their game titles and territories.
