Will This Be Official Company Line?
With so many “over” this, and “in between” that, it appears either very likely that we now have a clear idea of what to expect, on the most basic level, from Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.
Descriptions have popped up on several retailers, including Wal-Mart and Gamestop. They are alike, so this may be the bottom line. In short, the descriptions cite 20 characters–just 20–and 24 courses. The descriptions make no mention of DLC. These descriptions are holding across all platforms, including the Nintendo DS edition.
Also of note are some of the release dates. American retailers have stayed fairly consistent throughout the ASR developments in offering a late February release timetable, specifically February 23rd, which is a Tuesday. UK retailers appear to be are lining up more in the March arena.
For the moment, that’s what we know. It’s tiny, but important, and whether this will quell the speculation and confusion out there is anybody’s guess. We’ll continue to update you on ASR as warranted.













20 characters could just be the INITIAL roster, the one you have when you just start the game for the first time and haven’t unlocked anything.
20 characters is a lot. 24 tracks are also alot. Even more than Mario Kart Wii
Uh, no. Mario Kart Wii has 32 tracks in total.
PsychoJosh : Yep almost every Mario Kart has 32 tracks but 24 is good I just wonder how the Grand Prix will be like
What is the motivation of this game other than to shallowly imitate Nintendo’s branding strategy? Sega racing??? What??? Is Alex Kidd going to have his poorly designed Sega Tennis model? Will there be Nights or Altered Beast?
Mario Kart Wii has 32 tracks but only 16 is new.
There is alot more tracks on Mario kart Wii!
32!!! >:-( dissapointing.
mario could have more tracks but they are porely design compare to Sonic&Sega ones, and I’m shure they more shorter too… oh well…
I would be very happy if Sega/Sumo/SonicTeam could pute in the game (as gameplay character) Sonia (from Sonic Underground with her pink bike
), Manic (from Sonic underground too, with his flying board or something
), Metal Sonic, or some character from Satam series
THAT WOULD BE AWSOME!
Yhe you rule SEGA ;D
Sonia (something like this, SEGA/Sumo should make
):

I believe they may be talking stages and characters from the get-go, not including unlockables. Either way, Sega I’ll kill you if Ristar isn’t in. >:/
That stinks!! Only 20 characters
Why not 25? I expected about 24 courses. But just 20 characters!!! They better be talkin about defaults or startouts.
I thought this game would have over 20 characters. But I guess that would be just 20 of them. Having 24 courses sounds like a good idea.
@ Shego13: I am not trying to be rude. Are you really okay with just 20 characters? They could at least pull of 25. They better mean startouts!
@ Sonic Unleashed (SU): Werehog is not a bad idea. I like the way you think!
daylengamer@: thanks man, just imagine him in his Werecar xD awsome
But I truly whis Metal Sonic in it
Finally, someone who is nice!
daylengamer17@: lol thank you, but there are a lot of people here that are pretty cool too, lol oh well…
Cant’ wait to play S&SASR
What version would you consider getting?
Xbox360º one and you?
PS3. But I don’t have one. So i have to get the Wii version.
@daylengamer17: Hmm… to tell you the truth, I was hoping that it will have over 2o characters. I just trying to help you guys out. I don’t mind have more than 20 characters. When I look into the news, I was starting to think that they just put 20 characters. But if that was the startout, then I’ll be more than happy to unlock the few of them. I hope that NiGHTS can make it in.
I hope Gulius makes it. And Vyse. And BD Joe. And Werehog. And Jet
What do those stores know about anyway!
