Nearly there!
The game will be available for download on the iTunes App Store starting Oct. 7, the Wii Shop Channel on Oct. 11 (15th Oct in EMEA territories), the PlayStation Network on Oct. 12 in America (Oct 13th in EMEA territories), and Xbox Live Arcade on Oct. 13 across all territories.
Sonic 4 will be priced at 1500 Wii Points on WiiWare, 1200 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live Arcade, and $14.99 / ?9.99 / ?12.99 / AU$19.95 on the PlayStation Network.
Looking good. Think I'll get it for the 360 and iOS. The recent videos of the Casino themed level looked great.Comment

As more has been revealed of this it's really starting to look like Sonic Colors is the more appealing title. I was quite hyped at first but now we have a green hill zone, a casino zone and a ruins zone. They couldn't have been less adventurous. I'm way too tired of the series cribbing off Sonic 2.Comment

looking foward to it but those are greedy pricesComment

Why do so many people arrive at this conclusion for download only titles?Originally posted by yesteryeargames View PostComment

As it's only episode 1 of who knows how many. It's a part of a full game isn't it? 1200 points is a lot for that.Comment

Because its Episode 1! Its episodic....Originally posted by CMcK View Post
1200 points is way too much for a game thats been split up into increments, it really depends if the game has enough content to warrent the price. But its looking highly unlikely. Especially when titles such as DR: Case 0 cost 400pts.Comment

I forgot this was episodic. So, who's expecting them to basically make Sonic fans pay full retail price for this?

Surely Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Is current title holder for most expensive Episodic game? Weighing In at 3700 Wii Points total.
This Is the first Sonic I've touched since Heroes, trying to stay as optimistic as possible, but It's just not working

It depends how big this game is. Even though it's episodic, I'd hope it would at least have the same amount of zones as the average 16-bit Sonic title. That would be worth £9.99/1200msp/etc. in my book. If it's episodic in the sense of containing 1/3 of a game, then that's pretty cheeky.Comment

This is a lot like SFIV. A sequel long overdue and doesn't feel like something completely new. Where SFIV simply had the SF2 cast, Sonic 4 seems to have the Sonic 1 stages. I think its lazy.
And Episodic, its lame. Like: 'Yeah fans, here we have the sequel you've all been waiting for... Sonic 4!!!
Episode 1...'
But to be fair Episode 1 has about 15 levels and with that sounds like its about as long as classic Sonic. Also, lets not forget that Sonic 3 was episodic and did cost about 60 bucks each.Comment

Episode one contains four zones of three acts each. Rumoured to be 3 or 4 episodes in total, although coding hasn't started on episode two. I'd agree that Colours is a much more appealing prospect.Originally posted by Shakey_Jake33 View PostComment

^That would actually make it larger than Sonic 3 (without Sonic & Knuckles) if you add up the individual acts. I'm more concerned about how it plays - it could contain 100 zones, but if it's more like the Advance/Rush games than the 16-bit games in terms of gameplay and structure, then I'd find it hard to feel too excited.Comment

Problem I had with Rush is that its design was so brainless. Sonic 2's (and the other classics too, but 2's design slightly edges them out I think) level design and the need to build up momentum is really brilliant. Rush was pretty much a straightforward affair without much imagination. A bit better than Sonic Advance, but still mediocre compared to the classics.
Sonic 1 Master System was really brill too by the way.Comment
