Streets of rage 4

Wrong. There is a standard physical version available to pre-order on LRG.

LRG are doing the physical version of this exclusively which means no guarantee that physical will get general release so you best order from LRG if you want a copy. Pre-orders close end of the week (3rd May), I believe.

Eeeh, it's £22 on the eShop so I'm gonna get it on that, I think.

I'd be well embarrassed if I slated the art in this game (o)(o)

Seriously though... In the words of the great bithead1000... "I'm in!".

Eurogamers is the best fan bater - Better than the original

Amusing that the criticisms about the game being too similar to a 25+ years game is exactly why it’s a positive in my book.

A stand alone soundtrack CD will be launching later in the year after vinyl release.

Your choice, obviously.

Digital for this is a no-no as far I'm concerned. I'm in two minds about purchasing this but if I do it'll be physical.

Really and truly, we shouldn't be at the point where physical versions of Switch games are an exception instead of a rule and yes, Nintendo are to blame for letting it get to that point.

Gonna call it now and guess that Data Discs will be doing the SoR4 vinyl, not least because they've done the vinyl for the original trilogy.

I'll be surprised if they're not.

EDIT: I called that completely wrong and didn't realise that the tweet came from Bravewave - the guys who did the excellent SFII Definitive Soundtrack remaster a few years ago.

Great to see these scores, especially from Martin Robinson at EG. Surprised they didn't mark it down for the liberal use of clipart to be honest.

VP magnanimous, there.

All we need now is for the obligatory ‘I had one go and it was crap’ post from TA and we have the full house.

You know my history with them, they are pure scum.

What you mean is:

”I have slagged off this game for months, and yet it’s reviewed well. Very well. So maybe I’m wrong. I will maybe try with an open mind, and not be such a judgemental fanny. I don’t like Eurogamer, but all those reviewers can’t be in the pocket of a small indie developer. That would be insane.”

My pleasure.

Still looks like an episode of Strong Bad.
