Very good to know, thanks.
I caved in though and started playing it today. Got a bit of sunburn yesterday so decided to stay indoors today, so there it was. Awesome game thus far.

In EU it's a bit different, Tearaway is out now and SM3DW still hasn't been released, it's releasing on... PS4 launch day
Platinumed last night \o/ and I'm generally rubbish at platformers so I'd say you'll be fine. Though the tear without dying was a little irritating.
Start to finish (and I keep saying this) and it was simply a delightful experience. Probably my favorite game this year despite its short length.
I was thinking the very same thing this morning. Its been ages since I just "enjoyed" a game in that I was wearing a stupid grin 100% of the time.
Really awesome impressions to read.
I know what you mean, it sort of cemented my decision not to skip a Wii U this gen.

Just finished it, amazing.
Haven't played anything else like it, it's so good.
It just makes me happy

Maybe 2/3 of the way through so not too long.
Haha I was thinking the same thing! Tearaway is the Wii U killer app, lol!
I don't know if it's the hazy lack of sleep, but two hours in and I'm completely blown away.
Like holy goodness- the creativity, the platforming with the touchscreen, the colors... I feel like I'm on a trip or something!
It's utterly wonderful. But I've got to close my eyes! This game is unlike anything I've played. And it's remarkable- I hope it doesn't end too soon!

For any other Gamefly types, they're having a $5 discount sale for Thanksgiving.
If you're like me and have one of their $5 coupons as well, you can do like me and keep this puppy for $22.

So I have the preordered tearaway avatar in my download list on the vita, but is says "cannot download using a psvita system". And I see no way of finding these downloads on my PS4. Is there anyway to download this avatar?

No, I bought the same bundle. It came today, no memory card included and it says in tiny letters on the back of the box "To play games, a memory card for the PS Vita System is needed". Pretty shitty move if you ask me. Now I have a new system and game sitting in front of me and can't even play it...
Finished it a few minutes ago. I'm a little disappointed that it ended when it just became really, really great, with the higher difficulty and all. I could've played it for a few more hours at least. Which is also a testament to Mm's achievement in keeping the gameplay fresh throughout the whole game.
Only small complaint I have is the lack of any real boss fight.
When and where can I pre-order Tearaway 2, please?

Gonna dedicate all of tomorrow to this. It'll be my game to play as football is on in the background. Thanksgiving is so good.
I had this issue in the demo...if your back screen gets scratched while you are playing it can f' everything up...restarting the Vita though seems to rezero everything
Don't worry. A lot of reviews have been saying it's too short, but it's the perfect length imo. They're probably looking at it from the typical "bang for buck" standpoint, but when you're truly immersed in a world like this one, you forget all about that. I kept thinking I was nearly reaching the end, and not wanting it to be over, but by the time it was... it was perfect. I didn't need another second.
I'm sure it's been done before, but man, infringing copyright has never been so fun!
And a proud king's new crown:
Fantastic work on the Prince! And the dunce crown made me laugh. Bloody squirrels and their bad sportsmanship...
Finished this last night in bed, and I'm gonna tag my impressions about the ending, because sometimes when I read other impressions (even without going into content details) I sometimes feel a bit spoiled. Note that I do mention some content here, so don't read unless you've finished it.
I often read about "dem feels" and how people shed a tear/get bleary eyed/etc. at points in a game, and often it sounds to me like hyperbole. I've gone "Wow" and been speechless at times with games, and had some that tugged at the old heartstrings, but never had an actual game experience make me cry.
I saw similar responses about Tearaway, and thought "Well, that's it. I'll never be able to embrace this ending properly now because I've got these sobbing wankers in the back of my mind." At times like that, I scold myself for reading too much of an OT before finishing a game I'm truly enjoying.
But with Tearaway... My goodness. That last stretch towards the finale, all the way to the end, my heart was racing. It was like that bittersweet ache that happens when you know you're about to say goodbye to someone special. I was amazed at how surreal some of those final sections were, and how it blended the real world with the game world. That juxtaposition made the game world and what Iota had gone through that much more meaningful. By the time I was done reading "The Message", I had to blink the tears out of my eyes in order to see the credits!
I tend to look at games with a more analytical view and their emotional bits don't usually get to me. I'm not emotionally stunted or anything, and I don't think there's any baggage that Tearaway would have triggered, but something about it got through big time. I haven't felt anything remotely similar since finishing Grim Fandango. I knew it had to end, but just didn't want it to.

Bravo, MM.
Well, you get more papercraft plans and with all the confetti (not really all, since you have left overs) you can unlock more pre-set stuff to customize your messenger with.
If you don't use a guide, then taking the pictures of all the whited out stuff really helps you to appreciate the game's art design even more.
Otherwise, not really.
Sadly, you can't use premium avatars on PS Vita or PS4. Well, *use* isn't the right word... but you can't set them.
Unfortunately the way they're done is stupid, like the old online pass system. Where you'd have to download something for it. The newest versions would just attach to your ID.
I really hope they go through and change avatars to do that as well, but it'd be work to retroactively do such a thing, but they really need to.
You can do it from a PS3 with the avatars on them. Otherwise, I don't know how you do it. I'm not sure that you can on the websites either.
That's why
I really really really want to do some papercraft and bring iota into our world. He's just kind of gone... and that makes me sad, but I can bring him back. I think that was genius, it really pushes the papercraft thing they were aiming for with that message. And not in an annoying way, but in a "I want to do this and see my friend again".
I mean we've been through so much!

This game packed more creative energy in than every Nintendo game of the last 10 years.
This game proves the platformer genre can still be relevant in this day and age.
This game better at least win game soundtrack of the year and a few GOTY nominations.
You can only knock this game's length. Everything else is perfect.

Been playing this so slowly. Will get back to it after playing with flowers yesterday.
I have no clue either.

I picked this up for my daughter.
She said she was riding a pig. She says it is good.

Just played the demo and it seems to be the kind of game I've been looking for lately. Just something fun that doesn't have to be super intense. Maybe for Christmas :3

Been enjoying the game thus far. Is it possible to change the color of the pre-made eyes in the game? The ones you buy with the confetti?
I think that's the only way, at least I didn't find a way to switch between them. And I tried, since I wanted to check out Atoi in game.
Beat it yesterday evening. What a game.
The last time a video game ending made me feel so happy was Journey.

The credits are LOOONG though, wtf. I thought I heard someone say that a 15-people team at Mm made this, but they just kept scrolling and scrolling and listing random Sony people lol
which of these games have you played.. and completed..?
- Pikmin 3
- SM3DW
- ALBW
- Tearaway
Development isn't the only thing that goes into creating games. Marketing, legal, tons of crap. Plus there's different people in different regions doing the same job.
Strongly disagree. Yay opinions.

How do you make a Tearaway squirrel even more adorable? You put a dunce cap on its head, that's how.

His statement is stupid hyperbole. Tearaway is great and creative though.
Sure thing soldier...
Why this bickering in a time when we have A Link Between Worlds, Tearaway and Super Mario 3D World to enjoy in the same month?
Exactly.
I'm sure that those games are really creative gameplay-wise, but even if their gameplay is as creative as tearaway(or even more) just the fact that tearaway has never seen before original characters and a "real" paper world(not just a 3d world with some 2d elements like paper mario) alone makes tearaway superior creative-wise imo.
Do we really have to compare everything?
But the statement in the previous page is just trolling. The last ten years...right. SMG is 2007.
