Well I'm avoiding YouTube for the weekend then I guess.
I'm looking forward to see if we get a thread that vaguely hints about content from the game labelled as a "what's your favourite X from gaming?", like how all the "What's your favourite
?" threads the popped up when that section of Uncharted 4 leaked. -_-

I personally don't mind reading deets, it's just physically watching footage/streams I'm avoiding.
If it helps satiate the hype a little, theres nothing I haven't liked, regarding level choices/motifs. And there's some wonderful little surprises in there. S'all good!

It's like, I don't mind knowing the levels (although I'd obviously like some surprises) because I remember a lot of the old games had level lists and screenshots in the manuals, but I don't want to know too much.
For those who preordered the Collectors Edition on Amazon and have the release date for the 17th. I've chatted with the Customer Service and they said that the orders should be arriving on release day. If you ask them about it then they will change your shipping speed from two days to one.
I'm hearing that 26 of the LEs (I guess 13 for each system) will be signed.
Let's hope that some of us on here are part of the lucky ones.

That's what my colleague who already received was told. And since I haven't received my copy yet while everyone else has, I have no reason to doubt.
Mine says it will ship on the 15th, and be here on release day, the 17th.

Mine does too. Order ships on Release Day and arrives on the 16th. The only reason that its arriving on the 16th instead of the 17th is because I talked to a rep and he says that the game is slated to ship on the 15th and arrive on the 17th but he changed it to One-day Shipping. So it's coming on the 16th.
Oh I see. The launch day is the 15th. I misread the email. It was an updated arrival email, not a day of release update. Gotcha. Thanks. I'll put in a call.

Good luck. It's really weird that Amazon isn't delivering this on launch day for my order. I preordered it the moment it went up. Oh well. I guess one extra day of waiting won't kill me.
Yeah, I ordered Apr 24. Getting it on the 16th or 17th isn't that big a deal for me. I have such a backlog on the system as it is lol.
My pre-order (from Amazon.ca) shipped earlier today, with an estimated delivery time of Monday. Granted, it's being delivered by UPS, and they have a tendency to miss deliveries in my area, so I probably won't get it until Tuesday. :/
I was surprised to see the CE be as heavy as it apparently is, though. UPS has the weight listed as just under 9lbs. The Sonic statue must be heavy.

And?
If its anything as good as Sonic 1-3&K (plus CD) which we all know it is, we'll replay the shit out of Mania. In terms of Sonic games I'll happily take quality content over quantity.

Sounds like a classic Sonic game?
Filler is not something these games need... replay value isn't measured in completion percentage.

For anyone who's checking the leak thread, how are the impressions from the people who got to play the game early? How does it stack up to the classics?
Sonic game confirmed

When I said the leak thread be poppin I wasn't kidding. The game surprised ALL of us in ways we didn't expect, the gameplay and music of the new levels was some fine stuff. If you liked the first 3 Sonic games you'd be a fool to miss this.

What were you expecting? All Sonic games are short, so it's either this or something padded out with mini games (Generations), mediocre secondary gameplay styles (Unleashed) or forcing you to play the same level multiple times (The Adventure games).
Don't mean to pile on but all I can think is "wow, it took two entire days for 100%?"

Did someone get all 7 emeralds and whatever unlocks with blue sphere for all 3 characters? As far as I had seem someone had only done the former with Sonic.

This game is taking too long to come out.
Just pretend it's eggman causing the game to come out late!

Uhhh.... What did you expect? Have you played any games from that period? Games back then weren't as long. Back then we paid full price for this kind of experience.
Sounds like a classic sonic game to me.
Those games are highly replayable tho.
Back in the day they were full price even too
and no one complained.The shade of it all.

Nintendo games do. Third party games tend not to though. Here's hoping.Do big eshop games release at midnight?
If not i hope early in the day (EU btw).
Got the money needed in the eshop wallet
I'd rather pretend it's Robotnik.

I just hope the reviews don't penalize the game for being exactly like the old games. They don't need to innovate.
