Hmm a friend of mine is hyped for this, gonna have to check it out when he gets it. I am still not sold on what I have seen.
Should've had Sonic and Klonoa (NxC had Klonoa), we got Mega Man X so that;s fine, but no mascots from the other corners? LAME!!!

aaand we're done here
You were beaten:
I'll buy it since it's a Monolithsoft game, but I'm not buying it at launch. I'll wait a few weeks for it to bomb and the price to drop. I really have no expectations for the game. The team that made it has never made a good game.
What does it say about this industry that these publishers were willing to put literally dozens their beloved, and often valuable IPs into the hands of a dev team which was practically destined to churn out a mediocre game?
Nothing? Its not like it hurts their IPs.
What other games has this Monolithsoft team made?
(Unfortunenly for me, so I'll be just sticking to the Mega Man/Sonic crossover comic for my Capcom X Sega fix,) Not Sumo Digital.The Sega portion of the roster is really strange. Who the hell picked these characters?
Thankfully not Sonic Team.

Still would've been better than Sonic Chronicles no contest, Klonoa got an RPG on the GBA called Klonoa Heroes (without the SUPER POWER OF TEAMWORK), don't know if that was any good as it was JP-only. Way to not make a 3DS compilation of all three GBA games Bandai Namco! :'( Could've tied it with the Wiimake.
(More seriously, comparing the rosters of both All-Stars Racing games to the Sega roster of this is pretty much an exercise into Sega according to the west vs. Sega according to the east.)
Am I in the minority for thinking this game looks like complete garbage?
Team1: Sonic and Tails
Team2: Super Sonic and Super Shadow
Team3: Knuckles and Sonic
Team4: Shadow and Rouge
Team5: Sonic and Chris from Sonic X
Yeah as much as I love the Sega roster as it is I would've appreciated Sonic and Klonoa from NB. Valkyria Chronicles, Virtua Fighter, Sakura Wars and Resonance of Fate, awesome. Don't care about Shining Force. That whole all-humanoid thing doesn't surface in any significant way throughout the game as far as I can tell; it just seems like a superficial consistency to justify the roster choices.
Which is, okay sure it's hard enough to pool a ton of characters and their VA's from two other companies, but I'm still interested in why Sonic isn't actually in. This same team pulled off Klonoa in this series previous entry too, so...
Did someone who hasn't played this game at the top of the page call it mediocre? I got it at Japanese release and it's awesome! <3
Monolith Soft did a fantastic job with this game, you're all going to love it hopefully.
I find it rather funny that all the NB cast in this game are from series that appeal to anime/otaku crowd (no offense intended btw).
It's really been crazy. I shudder to think what Q4 will bring us when the year so far has been so loaded.Basically, this and SMTIV separated by not even a month. As well as Animal Crossing and this. Without even counting Mario&Luigi or Rune Factory 4. 2013DS in US, indeed.
JRPG's that Sega published or Anime merchandise characters as your main representative is just as bad as having a bunch of Sonic characters in it.
AiAi, Phantasy Star chars and Kazuma are popular in Japan, why not put in those? The whole cast from Sega, just doesn't give you a Sega "vibe" at all. Also Platinum Games characters? They made it into that Samurai & Dragons game as well. I think it's just poor choices.
A cool thing though are that Arcade characters are presented, like from Dynamite Cop, which is AWESOME.
I think Sega refused to give them approval for Sonic, since they didn't want the character to be associated with a very obscure kind of game.
Also Sonic Team would have likely to put more Characters like Billy or Nights, and not just Sonic like you presume.
They also would have likely made a better game too.
BURFDAY SWAG!!!
NamcoBandai got me something for my Welcome to Existence Day!! HURRAH!!!
Dude, slow down. You're incorrectly characterizing what I think of the roster.

Why is Bravely Default in there?
dem rumours
they've come from multiple sources now though, so it's looking pretty good
I thought it was just siliconera. Which to me wouldn't lend any truth to the rumor.
We gon get dat. Dont worry about why its there. Just know its thereWhy is Bravely Default in there?

I guess your response says a lot about this industry as well
I would love to be that optimistic... but Type-0....
is on a dead platform which was dead in the west when it came out in japan and is beyond dead here now.
It wasn't as dead when it came out though. Of course it's dead now. Besides they could remaster the game for the PS3. However, my point is that a good SE game, that came out on a handheld, did not come over to the US. So I'm cautious about Bravely Default "confirmation" or not.
It was pretty fucking dead.
Well, still has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make with my post.
Did you want more Tekken and Soul Calibur characters? I personally would've liked Ulala to team up with Reiko Nagase..I find it rather funny that all the NB cast in this game are from series that appeal to anime/otaku crowd (no offense intended btw).
