I will likely get it on PS3.

Shame about the games pricing because it has put many people off.

Is this going to be the full game or in stupid episodes format?

I thought it was going to be episodes, but for $15 it better not be or I probably wont get it since I only own a Wii and the prices never drop.

Edit: I just found out that this game will feature 4 zones: Splash Hill, Lost Labyrinth, Casino Street and Mad Gear.
I still don't know if that will be worth $15

So each zone will have 5 stages RIGHT ???

Assuming the reviews aren't horrid - which they likely will be given the history of the franchise - I will probably wait for the inevitable disc-based collection of episodes.

Out of them all, I own a 360 and a Wii. I'll probably get it for the Wii, because the 360 d-pad sucks major ass, blah blah. I know that new 360 controller is coming, but why spend $60 on that when I already have a proper d-pad on my Wii Remote *now*?

But the 360 has achievements

I know..sweet sweet achievements..but awful awful d-pad. I can't do it!

This is only episode 1.

$15 per episode is gonna add up.

3 acts per zone (like Sonic 1), or 4 if you count the boss act. There's a "final zone" of sorts that's only accessible after you complete the initial 4 zones, though.

So if each act is approximately the same length as an act in Sonic 3&K, this episode will essentially be the same length as Sonic 3 (or S&K) by itself.

Honestly, the price point bums me out a bit.

I thought the same thing about the price, until you make the above point. For us who bought Sonic 3 or S&K at release - $15 isn't too bad of a price if you ignore the normal downfalls of digital releases (especially on the Wii.)

Yeah. This screams "download me", in a pirate way. If it somehow is good, not just good for a Sonic game these days but actually good and they release a disc-based complete-edition, count me in for that.
