Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed For Nintendo 3DS Delayed To Next Year

sonic_&_all_stars_racing_transformed_3ds_box_artIt has been confirmed, via Nintendo’s website, that Nintendo 3DS’ version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will not release until next year. Sega’s new racing game for Nintendo’s latest handheld is now scheduled to launch in February 2013. The game is, however, already available to purchase on other platforms, including PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.

Thanks, Aeolus.

    1. Well they’ve patched that up now. Bit I guess some of you are wondering why this game is so cheap ? (applies to both 360 and wiiu version which i’ve played) , The game looks like shit lol.

      Looks like it’s been rendered at 540p on a dreamcast game engine with some added effects. Hence the low price tag. Gameplay is good though….

      I am absoloutly loving my wiiu. But some of these ports should NOT of passed through quality control. I just bought Assassins creed 3. And the Graphics look better on wiiu. And at the start of the game the framerate is smooth about 30fps+ .

      As soon as you land in Boston , the framerate drops to about 20fps and becomes horrible. It’s really pissing me off.

      I won’t be able to buy these third party games for the wiiu if they keep turning out like this.No way Jose.

      Nintendo Land , NSMBU , Blops 2 , TTT2 , ZombiU all have a very good and slick framerate.

      Nintendo are going to damage their reputation by putting games out that have a choppier framerate than the xbox 360. Sigh……..
      Like I said , Assassins creed actually has higher res textures and better lighting on wiiu. But when you’re in the city , everything goes tits up.

        1. You can tell the difference…something to take note of is even on the current gen consoles the game runs like shit there too. I have it on the 360 and it’s a horribly framed bug fest of a game.

          1. I’ve not played the 360 version of Assassins creed 3. But IMHO , for the wiiu version they should of removed some stuff from the gameworld. That’s the culprate. The game in less dense areas runs perfectly.

            Now , I KNOW it’s not the wiiu’s fault. Because i OWN games which run like a Knife through butter on wiiu. This is just a case of ”Slap some xbox 360 code onto wiiu and some high res textures here and there and hope for the best”.

            The most annoying thing is , Right at the start of the game , the game runs like CoD. Then goes into a chop fest. So it gets your hopes up and then drops them again.

            1. Weird. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed looks BEAUTIFUL on my TV—better than most of the other Wii U games I have. It’s definitely running at native 1080p as well because the textures are so crisp and clear. So far, I love Trine 2: Director’s Cut the most in terms of its graphics and 1080p resolution, same with Nintendo Land.

              It’s not Nintendo’s fault that third-party developers aren’t working out their ports to take advantage of the Wii U’s power. They’re just lazy and don’t wanna iron out the bugs or frame rate issues clearly present in their games.

              Sonic looks amazing, though. Can’t wait to see Sonic 2013 come out on the Wii U. X)

              1. I agree with you. But sonic looks fucked on my tv :S. It looks the same as the 360 version maybe a little better. It’s not exactly a showcase of the wiiu. And it looks blury on the gamepad compared to other games.

                I’m not questioning the graphical capability of NIntendo’s new machine. It’s a new architecture and it looks amazing. Nintendo Land even is insanely pretty.

                Games that do the wiiu justice , that I have seen – NSMBU , Nintendo Land , TTT2 , Blops 2 , Trine 2 , Nano assault Neo , ZombiU , AC3 (slightly choppy framerate) all look amazing on wiiu , and are an excellent starting off point for the console. And all have awesome framerate , except for AC3 which drops a little bit.

                If there’s one thing in gaming I can’t stand it’s bad framerates :/ cough batman cough.

                Nintendo will get past it though once developers get a grasp of the system.
                The wiiu will produce way better graphics than last generation…

      1. You have to understand, the framerate’s been sloppy on the 360 as well. I mentioned this a while back when I was spoiling–I mean, describing the features of the game and how the framerate was so stupid. After the Thanksgiving patch, though, it improved DRAMATICALLY. Like, A LOT. I’m not saying it’s ultra-smooth now, I’m saying the framerate is now comfortable to look at. Let’s hope the Wii U version gets the same patch.

        1. Been here ages. Aeolus isn’t a fan of Nintendo and you guys argue with him like childish losers. I’ve just seen him contribute many articles before.

          1. ”Aeolus isn’t a fan of Nintendo” But the Nintendo fans that argue with him on a Nintndo Fan site are childish losers ? That’s like saying the Murderer was the good guy…….

            1. Well yes they are. You complain that he never leaves, but he doesnt leave because you react so childishly, I’m not saying what he was doing is mature, but cmon, the crap I see from both sides, especially the Nintendo fanboys is EXTREMELY childish. Also, your Logic is appalling. Besides, one anti Nintendo thing said on this site, even if its a simple fact, you get accused of basically being patchers boyfriend …. SO YES, CHILDISH LOSERS.

              1. Sorry Jellybean , But if someone comes on a Nintendo site all the time and leaves Evocative comments such as ”Nintendo is shit , Why would anyone want this version” for example , they are totaly in the wrong.
                Even if someone replies saying ”Get the fuck off this website if you don’t like Nintendo”.

                By your ”appalling” logic , If i was stood in the street swearing repeatedly at someone and they told me to shut the fuck and go away because I look like a dick , the defender would be in the wrong?

                So no , Stop licking Aeolus’s clit.

                1. “Stop licking Aeolus’s Clit”

                  THAT’S THE IMMATURE SHIT IM REFERRING TOO. As far as I’m concerned if you don’t like what Aeolus says, DONT FUCKING REPLY. ITS NOT HARD.

              2. Well that is a rather broad statement,like I mean some people are just attacking Aeolus because they think he’ll leave.And those those insignificant,tiny remarks like “especially the Nintendo fanboys” will lead to comebacks and insults.

                1. Yeah buddy, I’m such a fanboy …. Because I respect all companies and play games on all kinds of platforms, I MUST BE A FANBOY! Wow …

          2. I find it funny that Aeolus is contributing the bad news articles, probably just likes to see us Nintendo fanboys suffer ;)

      1. Like how? Besides remote play and enhanced gamepad gimmicks it’s technically the same thing. I’ll just decide based on price thogh.

        1. Feeny baby… why the fuck are you on a Nintendo blog? U mad because the GamePad is a revolutionary controller that does everything the primitive PS3′s DualShock 3 controller doesn’t have– touchscreen and asymmetrical gameplay (One player on the GamePad while at least another gamer plays it on TV). Does $49.99 mean anything to you?

          1. Well according to Sony fans , Playstation allstars is ”OMG BEST GAME EVER SINCE SMASH BROS PFGDJNBDSDO”
            And it has a 76/100 on Metacritic.

            Then they say ”OMG , ZOMBIU GOT ONE BAD REVIEW FROM GAMESPOT S:KJS:LKJHS:OKD” And it has a 76/100 on Metacritic.

            1. Playstation All Stars is actually pretty good. Not Smash Bros good, but still pretty good, I’ll certainly buy it.

              ZombiU I can’t comment on since I haven’t played it yet.

              1. ZombiU is actually pretty good. :) . It’s amazing but flawed and unpolished. about an 8/10 .

                I’ve not played Playstation al stars yet , but don’t feel too compelled to buy it since i still to this very day, Play Brawl.

                1. Yeah, I didn’t bother with ZombiU.

                  There’s just something about the survival horror genre that I haven’t come to terms with since Resident Evil 4. If I can’t see myself playing a game five to ten years from now, then I tend not to buy it at all (same goes for downloadable games).

                  Up to this day, I still go back and play some good ol’ RE4. It’s my favorite Resident Evil game, Resident Evil 2 being my second favorite. :)

              2. I still prefer Smash Bros., but I have both and they are SO AMAZING!!! I’m a Sony and Nintendo fanboy at the same time, so STUFF LOGIC!

              1. Yes you have lol. How about the IGN comment Section ? as soon as anything PSAS popped up IGN about 10 million comments saying ”this genuinely looks more mature than smash bros , man!” .

                But they all HATE ZombiU. Even though in my opinion is probably the best true survival horror game ever made, with some polish issues…

                1. IGN has a bit of a problem, it generally attracts people who deem themselves “too good” for any of Nintendo’s games. Probably because there are barely any Nintendo articles on it…

                    1. I like it because on MyNintendoNews I get an Email for EVERY NEW COMMENT made on a post, stupid WordPress!

              2. Not Sony fan, Sony fanboy = kid = reviewer = all bad things about Nintendo in general or to be more precise, Nintendo excslusive games = all good things about Sony excslusive etc….

                BTW this ZombieU review is more accurate (survivor horrors and horrors are different things)

                http://www.4players.de/4players.php/dispbericht/Wii_U/Test/31387/78612/0/ZombiU.html

                http://www.4players.de/4players.php/procontra/Wii_U/Test/Fazit_Wertung/Wii_U/31387/78612/ZombiU.html

        1. Critics? I based my comment on facts kiddo. Wii U has better graphics, Miiverse as well the great online structure, multiple ways to play. Bugs don’t count because they get and already have been patched.

          But I know you’ll try to find a way to disagree because Nintendo is a terrible company right? ^_^

  1. Who cares about this anyway, I just want my Animal Crossing that I preordered a long time ago. Animal Crossing is the new SSBB.

        1. Nope. But if you have to resort to insulting someone by using a randomly generated avatar, you must be a sad individual.

              1. There’s no need to call him a twat, it’s likely he wasn’t insulting you and instead was simply pointing out that your avatar was suggestive.

              2. Yeah, I maybe a sad individual for noticing that, but I don’t just randomly insult people about random avatars . I just found it strange, Mr Jelly!

  2. I got Allstars Wii U and I have the patch, only 3 more characters left to get now. I can say that the graphics are AMAZING! BUT the framerate is SHIT. I would give the game a solid 9/10

    1. Graphics are amazing, but if you’re having problems with the frame rate, then maybe you need to put your TV into Game Mode? o.O

      My TV plays the game at a solid 30 fps. Not all games are 60 fps “omaigawd” smooth.

  3. Imnot happy my autistic son gonna be very sad at xmas as been waiting for this game and dont know how to explain to him, why ist not out for xmas, he loves sonic and has been waiting. what a shame, why have nintendo done this. Amanda.
