Might want to make it clear this is for Europe only

Not sure under what grounds, but there's a US version:

Did ya take that from the Sega blog entry that said "Europe Only"?
http://blogs.sega.co...tion-announced/

I do indeed agree with you that there'll be a US version but it wouldn't surprise me to find that there was some retailer exclusivity in that deal.

Yes. Case in point- the ESRB logo in the lower left confirms North America. And then:

We'll have more information soon on how fans outside of Europe can get these exclusive items.

Seems like Gamestop's price is $59.99, guess I'll be waiting until it hits the bargain bin like I've done with every Platinum game released since their formation. 3 months after MadWorld came out I got it for $10 new, same with Bayonetta and Vanquish, I think it's fair to say that Platinum Games is a AAA bargain bin studio.

Last time I bought a game full price was King of Fighters XII for $59.99, fucking biggest mistake I ever made.

I'm pretty sure that price is a mistake. The price should be $29.99, seeing how it's that price in other stores like Amazon and that it costs €29,99 here.

I do hope that this game will get an online community seeing how multiplayer focused it is.

So yeah, the preorder bonus is GameStop exclusive in the US.

On the one hand, told you so. On the other hand, really, this shouldn't be a surprise.

[TimmiT]

HEY GUYS THIS GAME IS COMING OUT NEXT WEEK AND THE STREET DATE HAS ALREADY BEEN BROKEN FOR SOME.
GUYS?

Oh right this game is going to fail and it won't have an online community because the marketing for it is basicly non-existant lol

[Hero Of Fate]

Well, we Retro users can at least play with each other, right? RIGHT?

...Right?

[Dark Sonic]

Preordered the game in full price. Gotta play some bayonetta.

I forget which system I ordered it for...

I just pre-ordered it for €24 (minus shipping costs) for Xbox 360, I really hope the game will have an online community even though SEGA has made no effort to advertise the game. I don't think most fans of Madworld, Bayonetta or Vanquish even know that this game is coming out.

Same reason why SASRT isn't selling. Sega doesn't put money into advertising. Honestly cancel one game and put that money into advertising. Then they could make said canceled game later.

Or they wasted too much money on that generation of skate thing.

They already cancelled a game, then Nintendo picked it up and made it a Wii U exclusive, pissing off idiots on the internet.

touchè, it slightly pissed me off to, not because sega cancelled it but because it became Wii U exclusive, meaning I'll prob buy that damn thing someday >> I mean cancel another game... IDK Sega do some god damn testing and advertising.

[Mykonos]

It's out next week? I thought it was the 31st for some reason.

Well, at least it was easy to find in an incredibly tiny picture on Gamestop's front page. Guess I'll go for the 360 version.

[JaxTH]

I just spent $30 elsewhere YESTERDAY.

Btw, the soundtrack is pretty awesome:

[Hero Of Fate]

So yeah, if I'm remembering correctly SEGA's treatment of this game was pretty much the final straw for Platinum Games, right? Damn SEGA, why do you have to treat such an awesome little studio like crap?
