Very solidly written review, Tom. I'm still convinced this game will be awesome, but it's nice to see someone point out that it does have some flaws. I can't believe they did that to Battle mode. :(
Hey, Nintendo, this is hint that you should TOTALLY make another one. I don't care if you, Retro, or Namco (they worked on Assault, in case this felt a little out of left field to anyone) does it; I just want another one for the Wii-U. Preferably one that has open-world elements to it.
@Poodger @Demonjoe93 Yeah, Iwota (or however you spell his name) had been saying a few months ago that they were going to limit third party characters, so I kinda just figured that was code for "Sonic and Snake are gone". I hope Snake comes back too, but unfortunately Nintendo does not have as good of a relationship with Hideo Kojima as they do Sega.
