So given that the average number of titles in these episodic games is 5, does this mean we'll be paying more than full retail price for this one? Interesting...

Eesh, $15 for just one episode? That seems high. How many will there be? This is probably going to be a full-priced game or higher once every episode is out.

You are just going by Telltale Games, most are not that long.

Mop, I haven't seen Sega give any hint at how many games will make up STH4.

I'm sure it will depend on how successful the first episode is.

$15? I'm just going to wait for the reviews. Even then I would rather spend part of my limited budget on Kirby's Epic Yarn.

I seem to recall something about 3 episodes being planned, but 1000/1500 Reggies is still too rich for my blood (especially when the better retro revival platformer hits a week later in Epic Yarn).

Nintendo Power says that this game is 1000 wii points.

I have no problem with standalone $15 downloads, but it seems a little high considering the game's episodic format. Of course, we don't yet know how long each episode will be. Sonic 4 didn't really impress back at E3, but then they delayed it to supposedly shore up the game's quality, so we'll see.

Nintendo Power reported that each episode is three levels each with a bonus level of some sorts that is unlocked after completing the game.

Will this game be playable with the Gamecube controller? If so, I might use my controller adapter to play this game with the Genesis controller for a more authentic feel.

And Sega says 1500 points. Who do you think is right? A third party game magazine, or the company publishing the game? Maybe originally it was gonna be 1000 (although that is not confirmed), it is gonna be 1500.
