Wii

Sonic CD was announced for practically every digital download platform earlier this week. As expected, WiiWare was left out of the mix.

SEGA simply said that there are restrictions that prevented the project from happening. I’m sure a big factor is the WiiWare file size limit. It’d probably be difficult to cram the game into 40 megabytes.

GamesRadar posted this earlier today:

“In an excuse that carries a whiff of that old ‘the SNES doesn’t have the technology to render blood’ chestnut, Sega has explained that the WiiWare platform lacks the chops necessary to replicate the CD-quality sound of the technologically-mindblowing-circa-1993 original – so, no Sonic CD for Wii owners.”

Following a few hours of downtime, Nintendo fans can once again access the 3DS eShop, Wii Shop Channel, and DSi Shop. There don’t appear to be any significant changes in any of the shops, so this was most likely routine maintenance. You have to wonder why it took so long for the services to return, though…


On this week’s episode: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Madden NFL 12, Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension and Mario Kart Wii.
