Reports out of Japan indicate that Sonic Team is keen on the whole worldwide launch thing. Apparently, Sonic Adventure 2 is now set for a worldwide simultaneous release, meaning gamers in America, Japan and Europe (but probably not Australia – as usual 🙁 ) will take to the speedy blue hedgehog’s latest exploits at around the same time.
So no waiting this time for an indefinite period in America – and gamers in Japan won’t have to shell out cash at some later date for an improved version of the game. In theory at least – Phantasy Star Online was originally scheduled for simultaneous worldwide release, but the US version is coming out one month later. Hey – one month is close enough! 🙂
