Seems pretty good for a Switch pre-order.
Release date 7-Nov
Appears to be the bonus version including some DLC too afaik
Picture shows Bonus edition (with DLC) but Q&A down the page says standard edition
Edit: as pointed out by KIngrat94 it seems like there is ONLY the 'bonus edition' at launch, can't find any evidence of a non-bonus-edition and the description does list some of the content from the DLC too which seems promising

Argos have now changed their minds and confirmed this is bonus edition -joanddan7

    Just had chat with Ann at Argos, she said its for the DLC, the physical copy of the game is being sent today, (fingers cross) hopefully we should receive the physical copy soon.

    Cool. Mods can delete then if they want but I'm pretty sure deals can be re-posted after a few weeks and that was almost 2 months ago.

    MK8D - £49.99
    LoZ:BotW - £59.99
    Splatoon 2 - £49.99
    Mario + Rabbids - £49.99
    Rayman Legends - £29.99
    FIFA 18 - £54.99
    1-2 Switch - £39.99
    Super Bomberman R - £39.99
    Disgaea 5 - £49.99
    Lego City - £49.99
    FE: Warriors - £49.99
    ARMS - £49.99
    Pokken - £49.99

    Two points from the above;

    1) Most games are £49.99 NOT £59.99. Which even though is still expensive, is on par with the likes of the PS and Xbox store.

    2) Sonic Forces is a budget release with its closest priced competitor being Rayman Legends which is priced at £29.99 on the eshop. £39.99 is the logical price for this game, £34.99 if they are being generous and £29.99 if we are very lucky.

    Stop being an arse and holding on to some sort of Nintendo bias when the facts do no support your claims.

    Ok, for anyone needs to know whats happening, they are in short supply of physical games and the code you have is a demo to try out the game if you're one of the unlucky ones who don't get yours today.

    They are giving codes to everyone though, so if you got one dont think you're automatically not getting your game.

    Yep, received mine yesterday afternoon, it was sent via normal RM post, it is definitely the bonus version, included 4 bonus cards and 5 Sega/Atlus DLC to customise your character. Different topic don't know why Argos sent the DLC for Shadow as this is free on the store? Does anyone know why this was sent?

    Decent price, but will it be another Sonic flop...?


    I've fixed that statement for you. My guess is almost definitely, every 3d sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2 on the Dreamcast have been rubbish. I liked that due to the Chao garden and the little tamagotchi style side game for Chao races.

    I'm not sure there even is a non-bonus-edition of this game available yet. Seems to be a launch edition, every website is showing the bonus edition cover across all versions of the game and the Shadow DLC (not 100% on the costume) is free day one. The description lists the contents of the bonus edition too, so in my mind at least it's pretty safe to say this WILL include the bonus stuff.

Of course some might get along, but Sonic really hasn't translated to 3D well. Track record gives us all good reason to believe it will be history repeating. Previews suggest that's the case too. Sorry to be a downer.



    I disagree I enjoyed Sonic Unleashed, Colours, Generations even Lost World to an extent. But this has a mix of 2D and 3D al a Generations.

    I watched a preview on YouTube by Gnoggin and he said he really enjoyed it, and some will disagree. But you cant said it's bad because of previews, as it's other people's opinions, not your own. (edited)

    I actually really like some of the 3D sonic games. The adventure games were great for the time, but have aged really badly in comparison to Mario 64.

    Generations, Colours and Unleashed (at least the daytime levels) are all good IMO, and forces looks to be a continuation of that formula... However, the level design in forces looks uninspired, the graphics look no better than the previous gen (unleashed still looks beautiful almost 10 years on), and the custom character looks utterly pointless. I doubt it will be just plain bad like Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom, but I'm not excited for it after seeing the previews.

    Me, too just received an emailed download code from Argos. Is the DLC just for the bonus material or is it the actual game? I ordered this thinking i'd have something to physically give my nephew on Christmas day. Good price but wouldnt have gone for it if i knew it was DLC only. (edited)

    Again though you haven't actually played these levels, there are multiple paths for example and you haven't seen all the levels available. I don't think you can judge it based of previews, because as I said, it is someone else's opinion and not your own.

    Nonsense. You not liking them isn't the same as them being rubbish. Generations is one of the best platformers ever made.

    I'll come back to this thread after release - no point winding people up (not that I want to - just that the credible sources for previews I've read aren't particularly praise-worthy...). All I can say is this for now: Shadow the Hedgehog DLC was confirmed - make of that what you will! (edited)

    I played the preview build at EGX, and have seen all official trailers and gameplay videos. I can assure you that my opinion is my own, and not somebody else's.

    That doesn't mean the full game won't be good though, and I hope it is for the sake of the franchise. I'm just not overly enthusiastic about what I've seen so far.

    It was the opposite for me when 06 was leading up to its release. I couldn't wait for it to be released, but then it was released and it was a massive disappointment. (edited)
