I was hoping for an Ecco cameo in it but haven't seen one so I want this to happen! Streets of Rage would be good too :DCapnCloudchaser wrote:Oh my WORD. An Ecco track would be AMAZING. Screw my Streets of Rage track idea, we need an Ecco one! NOW.

I asked them about this, but again, I was told it'll take 4 months overall on tracks (even old ones).Gavvie wrote:I think we'll see a few old tracks from All-Stars Racing return. After all, there is a specific "Downloaded Tracks" section when choosing a track in Time Trial/Single Race/Online, and I highly doubt SUMO put it there for the express purpose of OutRun Bay only.
So yeah - possibly not brand new courses, but maybe returning favourites from the first game. We'll see.
I wish they did something with them also, but I won't hold my breath.

So I woke up this morning and had an epiphany. This relates that that character poll we were discussing before.
To put it simply my epiphany went something like this: "Anyone who says Miku Hatsune can't be included as a DLC due to licensing issues (including myself) is a God-damn moron."
Now, there are of course other reasons why she can't be a DLC character (the obvious one being her niche popularity in the West) but license issues is not an excuse: Let's face it, SEGA have already licensed other non-SEGA characters and properties for this game; these include Wreck-It Ralph, Danica Patrick & the F-12 Tomcat, and it's not like SEGA have struggled to get the Miku license in the past: SEGA have released at least 6 Miku games and she's currently making cameos in other SEGA properties such as Yakuza 5.
Besides, it's not like the Miku license is a difficult thing for anyone to get in Japan. Walking around Akiba you see licensed Vocaloid goods all over the place: Model Cars with Miku decals, bottles of flavoured water, gashapon prizes, etc.

I suppose another interesting thought to have. I'd imagine the amount of votes Miku got in the petition would like be a pretty good indicator as to how many people would actually buy Miku DLC.
With the others I'd say they probably expected the games sales to cover for any licensing fees, for Miku it'd only be through DLC sales.
edit: media creates is up and I thought this game must have bombed hard in Japan, but it's not even released there and there's no release information for the previous game either. So... yea guess there'd be no reason for them to waste money on licensing Miku!
