Yup nothing yet for switch. I guess I've waited this long, I can wait one more day.
Wish I didn't have work tomorrow
Just switch your account to NZ, or make a new account in NZ

It's not coming out till 8am on the windows store/xbone.
Haha it's tempting. What keeps me from doing it is I know I'll be playing this on the plane, trips, on my bed, etc. with the Switch version.
YEP! If you can't find it on your PS4, just use the playstation store website to download it. It should pop up in your my games section on your PS4 then.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Welp, with that it's bed time. Have fun guys! This will be stealing all my time tomorrow as soon as I'm done with work.

Real talk, my girlfriend asked me why this wasn't coming out on a Sega console.
She hasn't played video games since she was a kid.
It's less than three hours. You'll probably just end up regretting it in a few hours if you cave.

I'm sure someone has already mentioned it, but shoutouts to Sonic fans who understand why this thread title is perfect.
wtf

1. momentum puzzles. Enjoy them. Be disgusted with yourself for failing them. The levels are basically a series of set pieces that you can explore at your own pace, many of which have a "optimum speed" that you can learn as you go.
2. the flying squirrel is a fox named Tails, who is secretly the main and best character. Tails is how you cheese bosses with local co-op, and it's awesome (I know you watch EZA, so check out the Sonic 2 stream during Easy Livin' to see the co-op cheese in action)
2a. You can kind of control Tails a little bit with player 1, but the real power is in local co-op. He's basically just an AI companion with 1 player. (when he gives you an airlift you gain control though)
3. Play at your own pace. People want to blast ahead, because max speed feels good. But there's no "right way" to do it. (beyond making it through the set pieces described in #1)
Noteworthy goals:
* 50 rings to get to special stages (hold onto 50 rings and hit a star post or whatever they are in this game)
* 100 rings to get an extra life

The messed up part: I recall very fondly of the 3DS launches being available at 9PST. This Switch midnight PST must be new for the console.
EDIT: According to a poster above me, its only for first parties. The game I was remembering oh so fondly was Pokemon XY.

It's up just unscrew the coax and blow on it then replug

PST Switch owner. Hype levels are so high right now that starting this at midnight will equal bloodshot crazy eyes and going to bed at 2:30 no 3 or later and being a hot mess at work tomorrow. Oh well!
Nintendo US maybe. I had sonic mania downloaded at 1205 am this morning in Australia ✌️😎👈You guys never learn.
Nintendo has never put out a third-party developed game at midnight in North America. They really need to work on this.

No reason to stay awake. I was a fool for thinking this game would be unlocked at midnight.
ok. awesome. thank you so much. i've never played a sonic game before. and theres no instructions. like i didnt know about the dash jump thing. so thank you a lot. appreciate it.
so i have to collect the 7 emeralds to win?
(sorry for the goof fellas. i never had a sega and was a nintendo fanboy so never knew anything beyond sonic and coins. and the game doesnt spell anything out for you beyond "every button jumps". like even from the beginning i had a choice of playing as sonic, sonic AND the squirrel, or sonic's gf(?). like who the hell are these two? do they play different?)
btw i'm playing this on switch. looks and sounds great. i just wish i knew what the hell was going on.
...sonic forces...!
