Earlier this week, Sega messed up its announcement about the promising-looking Sonic Origins retro series by listing a bizarre slew of pre-order bonuses, DLC, and deluxe content.
“Character Animations in Main Menu” and “Camera Controls on Main Menu Island” are listed as part of the Premium Fun Pack DLC or the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game. The same goes for the “hard tasks” of the game.
Bonuses listed simply as “Letterbox Backgrounds” are highlighted in the Premium Fun Pack DLC or the separate Start Dash Pack DLC – free but only available when you pre-order.
Fan confusion and general confusion over the various Sonic Oranges options sparked criticism from fans – and overshadowed the rest of the announcement.
For reference, here’s another look at the graph:
Now, cheeky publisher Devolver Digital has stepped in on its own – as a “handy guide to pre-ordering Trek to Yomi,” its upcoming Black and White Samurai game.
Believe it or not, wherever you pre-order Trek to Yomi, you’ll get the full game — and Devolver even puts a nice metric in the game’s “final full credit”.
Our marketing department has put together a handy guide for booking Trek to Yomi.
