Second, even if the game is good, it's still got nothing over Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, so I can just keep playing that instead of spending sixty bucks on this.

And it's not just one reason, it's many. Eggman Nega, Iggy, Roy, and Ludwig are absent, and Espio and Wave are each restricted to one event, Espio's being one I suck at. I decided I would get the game when I had a dream about using Blaze and Wave together, or Blaze and Espio, can't remember but it got me thinking of playing as Espio or Wave the same way I played as Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Metal Sonic, Luigi, and Daisy in London 2012, and pairing Tails, Blaze, Wave, and Espio together. Instead it's clear I can't do this even if there are dream events

So really, at best it's equal to London 2012 and therefore only for those who don't have a Wii. They had so much potential and threw it away, just like Paper Mario Color Splash is like Sticker Star instead of the first two of the third

First - since it's obvious you've never tried to do this (since you clearly missed the Rugby Sevens thing even though it's clear), why don't you go actually WATCH the trailers? You'll quite clearly see that the Dual Events are, essentially, Dream Events. They function in the exact same way. They're Dream Events in all but name.

Second - That's no excuse to act like it's the worst game of 2016, so don't do that.

Third - all those reasons clearly boil down to you hating a game (you have never played) and claiming it's the worst game ever simply because Nintendo/Sega did not make the game specifically for you. How many people REALLY care for the characters you mentioned? More to the point, I like Cream, but you don't hear ME throwing a hissy-fit. I like Rosalina, but you don't hear ME throwing a hissy-fit.

Again, I can't tell if you're being serious about this or not, but if you are, I can't help you, and if you aren't, you're being cliched. As for me, I'm actually going to do the sensible thing, and I'm going to wait for reviews, then I can actually judge the game. Then, if the game seems positive, or otherwise looks fun, THEN I'm going to play it, and THEN I'll decide if it's good or not.

But I'm certainly not going to throw a hissy fit just because ONE character is either absent or not in all modes. If that was the case, I'd have a lot less fighting games. Yes, it's a disappointment. But it doesn't make the game abysmal.
