I feel like Eggman is just paraphrasing something Iizuka probably said in the office. XD
Iizuka: “Gameplay shmameplay, Wisps are where it’s at! GIMME!!”
Dodon Pa…like the roller coaster in Japan. Sweet reference!
Reading the preview, it felt like this was going to be nothing more than a glorified advert. However, I was mistaken: it’s a glorified game manual instead. The dialogue is there simply to describe how the game works, and almost none of it is in-character. And this is a major disappointment, as I know IDW is capable of so much more than this, as the main comic proves time and again.
Honestly, the only good thing about this is the art.
