Very good news for those who missed the first game, plus it's also a good idea since both stories in the first and second game are going to be related although the second will have a lot more backstory and it's from the rival's point of view. I'm glad they are correcting the 3D problems with the first game and re-releasing it bundled with the sequel. Now why can't game companies these days be this honest and caring for their fans.
