In a conversation with Famitsu, Takashi Iizuka has promised Sonic: Lost World will be “different from everything before”. Iizuka-san has gone on record to say that
“…Sonic Lost World, which will feature graphics that fit the game’s content, nice controllability, and a new 360 degree ‘Tube Stage’ that has yet to be seen. We are thinking of showing off a new Sonic that is different from everything before.”
Yes, I believe some people may ask ‘Will you be able to show how fun Sonic can be using a 360 degree stage?’ just like how some asked ‘Will it really be possible to have it in 3D?’ which was the kind of question that helped in the creation of Sonic Adventure.”
Iizuka-san made some further comments about the challenging development of Lost World:
“Yes, I believe some people may ask ‘Will you be able to show how fun Sonic can be using a 360 degree stage?’ just like how some asked ‘Will it really be possible to have it in 3D?’ which was the kind of question that helped in the creation of Sonic Adventure. I believe Sonic Lost World will deliver a new experience for everyone. It will also have data transfer between the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, so please look forward to it.”

Our Sonic Dash competition is now closed and the winners have been decided. We had a brilliant response to the competition and it is with great pleasure that I get to give the following people some exclusive goodies.
First of all, here are the t-shirt winners who were chosen completely at random:
Paul McCambridge
Angelina Deheve
Chloe Martin
Finally, we’re giving the iPhone 5 case away to the person who was the quickest off the mark. It seems appropriate to give Sonic Dash merchandise to our fastest entrant 😉
Congratulations to Dean Veritiero and his Sonic-fast reflexes!
In other news the Sonic Dash Global Challenge has been successful and everyone now has Shadow the Hedgehog to play with in game. Enjoy your new character!

In what has to be the most dramatically British headline ever, SEGA Amusements have unveiled a new attraction at the Butlins holiday park in Minehead.
The new attraction is called the XD Theater and it’s a “4D” theater experience which means you watch a short film and at certain points you get air blown at your face or there’s a spray of watery mist.
There’s no word as to what the short films are that play during the XD Theater but the attraction is open now for visitors of the Minehead Butlins holiday park.

The 3DS re-release of Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master has some additional features which have just been detailed.
Along with the obvious stereoscopic visuals, quick save and round select features have been added. You can also choose to play either the Western or Japanese versions of the game.
The big addition is the inclusion of assigning control to an individual button instead of sharing them accross the Mega Drive original’s 3 button format. You can now assign the commands for jump, close range attack, shuriken attack, defend and ninjutsu to specific buttons.
