The SEGA Blog has revealed some plot details and a couple of Wii-U screenshots for Sonic: Lost World:
“Dr. Eggman has harnessed the power of six menacing creatures collectively known as the Deadly Six, but when the Deadly Six rise up against their master, Sonic has to unite with his arch nemesis in order to take on the new enemies head-on. Using his dynamic new parkour moves and improved Color Powers, Sonic must run, jump and race through a variety of ever-changing terrains in order to defeat the Deadly Six.”
The first trailer for Sonic: Lost World on Wii-U has been revealed and it looks like a beautiful mix of Sonic Xtreme in Sonic Colours! Check it out below:
Also revealed is the first screenshot of the 3DS version which you can see in the image above. It looks like another side-scroller in a similar style to Generations, but there’s plenty of room for this to still surprise us just like the Wii-U version.
The above image has just appeared on the official SEGA page and features silhouettes of a collection of new characters who will appear in Sonic: Lost World for Wii-U and 3DS.
The image comes with the message, “Six will rise from the Lost World. Are they friends or foes? Find out on May 29th.”
SEGA president John Cheng has revealed that Sonic: Lost World will feature all new gameplay and enemies, as well as some new friends to accompany Sonic. Cheng has said:
“With ‘Sonic Lost World,’ we’re going to introduce new gameplay and enemies, which is always fun. In terms of Sonic and his friends, he’ll have his same friends there, and I think there’ll be some new ones as well. It’s not a reiteration. It’s going to be all new.”
Cheng has also commented on the deal between Nintendo and SEGA which means the next 3 Sonic games are Nintendo exclusive:
“It should be a win-win situation. Don’t count Nintendo out.”
Nintendo and SEGA have announced a worldwide partnership for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. This will mean that the next 3 Sonic titles will be completely exclusive to Nintendo platforms. This also includes an unannounced title.
President and COO of SEGA of America, John Cheng has said:
“Sonic the Hedgehog has proven incredibly successful on Nintendo platforms and we are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Nintendo. As we initiate this new exclusive partnership with the next three titles we believe that Wii U(TM) and Nintendo 3DS(TM) are ideal platforms to showcase the evolution of the Sonic brand.”
The 3DS eShop will be getting a slew of new Game Gear titles. The newly announced additions include:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic Blast
Sonic Labyrinth
Sonic Drift 2
Tails Adventure
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
Crystal Warriors
Columns
Defenders of Oasis
Shining Force II: The Sword of Hajya
G-Loc Air Battle
Vampire: Master of Darkness
No release dates have been announced at this time.
Christian “Taxman” Whitehead and Stealth’s remastered version of Sonic the Hedgehog is now available for iOS and Android. Owners of SEGA’s original mobile port of Sonic 1 should also be receiving updates which essentially turn the game into the remastered version.
Check out some screenshots of the new features below which include the option to play as Tails and Knuckles as well as customisable controls and the ability to change the “box art” to the region of your choice:
News has broken that SEGA will re-release Sonic the Hedgehog on the 3DS eShop with added 3D support to show depth in the backgrounds. This news follows the release of 3D Space Harrier and 3D Super Hang-On, all of which are still Japan exclusive.
The re-release will launch on May 15th to mark the 25th anniversary of the Mega Drive in Japan and it will be priced 600 yen. Additional features include the already mentioned 3D effect, all the bug fixes and added details from the later revisions of Sonic 1 (rippling water, scrolling clouds), the addition of the spin attack, a classic view mode which simulates a CRT monitor and an option to choose a Mega Drive model 1 or 2 sound balance.
This re-release is unrelated to Christian Whitehead and Stealth’s port of Sonic the Hedgehog which runs using Whitehead’s custom Retro Engine and supports a widescreen display.
Take a look at some screenshots below:
No word on whether this version will make it to the West at this time.
