Rise Against the Deadly Six in Sonic Lost World

Were excited to announce details of the next Sonic the Hedgehog game! Sonic Lost World will be published on Nintendo platforms as part of the exclusive partnership recently announced between the two companies. Sonic Lost World puts Sonic up to the challenge as he faces his most powerful enemy to date and this time there are six of them to conquer! Sonic Lost World will be available exclusively for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS platforms later this year.

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.

Alongside a single player adventure, the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of Sonic Lost World will feature a range of competitive multiplayer modes. In addition, each platform will also contain distinctive features that take advantage of the consoles unique capabilities. Exclusive Wii U Color Powers can be controlled with the Wii U GamePad by tilting, touching, aiming and more. The full game can also be played using only the GamePad screen and will feature a two player support mode. Sonic Lost World for the Nintendo 3DS is the first handheld Sonic game ever to feature fully realized 3D levels which include exclusive Special Stages and Color Powers unique to Nintendo 3DS.

We are proud of the strong relationship between Nintendo and SEGA and look forward to continuing success with Sonic Lost World on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, commented Hiroyuki Miyazaki, Chief Content Officer, SEGA of America. The game marks an evolution of the Sonic series and fans both old and new will be excited by a story which sees two of video games biggest adversaries, Sonic and Dr. Eggman, joining forces for the first time to help defeat a new deadly threat.

Looks like a mix of Sonic Colors and SMG, nice!TxTech1923

I was thinking the same thing.  And it has the color palette of the Genesis games (Green Hill anyone?) 

I can't wait to see more of it.

Looks like Sonic X-treme will live on after all

...Aaand my expectations just fell off the cliff.

Will still keep my eye open.

Was hoping for some dinosaurs but that looks pretty good.OreoMilkshake

It looks fantastic, but so did Sonic Colors and that was one of the worst games I have ever played, so I am a b it hesitant about this one.

Super Sonic Galaxy!

That looks great! I am extremely glad the characters that Sega teased are just villains and not more silly friends.

I'll keep my eye on Sonic Galaxy X-treme.

Maybe promising, but I'm not holding out. I've played every sonic game since the first till colors...and every game after sonic and knuckles has been unplayably bad.

Why? Sonic hasn't hardly had any new friends for f*cking years and the few that he has had are one offs.

looks great!

The Sonic Game Universe has too many Heroes and use a team of Team of Villains for a change.

Looks decent enough. I do see the camera becoming an issue from the gameplay footage. Sega just doesn't have the programmers and producers that EAD have, and it'll show in the final product.

Looks like Sonic Team is back to making games again. A good day to be a gamer.

Sad to see the return of color powers.

The WiiU Exclusive features aren't all that great.

Also, where's the online race mode for the WiiU version?

Looks decent enough. I do see the camera becoming an issue from the gameplay footage.

FFCYAN

How do you see that when the camera used for the trailer doesn't represent how it'll function in game at all.

wherer is robotnik?Abagnam

Looks decent, but the Sonic franchise is so hit or miss. It's hard not to see the similarity to Mario Galaxy.

Cool pop EDM though.

Here are some gameplay videos:

Late last week we were able to bring you the world debut of Sonic Lost World, both through the game's first trailer as well as exclusive eyes-on impressions and an interview with Takashi Iizuka from Sonic Team. That was awesome, but we wanted to do a bit more, particularly considering we were only able to show small pieces of footage through the trailer. Today we'll not only confirm more details about the Wii U and 3DS versions of Sonic Lost World, but bring you footage of three full stages from both versions. And our Wii U video comes with commentary, wrapping in a variety of information about the game, direct from SEGA brand manager Aaron Weber.

No doubt the biggest thing that will stand out to you is the diversity between the three levels even within the same zone, as the last two areas are technically both a part of the "Desert Ruins." I asked Iizuka about the idea of freeing Sonic Team's designers from some of the 'realism' present in past games. "Yes, we are aiming to get the players more excited and happy as they advance to each level once clearing the previous level by adding more variation to all the levels," Iizuka told me. "This is not just about the variety and fun regarding the theme of a level, but also the shape and play style, which are unique in each."

Another thing you'll notice during the commentary footage below is that Weber references GamePad-specific gameplay. As we already mentioned last week, Whisp-based color powers are activated through the touch screen, and are then controlled or guided from there. "We have many features that are Wii U-specific," Iizuka mentioned. "Normal control of Sonic remains the same using the analog stick and buttons, but the new color powers that appear in this title will use the GamePad. In the 'Cyan Laser' color power, which is in the E3 Demo, you control direction and launch timing with the GamePad. We are also implementing various color powers which will use the GamePad as well." Iizuka also confirmed that the Pro Controller can be used, but only in modes that involve two players.

Speaking of two players, Sonic Team is working on cooperative and competitive options. The first, Support Mode, involves a player with the Wii remote controlling a "Radio Control Gadget" created by Tails. This gizmo allows players to destroy enemies and obstacles, helping less experienced players. Iizuka also mentioned a local competitive mode split between the TV and GamePad as well as a mysterious "fun feature that will allow players to enjoy the game longer."

Despite the fact that development of Lost World began before Sonic Team even knew about Wii U, support for the system's more unique features doesn't just end with GamePad support. SEGA also has plans for Miiverse, which extend beyond the obvious, standard peer-to-peer discussion and game help. Lost World will actually allow players to share undisclosed items through Miiverse, bringing active and actual game mechanics into Nintendo's social service.

But enough about the Wii U version let's dig into the 3DS edition of Sonic Lost World for a bit. As we revealed last time, the approach for this game is to not just push Sonic's latest adventure into 2D form, but to fully embrace 3D levels as appropriate. As in the past, Sonic Team is turning to DIMPS for development of the title. Iizuka stressed to us that the 3DS version is "not a port from the Wii U version" but features "totally new level design to match the screen size and hardware so players can enjoy both versions with a fresh feeling."

We wanted to make sure you were able to see these claims brought to life, so we've captured three levels of the game for you to check out. No commentary, just Sonic blasting through robots, twists and turns.

A couple more details about the 3DS version of the game SEGA has confirmed that the title will support up to four players locally or online for some sort of 'Versus Mode'. We have also been told that the portable and home console versions of the game will somehow be able to communicate with each other, as players will be able to share items.

That's a ton to digest, particularly considering all of the Sonic Lost World information brought you last week. And effectively this is everything related to Sonic: Lost World's E3 2013 presence. However... at E3 we'll get our hands on the game, and give you some thoughts on precisely how it plays. Stay tuned for that and for every last bit of Nintendo (and SEGA!) related information we'll bring to you from E3.IGN

Super Sonic Galaxy, lol

Looks awsome though, I just hope its easy to play

The new trailer had me shouting with joy.  Wow, everything looks incredible. 

I had big doubts about the game at first, funnily enough. 

I can't wait for this game. 8 games for the Wii-U from here to the end of the year for me. Can't wait.

If they have the checkpoint secret stages and the Gold Ring Secret Stages and a Chao Garden,nini200

wow...imagine if it did?

i doubt it...it would be greatest game of all time if that happened. 97 on metacritic..
