The blue blur's latest adventure is coming exclusively to 3DS and Wii U.

Sonic Lost World has been announced exclusively for Wii U and 3DS at today's Nintendo Direct.

One screen was shown that features a planet in the clouds that is made up of floating hexagons. Sonic and Tails are flying towards the planet in a biplane.

Part of a worldwide partnership between Nintendo and Sega, nothing else is known about this title, and no release date has been revealed.

We can see Sonic and Tails flying in the tornadoe as well. I wonder what this partnership really means? What did Nintendo do other than get it exclusive? Either way Sonic has been on the up and up lately, so looking forward to this at E3.

Yay! I can't wait until it gets delayed so it can be ported to other systems!

[Caterkiller]

If its really a partnership, I'm thinking this one will stay exclusive. Hope its coming out this year with co-op Sonic and Tails and no dumb gameplay styles.

[BlkPaladin]

The way it was words makes me think a few things.
1) Nintendo is lending a hand at developing the game. (If you look at the picture it does have a galaxy feel.)
2) There is going to be more then one game out of this partnership.

It could mean that Nintendo has secured the new games in the franchise for the time being. It was actually worded poorly but it was Iwata saying it in English. I'm sure there are people in the media trying to get clarification on the partnership.

Lost World means Dinosaurs, right?

[Fatty The Hutt]

Yay! I can't wait until it gets delayed so it can be ported to other systems!

Ha! Nicely played.

So Nintendo is helping with a Sonic game? That means a Sonic game might actually be good?


Is that irony? Or is it just funny?

[Evan_B]

The whole "worldwide exclusive partnership" thing Nintendo seems to be playing up with this title implies that Sonic: Lost World will probably stay on Wii U. I mean, it's not the first time we've had a Nintendo-exclusive Sonic title, but they seem to be emphasizing that it's a collaboration between the two companies.

Let's hope it continues the trend of recent Sonic games being... you know, good. Ah, who am I kidding? I'll buy it anyway.

[Adrock]

Looks like Sonic isn't getting cut from Smash Bros.

[SonofMrPeanut]

Yes, you are seeing this correctly.  Someone started a petition to end the exclusivity deal.  As if I didn't get enough laughter from that mere fact, try reading some of the signature messages.

Sometime I hate the internet age we live in...

Can i just make a petition for them to end their stupid petition?

[Ian Sane]

I'm blown away that anyone who was old enough to play the original Sonic games when they were current still gives enough of a **** about Sonic to want these games but is not such a hardcore Sonic bumboy that they wouldn't buy a Wii U for them.

With this and Bayonetta 2 you would figure that the Wii U has enough games that people are pissed off about being Wii U exclusives that they would now have enough games interesting them to justify a Wii U purchase.  In the past if games you were interested in went exclusive to another system you followed the games and it influenced your console purchase.  I guess this just shows how unpopular the Wii was with core gamers in that the presence of "their" games on the Wii U doesn't give the Wii U credibility but rather tarnishes the games.

Can I start a petition to end Pikmin 3 exclusivity?

"Pissing U off.  Wii U.  Wii Do not Discriminate."

[Caterkiller]

Maybe if Generations sold better than it did things would be different. Oh F'ing well.

I can't believe people still petition crap like this. This guys must be under 18 or a super loser, I was an idiot teenager once too, I signed the petition to make WW realistic.

Freakin teenagers man, no good to no body.

"Pissing U off.  Wii U.  Wii Do not Discriminate."

Hahahahahahahaha

[SonofMrPeanut]

Update:  The petition has been removed.  "Well this is embarassing" indeed.

[pokepal148]

Remember how people said that noone ever knows what Nintendo Direct even is and gaming press always ignores them?

I hope it's "a good game" (c) me.

Everything else a bonus.

I enjoyed Sonic Colours for a few days when i played it.

But where will all our adults come from in the future!?

[jayar]

My favorite part of that petition was the goal of 200 signatures. That was the number they were striving for. That made my morning.

[Shaymin]

A cynic might say that 200 signatures represents a supermajority of the Sonic fanbase.

SEGA has shot themselves in the foot over this one. I've been fighting the good fight for over a decade now helping Sonic reach popularity on consoles. I bought 15 new copies of Sonic The Hedgehog On the Xbox 360 (because that's the company SEGA publicly supported at first, not the PlayStation who kicked SEGA out of the market in the first place) to support the blue blur. 15! That's just the one game. Over the course of these last few years, I've purchased over 150 brand new Sonic games to help them win this battle. I didn't regret that money before because it was done in the name of service. When SEGA was forced to make Wii games, I looked the other way. I allowed you that free pass so you could give them horrible titles and steal all of the Nintendo fan's cash so you could make better games for us. It is clear now that I'm the only one who gives a **** about the war anymore. SEGA isn't about sticking it to the man anymore. It is NO LONGER ABOUT VALUES.

Now Nintendo has stolen everything we've loved and cherished: The Blue Blur. Within years, Nintendo is going to retcon the entire Comic and TV series out of existence just like they with their own games. They're going to take everything that us fans have worked for years to build and ruin it. Good Bye SeGA, you just jumped the Orca.

Yes! Let the anger flow!
Seriously though, that's it for humanity we are done for. Pack it up and just hope some meteor decimates us all.
