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!

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.

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?

Ha! Nicely played.
+1

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?

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.

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

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?

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 fuck 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."

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.

>_<

Hahahahahahahaha

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

from the petitions comments

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

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Ha.

I hope this game is the 3rd coming of Jesus Burgess.

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!?

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

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

Seriously though, that's it for humanity we are done for. Pack it up and just hope some meteor decimates us all.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but "x has shot itself in a foot" is a famous meme coming from NeoGAF, when someone wants to make up retarded meltdown they always include something about shooting in the foot and being expert in japanese culture.

Gamers are so tribal no? I am very much only in the Nintendo camp, but I was never ever like that. Not with Soul Calibur 3, not with Sonic Generations or anything. I mean I was upset, but this is the kind of hate that runs on extensive amounts of energy.

And now with twitter and the rest of the internet all the ugly things man kind is capable of that we used to think didn't exist have voice through social media. Still it's great for laughs!

So whats the next franchise that rest of the gaming world goes kong s*** bananas for? I have a feeling a new one is coming for E3. Hey let's make a game out of it! Please please please! To late starting a thread now!

can we play fallacy bingo with that thread?

I'm right there with you, Cater. Social media has especially made the negative folks come out of the bushes. It's a bit absurd.

I, too, really hope another big name third party game gets announced as exclusive for Wii U. Not to deter from Sonic: Lost World discussion, but part of me hopes that it's either Final Fantasy XV or Kingdom Hearts 3. That'd be a colossal megastorm of fury all across the internet.

But yeah, that Sonic: Lost World. Count me in. If this is Sonic Team getting help from Nintendo devs to make an awesome Sonic game, then I'm quite looking forward to what this could turn in to. The lone screenshot of a Super Mario Galaxy-esque  planetoid gives me hope. So, who knows? Should be interesting to see it progress.

final fantasy XV on 3DS makes more since, and it will cause a bigger firestorm so :D

I am a Sonic and Nintendo fan, so for me to have his games on a Nintendo System doesn't bug me one bit because it is PURE WIN!
