Sonic Lost World 3DS stage details
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Famitsu has details on two of the stages included in the 3DS version of Sonic Lost World.
First, let’s talk about Desert Ruins Zone 1, which was shown briefly in the latest Nintendo Direct. This is a huge, spreadout desert with tons of quicksand. Sonic will encounter sand worms, large cacti, and creatures of the desert – all of which will be in the way. Famitsu wonders what caused the decay in the ruins since everything is so scattered.
Frozen Factory Zone 1 was also covered in the Famitsu’s latest report. Sonic will slide his way down the snowy mountains on his snowboard, making this stage fast-paced. On frozen ground and dealing with heavy bursts of cold air, snowballs are another addition to this stage. You won’t be seeing objects like the factory switches or gears here, as the real gimmick is “listening”. Expect to solve puzzles with the listening gimmick and the power of electricity.
Famitsu also goes over elements like the parkour system which plays similarly to the Wii U version. Players can run on the walls and ceilings, jump from wall to wall, and make their way through the stages in a variety of ways. There’s also the somersault move – enemies who are hit by the attack, whether they’re in motion or still, will have their weaknesses exposed and make it easier for you to attack them.

Nintendo’s online service for sharing 3DS screenshots to social networking sites has seemingly been updated with support for several other games on the console. Previously the website only supported posting screenshots from Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but now you can share all your Style Savvy outfits, Art Academy pieces and Freakforms…things with others on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr (sorry Myspace!). Full list of games supported over the break…

Sonic Lost World has a new 360 degree “Tube Stage”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Sonic Lost World will introduce a new 360 degree “Tube Stage”, according to Sonic the Hedgehog series producer Takashi Iizuka. This is presumably the special stage types we’ve seen in previous Sonic titles, but taken to a new level.
Iizuka understands that some may have doubts about the gameplay mechanic, but he mentioned how people also questioned if Sonic itself could really be imagined in 3D.
In an interview with Famitsu, Iizuka stated:
“In 2011, we delivered a compilation of Sonic games from the past 20 years, called Sonic Generations. Next is 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. 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.”

Square Enix has picked up a trademark for “Rise of Mana” in Japan. Does that mean there could be a new development in the Mana series?
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of Rise of Mana. The same name was registered in Europe a few months ago.
