Sonic Lost World has new gameplay and enemies, new and old friends
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Not much has been said about Sonic Lost World. One piece of art slipped through the latest Nintendo Direct, and that was pretty much it.
But in a brief follow-up with the Associated Press, SEGA of America president John Cheng did confirm that the game will “introduce new gameplay and enemies”. Fans of the series can also expect Sonic’s “same friends” and “some new ones as well.”
“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 added that, for Wii U, Nintendo’s deal with SEGA “should be a win-win situation,” adding that we shouldn’t “count Nintendo out.”
Thanks to Captain N for the tip.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
SEGA may have let a couple details slip about Sonic Lost World through its official Sonic Facebook page.
Three images are rumored to have been shown on the page while more information had been promised for May 29. The first photo described sounds quite a bit like the official artwork piece released today. Another image, Sonic Stadium writes, “is said to have featured the outline of six ‘guardians’ from the game who may be friends or foes.”
One reader tip sent to Sonic Stadium reads:
Fire Emblem: Awakening DLC goes uncensored in Europe
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Fire Emblem: Awakening’s “Summer Scramble” DLC is out now in Europe. As you may remember, Nintendo censored a moment of one CG scene for the North American release.
In Europe, Nintendo kept the scene in tact. It’s exactly the same as it was in the original Japanese version – there’s no censor whatsoever.
I wonder what makes North American so “special”…

Nintendo and SEGA announced two new Sonic games today. Sonic Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games both made their debuts during the Nintendo Direct.
But that’s not all. A third, mysterious game is in development as well, according to a press release sent by SEGA. We don’t know anything about it – will it be for both the Wii U and 3DS? Just one platform? And when will it be revealed?
Stay tuned!
Yes, Smash Bros., 3D Mario, and Mario Kart will be on the next Nintendo Direct
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Considering that a new Nintendo Direct is less than a month away, today’s presentation wasn’t too shabby. But really, it’s the next broadcast that everyone will be paying attention to.
Satoru Iwata temporarily took over the Nintendo of America Twitter account to re-re-confirm (I’m making that up!) that Smash Bros., 3D Mario, and Mario Kart will be featured on the next Nintendo Direct. Other Wii U titles will be shown, too.
#IwataSays We will discuss new Smash Bros., 3D Mario game, Mario Kart and other Wii U titles in our #NintendoDirectNA before the start of E3
