There’s no question that E3 2005 had some memorable Nintendo moments. Satoru Iwata opened up the conference with a hilarious dig at Reggie, talking “smack” at the executive and teased: “So Reggie, I have a question for you: who’s your daddy?”

The “Revolution”, later becoming Wii, was definitely the highlight of the conference. Iwata came out and showed the hardware for the first time, shared various details (including the Virtual Console announcement), confirmed a couple of games like Smash Bros., and more.

There were other moments as well – Shigeru Miyamoto’s weirdness during the Nintendogs segment and the third trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, for instance.

Sonic’s last few outings have been moving (slowly) in the right direction, but can ‘Lost World’ bring the series all the way back?

System: Nintendo Wii U/3DS
Release Date: TBA, Late 2013
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: SEGA

Author: Spencer

This year, Sega announced a partnership with Nintendo to bring three Sonic the Hedgehog games exclusively to Nintendo platforms, namely the Wii U and 3DS. The first game they announced was Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games, a new entry in the Mario & Sonic Olympics series. The second game is a core Sonic title, Sonic: Lost World. Coming later this year to Wii U and 3DS, this new game will see Sonic on a whole new adventure in a new world.

Hit the jump to see what we know so far about Sonic: Lost World.

Sniper Elite V2 is a fairly bare bones experience on Wii U. Unlike the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, there is no online co-op of any sort. There isn’t any downloadable content either.

This won’t be changing anytime soon; publisher 505 Games told Coffee With Games: “We currently do not have any plans for DLC.”

Developer Rebellion doesn’t have much to discuss when it comes to future game updates. When asked about the possibility of posting in-game screenshots to Miiverse, CEO and creative director Jason Kingsley responded:

“With the game just launched, it’s probably a bit early to talk about updates or new content yet!”

Kingsley was similarly quiet when asked about Sniper Elite V2’s engine, but he did mention how the Wii U version runs at a higher resolution than that of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 original.

“We can’t really go into specifics, but all versions of Sniper Elite V2 are running off our powerful in-house engine – Asura – which is very adaptable. We even use it to power our mobile games. The game also runs at a higher resolution on Wii U than it does on Xbox 360 and PS3 due to the platform’s hardware strengths.”
