SEGA has partnered with Nintendo to put out three exclusive games on Nintendo platforms. Two have been revealed thus far: Sonic Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. There’s also one final mystery title in development.

SEGA’s European chief Jurgen Post spoke about the deal with MCV, stating:

We have Sonic: Lost World on Wii U and 3DS and then Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics later in the year too. Plus there is a third game we haven’t announced.

Historically Sonic games have always sold very well on Nintendo platforms, so it’s a good fit. And Nintendo and Sega have always worked together in a positive way – the first game Sonic debuted on after we stopped making hardware was a Nintendo platform.

Post later addressed the Wii U’s slow start. It’s a concern for sure, but Post hopes Sonic can help improve the situation:


Shigeru Miyamoto recently made a big deal out of certain codes players can obtain in Pikmin 3. Miyamoto has now posted a follow-up message on Miiverse outlining how the “reward” can be accessed.

On the Wii U’s Internet browser, visit this link. You’ll need to input your code – and that’s it. A video should then appear.

Multiple videos have already surfaced online, so it’s not just one that we’re dealing with. You can find the clips after the break.
