Sonic Lost World has only been available on Wii U for the past couple of years. Starting in November, that will be changing.

SEGA has made the decision to port Sonic Lost World over to PC. Its distribution on Steam will begin on November 2, where the game will cost $24.99. There are some bonuses like achievements, but it pretty much appears to be the same game.

I’m covering this if only because the news came out of left field. I don’t think anyone would have predicted that Sonic Lost World would be heading to another platform!

Thanks to shinun and Tom for the tip.

Nielsen has conducted a poll to determine the most-anticipated games of Holiday 2015.

On Wii U, Yoshi’s Woolly World came out on top with a 91 percent score. Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and Devil’s Third also ranked highly.

Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden is the most-anticipated 3DS game according to Nielson, followed by Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon.

Nielson said of its Nintendo findings:

Though Nintendo may be short on multi-platform titles this holiday, it has a surplus of high-profile exclusives, with a total of seven highly anticipated games on Wii U or 3DS due out in the coming months. U.S. gamers are keen to jump into Yoshi’s Woolly World (91%) on Wii U after the publisher released the title in the U.K. earlier this year, and the combination of Animal Crossing and Amiibo is generating a great deal of excitement among many Wii U gamers for Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival (84%). Nintendo’s console will also see exclusive releases of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (80%) and a relatively rare M-rated exclusive with the new action title Devil’s Third (76%). Gamers on the 3DS are looking forward to The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (86%) and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (77%), new titles that build on two of Nintendo’s biggest franchises. The 3DS will also welcome a third-party exclusive that gamers are enthusiastic for; fighting game Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden (88%) from Bandai Namco.

The Nielsen Game rank, which is what the rankings above are based on, “represents the overall anticipation level among gamers on each platform, based on a combination of several key measures (including awareness, purchase interest, consumer rating and others).” As for the percentage, this “reflects how strong the overall anticipation level is for the title, relative to the pre-release anticipation levels of all previous titles that released on the platform(s).”

All games releasing between October 1 and December 31 were eligible for the survey. Additionally, data was gathered from over 4,800 gamers age 7 to 54 between the dates of August 24 and September 19.
