SEGA released a new teaser image for Sonic Lost World on its Facebook page today. In addition to the photo above, the following message was posted:
“Six will rise from the Lost World. Are they friends or foes? Find out on May 29th.”
Sonic Lost World should also be covered heavily on the next Nintendo Direct.
Nintendo’s next Nintendo Direct, planned for E3 time, has been set. The presentation will be streamed on June 11 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET.
A tweet from Nintendo confirms:
Hello. We already announced we will have another #NintendoDirectNA at E3, but now we can share the date/time: 6/11 at 7 am PT. #IwataSays

A press release from Nintendo says that the Direct “will provide updates about future Wii U games”.
Mike Fischer became Square Enix of America’s president and CEO in July 2010. He is now gone from the company.
A Polygon report confirms that Fischer has moved on to Amazon’s Japan division as the vice president of digital Music and Video.
Fischer told the site that he left on good terms, but did not provide further information. Square Enix has not commented on the situation at this time.
A couple of weeks ago, Capcom announced plans to host a “blood swimming pool” event in London. The company hoped to promote the new release of Resident Evil: Revelations while hosting an enjoyable happening for fans.
This was set to take place over the weekend, but has since been cancelled due to the tragic events that took place in the UK yesterday.
Capcom said in a statement:
“In light of yesterday’s sad events we’re cancelling our Revelations pool event. Thank you for your understanding.”
This is probably for the best. It just wouldn’t have made sense to host this given what happened.

“SQUARE ENIX will be showcasing a terrific lineup of games this E3 Expo. Square Enix Presents is a new way we can engage on a more meaningful and personal level with our community and fans and share with them the spectacle and excitement of E3.”
