The shot above is likely from a rough version of the game, but it’s still neat to look at. It shows what potentially may be Sonic Boom’s HUD, camera angle, etc.

A few 3D OutRun tidbits

3D OutRun is more than just a re-release with stereoscopic 3D. SEGA and M2 are including a virtual Deluxe Version, featuring a simulated arcade cabinet much like 3D Space Harrier.
There’s also a new version of the game (new car, five kinds of goals, four other customization parts) plus the new songs “Cruising Line” from Black Rock Shooter: The Game composer Manabu Namiki and “Camino ami Amor” from Jane-Evelyn Nisperos.

Iizuka on using Link’s tunic for Sonic Lost World’s Zelda Zone DLC
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Sonic Lost World’s Zelda Zone features the hedgehog dressed up in Link’s garb. But in the Yoshi Zone, Sonic’s appearance remains the same.
Producer Takashi Iizuka explained why this is so to 4Gamer in a recent interview. For the Yoshi DLC, SEGA wanted to focus on Sonic running around and collecting eggs. But for the Zelda Zone, even though Hyrule Field appears, some players may not be familiar with the series and may have felt that it was nothing more than an average area. Iizuka therefore took charge in making sure Sonic was dressed as Link.
“While talking with the designers, we were wondering how we could have Sonic wear these clothes and look normal while covering his spikes,” Iizuka said. “In any case, I was definitely worried at the time of designing.”

No more Sonic Lost World DLC planned
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
SEGA ended up creating three different pieces of DLC for Sonic Lost World. We saw content based on Nights, Yoshi, and The Legend of Zelda.
Those who may have been hoping for more Sonic Lost World DLC will be disappointed to hear that there’s nothing else planned. Producer Takashi Iizuka told 4Gamer in a recent interview:
You can see from our design of the DLC introduction page on our official site, we decided from the beginning that we would do three pieces of DLC. We are continuing to make it free, which is a bit difficult for SEGA, since both Yoshi’s Island Zone and The Legend of Zelda Zone were both in collaboration with Nintendo, but SEGA doesn’t have any kind of tradeout from there (note: means this next DLC is not being funded by another source).
Iizuka also mentioned to 4Gamer that for the Zelda DLC, working with Nintendo went smoothly. “We were able to work with so much material in the making of The Legend of Zelda Zone,” he told the site. “I have to say, in making Dodongo’s Cavern into a cylinder-shaped stage, we were all able to easily agree on it.”
As for what lies ahead for Sonic Team, Iizuka said that he’s not in a position to discuss anything at this time.
We’ll have a few more quotes from Iizuka’s interview with 4Gamer within the next couple of days.
