This interview with Takashi Iizuka is fairly informative about Lost World and the future of Sonic games. What's probably the most important piece of information is the fact that Colour Powers are not back in Lost World because it's supposed to be a sequel to Sonic Colours (according to Iizuka, Lost World will not link back to Sonic Colours at all from a story perspective, and is just another random Sonic plot that stands on it's own. Knowing Iizuka though, he may be misleading us here). Colour Powers are back in Lost World simply because of the success of Sonic Colours. Because the game owed it's critical and commercial success to the Colour Powers, they are actually planned to become a series standard, meaning that as things stand, Colour Powers will be in every main Sonic game from now on.

This is very good news in my book. Though if you didn't like Sonic Colours because of the Colour Powers, then you may be quite annoyed by this news.

Do you think they'll make a 'Bingo Highway' spoof next year?

Most likely Casino Park since that comes first. Casino Clank?

It'll be both since they're part of the same zone.

Stop changing the title, I fall for it every time. D:<

Yeah, I was mostly joking.

I was just poking fun, because I'm kinda skeptical and on the fence about the Archie comics myself. I don't hate them myself.

Aaaah whop
Oh
Makes sense
Well, I guess make the best of it while you can, since pretty soon there might not even be comics to poke fun at anymore; with the whole mess Ken Penders is making.

I've been watching that trainwreck for months (maybe longer!). Funny how this happens when I start trying to get into the comics... >.>; Oi.

THE PENDERPOCALYPSE

Anyway...

A new Nintendo Direct was put up today, and the very first thing they talked about was Sonic Lost World. Nothing much that was new, except they explained how the gadgets in the Wii U version's Support Mode work.

You build the gadgets yourself in the 3DS version of the game, and then you send them over to the Wii U version to actually be used. They didn't say whether or not default gadgets would already be in the Wii U version though.

Also, in the Japanese Nintendo Direct, they showed off a cutscene from the game, where the Deadly Six turn Eggman's Badniks against him. One thing you can notice is that there are a lot more characters on screen during the cutscene, compared to in-game cutscenes from past games, and a lot more is going on.

Sonic Colors is my favorite Sonic game, but my feelings for this are mixed.

Sonic Colors was special because it had the wisps. I didn't think they were the best part of the game, but they were a nice addition. but they also made Colors special. if sonic lost world is basically a sequel to colors, I wouldn't mind them because it would be a part of the colors story. but if it isn't, and they plan to make it a regular gimmick, you stain what made colors so special. milking the color powers will take away the fact that colors was the unique one in the series to do that. it's like, for example, the gunplay in shadow the hedgehog, or werehog in unleashed (I know, bad examples) were the gimmicks that made those games notable. the color powers made colors notable for that. making it regular won't make sonic colors so special anymore, let alone as special as it was.

basically, while I like the color powers, i'm not a big fan of this choice.

The thing about the Colour Powers was that not many people found them to be a gimmick.

To define what a gimmick is in gaming, it's some kind of mechanic that is forced on you, on top of the experience you expected, and interrupts what you expected.

Despite the fact I really liked the Werehog and didn't have a problem with it when all was said and done, it was a huge gimmick. It wasn't something that worked as part of the normal Sonic gameplay, it was separate and actually forced you to not play the Sonic game you probably came for. The Werehog was essentially a separate game mode.

The Colour Powers were not a gimmick, however, because you could play the majority (if not, all) of the game without ever using them. And even when you did use them, they were just a quick burst of fun that added variety to the game.

Because of that, Colour Powers were not seen as a shoehorned gimmick, but as a natural fit into the Sonic formula. Stuff like that should be kept.

Colours will still be special, as it will have been the pioneer of a great new mechanic for the franchise. Plus, it had it's own surreal environments, amazing soundtrack, and lighthearted tone and jokes that are unique to it. Plus it had the Co-op and Egg Shuttle Modes which were quite fun. Not to mention that it was the first 3D Sonic game that had Super Sonic playable in normal levels.

Just because a game is the first to use something that becomes mainstay, doesn't mean it loses what makes it special or important. Sonic 1 and 2 are perfect examples! Everything those games did has been done by future games, but those games are still really special and unique.

The wisps are too cute for me to deny. @.@

That's a good argument. I am convinced.

This was also shown at Summer of Sonic this year:

Does anybody know where 'Summer of Sonic 2014' is going to be held?

^Nope.

I like Chip in Sonic unleashed in brief.

Maybe it's just me but...why do the deadly six look so...3DS quality? This is obviously Wii U footage (or is it?) and they really don't compare to the amazing quality I saw in the trailer...that's a little dissapointing.

Okay, finished all 4 stories of 'Sonic Heroes', need all I need is to get the 4 remaining chaos emeralds, I'm sure it can't be that hard...

GOD ****ING DAMN SPECIAL STAGES ****ING SUCK. >.>;

New Trailer,Full English Cutscene,Tails even more helpless

I liked the cutscene. Too bad the comments descended into another voice actor debate. How does that ALWAYS seem to happen? I should study it, for science! <.<

In all honesty, Sonic was being more useless as he kicked an item out of Eggmans hands without listening to Tails. >.>

I love how the entire plot to this game could be summed up by saying "Sonic, you dolt!".

Damn it, there's a water level.
