Sonic Lost World is getting a DX Edition in Japan.

And here Sega go giving exclusive merchandise to the one part of the world that is least interested in Sonic. Hope they give Europe and North America something extra. Or even just bring this over to us, because I really want that mug!

'Time Eater' from the 3DS version of 'Sonic Generations' is the ****ing worst boss ever.

I actually enjoy that fight on 3DS, even if it's somewhat long. If you hate the boss on 3DS, then wait 'til you fight him on the console versions (if you haven't already)!

BLASPHEMY! *shakes fist angrily*

New trailer and quite a bit of new footage due to the Gamescom demo.

i'm loving the music Lost World has so far.

Oh goodness, even the deaths remind me of Mario (specifically 3D Land/World). But Sonicmari Damaci looks awesome. ^.^

An extended version of the Gamescom trailer has just been uploaded...with a mere 12 seconds of extra footage...

...BUT WAIT, DON'T GO YET!
Because that 12 seconds of extra footage is actually for revealing a special, limited stock (basically, a special edition for pre-orders) version of the game, called "Sonic Lost World: Deadly Six Edition".



This special edition includes some exclusive DLC. By the looks of it, the DLC depicts the Deadly Six teaming up with bosses from the NiGHTS franchise, meaning Sonic has to fight them.

Not much is known about the contents or the distribution of the Deadly Six Edition, but extra boss fights are a given, and it seems to be a special pre-order bonus. Though it may be possible to get it without pre-ordering if you simply run into a first wave copy (kinda like how I got the Limited Edition of Lego City Undercover without pre-ordering, or the glow in the dark box for Luigi's Mansion 2).

Either way - Sega sure knows how to provide good pre-order bonuses, between this and what Generations did.

(NiGHTS fan.) >.>'

holy crap i just noticed how pervy that thumbnail looks

Dat thumbnail.

Here's some screenshots of the world map. Kinda like the one in Colours. Also, you can see examples of the game's Miiverse functionality.

Also, HI YACKER!
Hey Iizuka, you still going to try and tell us that this game will have no plot relation to Colours?

I was hoping to play as my Mii that sounds stupid.

The multiplayer in Sonic Colours let you play as your Mii, though it was an unlockable. It's likely this game will let you do the same.

Oh, that's great!

Huh. I just noticed that, in addition to bringing back the Super Peel Out, this game is using "Zone #" for the levels as opposed to "Act #," just like Sonic CD.

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

More concrete details on that pre-order bonus:

If I get that I'll never beat the game.

"While supplies last." Well, I certainly won't be getting that version. *sigh* x.x

If you really want this and want to be safe, you could just pre-order it and then have the game ready for when you get a Wii U, assuming you want one. That's only if you're real desperate though.

Otherwise, I'm willing to bet this DLC is a timed exclusive and will be released on the eShop for everyone eventually, just like the Casino Night DLC for Generations.

Me personally - I was going to pre-order Lost World next week when I go to pick up Rayman Legends, but I'll have to check if my local Gamestop will definitely have the Deadly Six Edition. They've cheated me out of pre-order bonuses before, so I will have to be careful, as I really want this.

Though I may not be living in the same area when this comes out, so maybe my best bet will be to pre-order online somewhere.

Considering I just bought a new PS3, I don't intend to currently get a Wii U until I have saved up more money... or I win another contest at school. @.@

Confirmation that the Deadly Six Edition will be available at all retailers



Also, there is actually a plot to the NiGHTS DLC. Wizeman sucks Sonic into the world of nightmares, where the Deadly Six then ride atop Nightmarean (sp?) creatures (the NiGHTS bosses), and Sonic needs to defeat them himself.

There is also an extra level to go with the DLC, and a new wisp exclusive to owners of the DLC (don't actually know what it is yet, but I have a feeling it will be NiGHTS himself, due to the whole "Dualise" mechanic from the NiGHTS games).

So I guess this pretty much means it's canon that the Sonic games and the NiGHTS games take place within the same universe, if Sonic can be captured by Wizeman.

Sonic you silly hedgehog, you're not supposed to have a Twitter... *brick'd* x.x

Sonic has Twitter?

I just realized... sonic has new parkour moves that make him move up walls and such much better, and he can use them by holding a button, and he can run at different speeds by holding a button...

Honestly, it reminds me more of Rayman Origins/Legends than it reminds me of Assassin's Creed.

...And Assassin's Creed took it's parkour cues from Prince of Persia, sooooo...

Which reminds me, am I the only one getting sick of people comparing every new Sonic game to Mario Galaxy? I personally don't even get too many Mario vibes from Lost World either.

I think they say that because they feel Lost World levels took the "floating spherical worlds suspended in space" style that the Galaxy games had. You even have springs which send Sonic to other floating landmasses much like the Sling Stars did.

For me, there's a bit more to it. The forest level they showed off heavily reminded me of the jungle worlds that have been in the New Super Mario Bros. series. From what I've seen, the world map seems reminiscent of Galaxy 2's style, showing off slight previews of what the level offers and using a path to connect the levels. The second world is going to contain desert levels... just like 90% of all Mario (and even Kirby more recently) games do. Also, the bit where Sonic becomes a snowball is eerily similar to the ball-rolling levels from Galaxy, sans the gimmicky motion controls. Lastly, when Sonic dies in the Wii U version, the screen goes black except for the part of the level where you died (like in 3D Land & World) and a "Try Again" appears in a similar font style to the "Too Bad" seen in Galaxy 1 & 2 and 3D Land & World. There might be more, but I can't remember.

I'm not complaining. I know Lost World still has a lot of very different elements to it. For example, they plan on using several more different types of level aesthetics than 3D Land or the New Super Mario Bros. games do. The music will be a much different style. The Wisps act a lot differently than the power ups from Galaxy. Heck, the Rock Mushroom's main ability takes cues from the spin dash. And, of course, the game will actually have a coherent story with several cutscenes. As opposed to Mario games, which tend not to bother with the story. Galaxy was one exception as they were able to sneak one in.

I understand those points and all, and I certainly am not saying what I am in distaste of Mario games (Galaxy 2 is one of my favourite 3D platformers). It's just that it bugs me when people specifically try to say "Sonic is becoming Mario".

I do agree with your point on the NSMBU Forest Level. And I personally thought the jungle level that has the giant owls in Lost World looks a lot like the jungle world in Donkey Kong Country Returns.

But parallels can always be drawn between games. It just bugs me when people interpret it as games ripping off each other. Lost World isn't ripping off Mario by having a desert level, desert levels are just common tropes of platformers, and there have been plenty of desert levels in Sonic games already. Heck, I can think of a few RPGs and action games with desert levels.

And regarding the "Try Again!" screen, many games have messages like that. I just recently played through Rayman 2, and when you lose all of your health in that game, a black screen saying "Try Again!" comes up.

I dunno, I guess it annoys me because people don't seem to understand the idea of "industry standards".

Yeah, I can understand your annoyance. To be honest, I'd play the psychological phenomenon known as the recency effect for all the comparisons. Since Colors and Lost World are exclusive to Nintendo platforms, and the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U have gotten a TON of Mario games on them in recent years, in comparison to past Nintendo systems, I think people are just drawing constant comparisons to Mario as opposed to other series or even other Sonic games because that's what they're remembering.

An alternative theory is that the ones saying that are haters determined to hate the game with every fiber of their being. And drawing constant comparison to Mario, in spite of Nintendo & SEGA not being rivals anymore, is the fuel for their hatred. The best thing to do is to try to ignore it. If you don't pay attention to their comments, then they can't win. <.<

Well, it's not something that truly gets under my skin, just a pet peeve. And then there are times when people are really splitting hairs. Like when people accused Sonic Unleashed of copying Mario Galaxy for having a rich orchestrated theme song.

Here's a nice 60fps video of Lost World gameplay for anyone who's interested. It looks really nice.

well AC IS a spiritual successor to POP.

and yeah, i'm getting sick of people STILL comparing Sonic to Mario. I thought this rivalry was finished since Sega became a third-party developer, but I guess not.

And what makes me even angrier about this is that even GAME CRITICS do this. not all, but a big chunk of them. I can't even remember how many times GameInformer has either compared a new Sonic game to Mario, or said it was stealing from Mario.
