Sonic Lost Worlds Debut Trailer [Up: Wii U + 3DS screenshots]

Can we not talk about creepy Sonic fanart?


Please?


Pretty please?


EDIT: Nice post, Ragnarok. There's a lot of detail I've missed. Is that snail blaster enemy from Launch Base Zone? It looks familiar.

Haha saving this too. "That's a clean burning Hell, I'll tell you what!."
 
This actually looks pretty impressive -- great graphically. I feel like it'd hurt my head though. It seems extremely disorientating.
 
Why we got sheep? Do they have something to do with the bells?
Wonder if they're part of the scenery for some sort of scenic shot whilst running around?

What do these blue diamonds do? What's that thing glittering atop that tree in the distance on the left side?
They remind me a lot of the Laser! diamonds from Colours, actually.

Wisps return for some reason. Here is one in a container.
...which supports my reasoning for the blue diamonds, at least.

Good catch. Super Sonic Galaxy Xtreme always seemed like the direction the Colors team always wanted to head in anyway.

Not being bound to the Unleashed gameplay format is probably a breath of fresh air, though Imma miss that style Sonic.

I thought they might be laser related.

The sheep appear in another shot, too, of Sonic running a cylindrical piece of land.
 
Nice to see Red Rings return. I hope hunting for them is more like Colors than in Generations (Where they were ridiculously easy yo find), though.

Not sure what to think about the Wisp thing, though.
 
I did not like Colors' loose platforming but the Wisps were a great addition to the game, I like them making a comeback.
 
^ Nicely spotted! Cool idea.

It is times like these I'm glad I jumped on the Wii-U at launch so I don't have to suddenly scramble to get one once the games start to arrive.

Hopefully with Nintendo involved we'll get a decently challenging Sonic title. Looking at what little gameplay was shown here there is definitely plenty of room for that and I can't wait to see more.

Now June 11th needs to get here so we can see what is going on with the new Mario!

Also sorry to here about the Vita and PS3 replacement, never fun to replace something like that.

Thanks, it does suck :/ And you're right, would have been so much easier and better to just give in at launch, before everything broke down hah.

Yeah hopefully Nintendo stops them making it too automatic on the Wii U. I trust the Sonic team after their recent games though.

This sort of suggests Mario 3D won't be a galaxy if you ask me (for variety/uniqueness) but I guess it might be.

Some observations:

What's this orange thing that flies across the screen?

Heh, maybe Tails? Lots of nice catches btw, thanks for the screens.
 
I actually do wonder if the Wisps are going to be implemented the same way as they did in Colors? Maybe it's just the regular Wisp that gives power for a boost meter or something and that's it.

I welcome wisp powers either way, they were a fun addition to Colors.
 
Visually it looks worse than Generations, but if it's truly open world then all is forgiven.

wat? I'd bet it's pretty linear, you know, like the Galaxy games it rips off.

Maybe the backgrounds become more visually pleasing in later levels at least...
 
So with Nintendo, Sonic will live on the galaxy legacy and 3D Mario will return to its 64 roots or be completely something else!
:)
 
Most people probably don't even know what that is though. First thing I thought was Sonic Xtreme myself though, not Mario Galaxy.

True. It was a cancelled and somewhat forgotten title after all.

Though I really hate when people say "ripoff" as if it's a bad thing to have anything remotely similar.
 
Wisps?

WISPS?

WISPS

Why doesn't this game look like this with even more finesse from the WiiU additional power? ugh, so underwhelming. I hope this also isn't the graphical standard we can expect from 3D Mario :/ Even though they will surely have a superior artstyle to what is shown here, but I really just finally want some 1st party games that feel like that they don't belong on the goddamn original Wii. And I'm already sick of waiting. X is probably like 2 years away too :((
