Never heard of NST before? NST in an acronym for Nintendo Software Technology, a Nintendo developer founded in 1998 to make games for the western audience, but lately they have been making Mario vs. Donkey Kong games. Such a shame.
But if my theory is right, they might just be the one making the next 3D Sonic game! You see, in 2012 one of the three creators of Sonic joined NST! I'm speaking of Hirokazu Yasuhara, and he's not only a former creator of sonic, he has also worked on Jak and Daxter, not to mention Uncharted. Seems rather likely to me that they started making Sonic LW in 2012, which should fit nicely with this. I do not doubt that other teams, more specificly the galaxy team will be in front of this game too.
What do you think?

PS: NST have also been making other games like the legend of zelda master quest/collectors edition, metroid prime hunters and 1080 avalance.
