Sega Presser Reveals More Lost World Details
Go Go Gadget Building?
There is one last bit of business to cover from Sega’s end of today’s Sonic Lost World blast, as far as we are aware. In addition to the Sega blog post, the company also issued a formal press release on its main page detailing in precise detail what to expect from the next Sonic.
We’ve relayed the release in full below. Highlights include a gadget building mode for both Wii U and 3DS, where players can share their creations across both devices. Those gadgets can then be picked up by a second player and used to destroy enemies while the first player takes control of Sonic. This sounds fairly similar to how Star Bits work in Super Mario Galaxy, where a second player shoots the bits at the screen to get enemies out of Mario’s way.
Miiverse integration will also be included for the Wii U version, and multiplayer races will be included, not quite unlike Sonic Colors, though plans beyond the form and function of the Sonic Simulator appear planned. The release also touts new Wisp / Color powers.
Take a look and offer your thoughts in the comments. There’s still more to come from our Sonic Lost World coverage today, including first impressions and community reaction.
