The partnership between Nintendo and Sega granting the former exclusive publishing rights for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise covers the next three titles in the series, one of which is still unannounced, Sega confirmed to Polygon.

The agreement was announced today in a Nintendo Direct presentation and will bring the next three Sonic the Hedgehog games exclusively to Nintendo's Wii U and 3DS.

The first two titles, Sonic: Lost World and Mario and Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games, were announced in the same presentation today. More details on these games will be released in the coming weeks.

When reached for comment on the third unannounced title, a representative for Sega declined to provide more details.

Hopefully this gives people a better idea what this partnership actually entails.

cool stuff!

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

It will be interesting to see if this turns into a larger agreement or if it stays as a 3 title one.

This new 3D sonic game definitely has me interested, but it's really just my fanboy side talking (I've always been a sucker for Sonic). Hopefully the game turns out great. =)

Lame...Mario and Sonic was one of the three exclusive titles? It should of been a separate title ~.~

Wish it was a trilogy - The Sonic Lost World series , would be awesome.

Anyways I wonder what the third title is? Sonic Adventure 3....would be epic!

I agree, what other platform would a Mario & Sonic game be on? o.O

@Maris No I was hoping for another game - not a Olympics game T_T

That's what I mean, why waste a spot for a Mario & Sonic game, since those are never gonna be on anything but Nintendo anyway! xD
