Rise Against The Deadly Six

Platforms

Wii U™, Nintendo 3DS™

When the Deadly Six threaten to destroy his world, Sonic's new moves and power-ups are the only way to defeat them before it's too late! 

In his latest plot to defeat Sonic and rule the world, Dr. Eggman has harnessed the power of six menacing creatures known as the Deadly Six. However, when the Deadly Six rise up against their new master, Sonic must unite with his arch nemesis Eggman and explore the mystical Lost Hex in order to take them on head-to-head. Use Sonic's amazing new moves and incredible Color Powers to speed across a variety of unique terrains, racing inside, outside and upside down in every level. 

NEW MOVES
Sonic moves like never before. Vault over obstacles, free run up and along walls, and sky dive between islands at lightning speed. Plus the Spin Dash is back! 

COLOR POWERS 
New and improved Color Powers. Sonic can now fly through the air, tear up levels and explode into enemies. He's more powerful than ever!

NEW WORLD 
Speed through a variety of exhilarating levels. Explore massive mind-bending courses, vast underground tunnels and colossal structures in the sky as you run inside, outside and upside down. 

BOSS BATTLES
Save the world one fight at a time. Take on each of the devious Deadly Six in dynamic boss battles which test all of Sonic's moves and power-ups.

I want to say most of this was posted in the original Sonic Lost World thread.

If its anything like sonic generation this online is only a marker of where your friend is in the stage.

Anyways i dunno about this. I loved Sonic generations 3DS. I am nervous about this 3D gameplay wich i dislike from modern 3D sonic. I will need to see more footage, but im not excited.

It's weird because the 3DS part mentions online mode, while the Wii U part doesn't say anything about online (excluding Miiverse).

MULTIPLAYER  Race friends in high speed multiplayer races. Take them down across a range of ultra-competitive levels and modes - it's the ultimate supersonic showdown!  The top portion is basic for both versions. The exclusive parts is just highlights in certain categories that the other may not have.

EDIT it doesnt say online their either lol

Did they mention anything about gameplay differences though? I mean, are they going to be the same game, just one looks worse? Or is it 2D for the 3DS and 3D for the Wii U?

Am I the only one who thinks that handheld ports of home console games are absolutely pointless, for the most part? The 3DS version will probably end up being vastly inferior, much like Sonic Generations.
