Sega showed off a new trailer for the upcoming Sonic Lost World on the Nintendo Direct stream earlier today and guess what? Not only is this a 3D Sonic title that doesn’t look terrible, it’s also a 3D Sonic title that is somehow managing to make Sonic Colours and Sonic Generations rather lifeless by comparison… AND I actually liked those games.
Sonic Lost Galaxy as all my friends are calling it ditches the “boost to win” mechanic of previous games does it’s own thing. Yeah it looks like Super Mario Galaxy but not exactly THAT close to Mario like the internet would have you believe.
- 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!
- Execute new and improved Colour Powers. Sonic can now fly through the air, tear up levels and explode into enemies. He’s more powerful than ever!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
Sonic Lost World will be available from October 18th in Europe and October 22nd in North America. There’s also a 3DS version launching on the same day and that too looks much better than the previous Sonic game on 3DS.
