Nintendo and Sega's Sonic Partnership is a Three Game Deal - News
by Brent Galietti , posted on 17 May 2013 / 4,874 ViewsNintendo surprised many when they announced that Sonic: Lost World would be an exclusive title for the 3DS and Wii U. In addition to the latest Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games title, that's two Nintendo exclusives for the Blue Blur, and according to a press release from Sega, there will be one more title in this temporary alliance.
“Sonic the Hedgehog has proven incredibly successful on Nintendo platforms and we are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Nintendo,” said Preisdent & COO of Sega of America, John Cheng. “As we initiate this new exclusive partnership with the next three titles we believe that Wii U™ and Nintendo 3DS™ are ideal platforms to showcase the evolution of the Sonic brand.”
Not much is known about Sonic: Lost World, other than the one still shot of Sonic flying to a strange hexagonal world from the Nintendo Direct presentation. As for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, that likely will be what everyone expects.
But what about the final game? What does this partnership have in store for us? A new Sonic Colors? Sonic R? Sonic Shuffle? Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine? So many possibilities!
