Seems like Nintendo are trying to once again bring the fight back to it’s competitors by bringing out the big guns against Microsoft and Sony. The next game in SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog series will be exclusive to Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with Nintendo President Satoru Iwata announcing details of a worldwide partnership with SEGA during a new Nintendo Direct video announcement today. Sonic Lost World is a new action-adventure platforming game, and more information about it will be announced before the E3 2013 video game trade show begins on 11th June, which i know everyone is very excited about.
The Nintendo Direct also announced a new addition to the Mario & Sonic series, the first appearance for the series on Wii U and will be called Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. The game includes a variety of sports including curling, skiing, snowboarding, figure skating pairs and snowboard slopestyle. Different events might use the Wii Remote Plus controller, Wii U GamePad or both. In addition to realistic events, the game also includes those set in the worlds of Sonic and Mario that let players perform moves not possible in real life (like most games out lately). Launch details and timing will be announced at a later date. s well as revealing launch dates for the highly anticipated Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101 and New Super Luigi U which should be really cool to play.
“We’re delighted to be forming this new partnership with SEGA, and bringing new games in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise to Nintendo systems,” said Laurent Fischer, Managing Director of European Marketing and PR at Nintendo of Europe. “We hope fans are as excited as we are when more details will be shown closer to E3.”
