The SEGA Blog has unveiled the box art and revealed more information for the Wii U and 3DS releases of Sonic Lost World. According to the SEGA Blog, the plot is as follows:
Dr. Eggman has harnessed the power of six menacing creatures collectively known as the Deadly Six, but when the Deadly Six rise up against their master, Sonic has to unite with his arch nemesis in order to take on the new enemies head-on. Using his dynamic new parkour moves and improved Color Powers, Sonic must run, jump and race through a variety of ever-changing terrains in order to defeat the Deadly Six.
SEGA also mentions that the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions will contain competitive multiplayer modes and “distinctive features that take advantage of the consoles’ unique capabilities”. Like Sonic Colors, both the console and handheld version will have their own exclusive color powers. The Wii U version will be completely playable from the GamePad screen and will feature two player support mode, color powers will be controlled via a variety of ways including tilting and touch screen controls. The 3DS version will feature fully 3D levels, exclusive special stages, and the aforementioned exclusive color powers.
So, Sonic and Eggman team up? Reminds me of Sonic Adventure 2. After the break, check out the Wii U box art. UPDATE: Also after the break, a full press release featuring a few new details including a gadget building mode that allows players to share content between the Wii U and 3DS versions.

That Wii U boxart. Oh god
Love it or hate it?
Haha I love it obviously. Its gonna look great on my shelves or whenever I pick it up to remove or insert the disc 😀
Besides the tacky-as-hell bosses, this game looks great.
Still unsure if they are bosses, we’ve seen more images of giant badnik bosses than these guys at work.
The press release you posted confirms that they’re bosses. :V
I wrote that before seeing the press release!!! :<
If things couldnt get any better. there’s now now a multiplayer as well???? That’s it man, just stop already!
Hmm…Wii U or 3DS, then…
I think maybe. . .that texture detail on sonic needs to go. It’s kind of freaking me out these days.
Ehh. Not liking Sonic’s “wholesome” smile instead of his more mischievious one, but oh well. It’s only boxart I guess.
I will buy both versions 😉
Hahahaha! Oh wow…Sonic’s been slipped slightly to the left to make it look as though he’s at an angle but the effect fails simple from the “Deadly Six”.
Also, “Deadly Six” sounds like the UK show “Deadly 60!” XD
Yet another wrong decision for Sega to take with their most prized IP mascot, why on earth would they make it Nintendo exclusive for not one, not two but three whole games?
It’s another example of Sega going in circles again, when they have some big successes, they bugger it all up again by doing shit like this.
We don’t buy Sonic games to play on Nintendo’s nor vice versa, and the Wii U is hardly a safe bet for Sega to be putting two of it’s best IP’s on exclusively, Sonic and now the Yakuza 1&2 re-releases in HD.
I wish Sega would stop doing this every time Nintendo releases a new piece of hardware.
Even now, it still feels a bit weird playing Sonic on Nintendo machines, lol.
Either way, it would have been far better on a true Next Gen system, like the PS4 or new Xbox One.
