First Sonic: Lost World gameplay trailer released

Wii U-exclusive 3D platformer takes cues from Super Mario Galaxy

Nintendo and Sega have released the first gameplay trailer for the recently-announced Wii U exclusive, Sonic: Lost World.

Lost World was revealed via a recent Nintendo Direct webcast, where company president Satoru Iwata described it as an "action adventure platforming game."
The video showcases the first glimpses of in-game footage, showing a 3D platformer that appears to take cues from Nintendo's much-loved Super Mario Galaxy series, with Sonic running around the outside of floating cylindrical islands.

The new Sonic game comes as part of a new agreement with Sega that, the publisher says, will "make Nintendo consoles the number one destination for Sonic gaming over the next three titles".

Jurgen Post, the chief operating officer at Sega Europe, said Sonic the Hedgehog "has performed incredibly well on Nintendo platforms and this exclusive partnership is a natural fit for the next evolution of Sonic games".
