Sega has announced a new promotion for Sonic Lost World on their blog. Gamers who pre-order the Wii U version from Amazon.com will receive free downloadable content that will net them an extra 25 lives in the game. The special promotion is only available in North America while supplies last.
Sonic Lost World was a hot topic of today’s Nintendo Direct, with a new trailer being released for the occasion, featuring Sonic’s new power-ups as well as his latest enemies, The Deadly Six. Sonic Lost World is set for release in North America on October 29th.
Possibly the worst pre-order bonus ever.
I was just about to say that haha. I could get 25 lives in 20 mins :P
DelayTendo just greedy.
Thats all they could think of?
Well.. there’s the deadly six DLC included with bosses from Nights. What else did you expect?
More games this year…Wii Delay U-Games! Please understand
hahahahhahahahahhhh
I’m sure Lost World won’t be that hard
Great! 25 Extra lives! That will be a great addition to the 200+ I will get in Sonic Galaxy!

This bonus is absolutely pathetic. Possibly the worst I’ve ever heard of.
To be fair, you had to pay for lives in arcade games with coins, remember that?
Sonic Lost World is going to awesome.
???
What kind of bonus is that?
I wish they did Digital Pre-Order Bonus
Yay if I pre-order the game I get a handicap
Damn, this will actually prevent some players from pre-ordering from them.
Completely agreed. This is the stupidest thing, I don’t want this, it’ll feel like i’m cheating.
Wow how generous.
……maybe “25 Lives” is the name of a bonus stage?
Eh. The Deadly Six Bonus Edition was enough of a motivation to preorder. This was just… an extra dip of icing?
HAHAHAHHAHA that’s fucking funny.
That’s BS. I don’t care about how many lives I have. Games these days are too easy.
Americans needs them to be easier.
So does Japanese apparently…
Modern games shouldn’t even have lives anyway. There’s essentially no punishment for game overs. The lives system was designed to add lifespan to a game. Games used to be only about an hour to two hours long if you beat them, but the idea was that if you ran out of lives you got a game over, and you’d go back. You had to run through the game without getting a game over. These days there’s a save function – if you sent modern gamers back to the beginning they’d cry like babies. Game overs are just a minor waste of time, and nothing more. Get rid of lives from games, and as for lives in preorders? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha basically.
