Sonic producer Takashi Iizuka has explained that Sonic Team have tried their hardest to get the same feel for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions of Sonic Lost World. Iizuka says that it wasn’t an easy task for the development team, but they kept cutting things back on the Nintendo 3DS to get that particular version looking like the Wii U. Iizuka says their main aim was to make consumers unable to tell which version is which.
“In Colours and Generations the focus was a side-scrolling game. If you look at Lost World, the main concept is a cylindrical world, so it didn’t make sense to do a side view. The 3DS’s extra power makes it the sort of place 3D can be used really well. Even though it’s power powerful than a DS, it still has its limits. It wasn’t easy to get the same levels, but we kept cutting things back until we could get it so that if you looked at it – in a trailer, say – you couldn’t tell which was which. We tried to get the same feel for Wii U and 3DS.”
Don’t worry iizuka, the way you are marketing this game seems like it’ll get 10/10, on every site, but in the end it’ll just be another w101…a dissapointment
Whaaaaaaaaaaatttttt How was Wonderful 101 a disappointment? I want that game so much!!
Obviously you haven’t played it, i have, and it’s meh
Yeah, but why?
(And yeah, I haven’t played it, though I have played the demo like, 3 times.)
It’s an awesome game, it really is.
That’s what I’ve heard- probably will get it or Wind Waker HD if I get Christmas money. :p
I guess you can’t go wrong with either of em.
You people obviously don’t read reviews, and when te game you wanna love gets a low score, you ignore them, but when it gets a good score, good lore, you’ll talk about that shit for ages
I don’t care. I don’t need other people to tell me that I enjoyed the game. If I enjoyed the game, I enjoyed the game. And I really loved the demo and everything I’ve seen so far.
Plus, why do you care if I want it?
Good man.
why would real gamers look at reviews? look at GTA V fantards. people should know better then to trust the game ratings.
Gta 5 fantards are no better then you morons…remember the skyward sword debacle????
Most Nintendo fans on here brag about reviews, and brag about the “metacritic” score.
It has like a 79 on Metacritic. That’s not amazing, but that’s a solid, good score.
kill dat hedgehog!
boo sonic boo!!! somebody drawn him!
ment drowned him :p
I bought W101 and I’ll tell you how the game is once I play it.

Yeah and this surely is considered as “master piece” since it was marketed well, get your head out of ass fanboy, Lost World is Sonic game that people are excited about and have been waiting for.
Your point?
Sonic unleashed wasn’t bad… even the werehog wasn’t THAT bad when you compare it to other games in the market.
Haha
…
This is the Sonic game i have been waiting for after the Dreamcast days. OMG Sony and Microsoft dont get Sonic Lost World like Nintendo doesnt get GtaV OMG they are all dooomed!!!! Fuck YOU ALL FANBOYS AND PIECE OF SHIT CRYBABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This sort of gives the impression that they watered down the Wii U version so it could be put on the 3DS…
Mainly like a watered down Wii ports of PS3/360 games.
That doesn’t even make any sense. Grammatically and conceptually. Lol.
fuck you sonic!
sonic sucks sonic sucks
The 3DS is not nearly as powerful as the Wii U. How else are they supposed to get the game to run on the handheld?
Ill get this game for my nephew since he loves sonic. Im sure there will even be eshop demos to test them out
If only Wii U had online multiplayer and 3DS connectivity with its portable port, I’ll buy both.
If not, which version would you get?
Sometime Side-scrolling is a good thing. Either way, I hope this game is good.
I do too. Sonic has enough crap for one franchise.
But it’s sonic! How can you not love that blue spiky head critter!
keep your dirty secrets to yourself!
No!!! :)
Don’t you like secrets? :P
It’s modern Sonic I don’y like.
modern sonic looks retarded, what is he a barbie???
wat are you being serious? pretty much every modern sonic game tops the old genesis games
You are like me then. Original, original, original!
What I meant was classic. lol
day one for me….i am getting both versions
After the Monster Hunter 4, three million plus sold in 3 days, Nintendo is making money without even trying. So much so that they can afford to take all their marketing resources towards the WiiU. The 3DS shall market itself, Sonic 3D world then Pokemon. It was nice of Sony to make their Vita into a home console and PS4 controller. There is no competition for the 3DS, only competition will be the 2DS. Sonic finally becomes the blur he once was :).

I wonder if the 2DS can handle it?! (I have a 3DS, btw)
Wow, third parties that are not lazy, EA, take note! ‘What? We have to put more than minimal effort into a quick port!?’
Ya no puedo esperar mas
yeah you know what, maybe call it a different name, not the same, ever thought of that?? it would sell more. if its unnoticeable it should be called something else.
I won’t be touching the 3DS version, Wii U version will be superior, I’ll see if that can win me over.
They should just make classic sonic games, modern sonic is so fucking annoying or just make him and his stupid friends stop talking.
How are they supposed to make classic Sonic games? Time machine?
But I agree, lately Sonic has been soooo annoying. But it looks as if they’ve changed that a bit in this one?
Yet there was a whole demo video where Sonic was side-scrolling. Make up your mind!
There should be different versions for two platforms so the weaker platform’s edition doesn’t feel like a watered down version of the stronger platform’s edition! They should each form their own unique genius, like Apartheid, in that way… and no other ways at all.
IIZUKA BRO i GOT YO BACK DAWG. YOu KNO WE Be TiGHT. YO CHILL MY NIGA U NO DES MOFO BASMENT DWELLA CRAKA AHZZ LOSAS STILL GUNA BUY IT
OMG Iizuka! Are you ok, honey? Just take it easy, sweety, and try meditation. Nothing relaxes you like Chai Tea and meditation. Repeat after: “Mmmmmmm…honey…”
Ay ay ay! Dios mio! No me gusta! Virgensita use tu poderez to helpa Iizuka!

I bought both console and handheld versions of Colors and Generations for the reason that they were different games. If they’re the same, then there’s no incentive to own both.
