Looks as though Sonic Lost World didn’t perform quite as badly as some expected, despite a few low scores from a number of review publications out there. Sega says that Sonic Lost World for both the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS shipped 640,000 units combined worldwide as of December 31st. Sega claims that sales were low due to the harsh market environment.

    1. It did sell horribly you fucking dumb ass. This number is merely the number of copies shipped to stores and retailers! It’s fucking pathetic! It didn’t even sell half of what was shipped out!

        1. How are you doing you fucking sonic cock sucker? Enjoying sucking on sonics limp dick? How about you offer a rebuttal for the facts presented? Oh wait! You’re a fanboy! You ignore facts! Your fucking pathetic! While you’re at it suck my dick too!

            1. “You keep to amuse me” learn to fucking write sentences before you reply to me. A sonic fan is unfit to speak to me. Just suck my dick and get out of my sight. How was that Sonic cock?

                1. “You amuse to keep me” Do you even know English Sonic cock sucker? You are unfit to direct messages towards me. As I said before get out of my sight. Sonic fans are the scum of video game fanatics, they are akin to creationists. You’re delusional and when evidence is presented you shamelessly ignore it. Go back to sucking Sega’s ass chunks.

                  1. Jesus man. Life isn’t that serious. Calm down. Have a beer. Relax and enjoy your self.

                    You must have some real issues to get so abusive over a shitty game franchise that didn’t sell.

        1. It’s not a matter of opinions, it is a fact that the level design was an atrocious and jumbled mess, the bosses are utterly horrendous, the game is very short, I actually beat it in 4 hours. And what’s worse is that it leaves a bad taste making you never want to go back and do the painfully tedious task of collecting all of the red rings which are placed in places almost impossible to find. It’s just a fucking broken game! Anyone that thinks otherwise is like a creationist ignoring scientific evidence! Your a delusional fanatic!

      1. If you play sonic games, that means you know absolutely nothing about video games, much less good video games. Go back to sucking Segas ass hole.

        1. hahahahahahahahahhahahahaha
          that’s gotta be the most idiotic try to make a rant/insult someone
          hahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha

          ahahahahahaha

          cough,cough,cough,

          ahh

          OMG, you really are desperate for attention
          you had to make one of the worst insults on the entire gaming history
          you really should stop living on the 90s
          ok, comedy time’s over.
          Seriosly, you made me laugh so much
          keep up the good work

    1. Nope, can’t comment on the 3DS version but the WiiU version was quite alright. Not as good as Generations but still fun to play all the same.

  1. I actually quite enjoy Lost World U. I am not a huge Sonic fan so I may have different expectations than other people but I find theg ame to be qutie nice to play, great visual design, cool music (LOVE Desert Ruins 1) and solid gameplay.
    I did buy the game a little late so I don’t know how it was before the patches got released though but the patchfixed version is qutie good :)

    1. It’s probably best you’re not a huge Sonic fan. A lot of the major fans seem to have this issue with each new sonic game not being the exact same as the originals.

        1. I didn’t mean every Sonic fan. I consider myself a Sonic fan. It just seems like there’s this number of fans who just won’t be happy with anything that’s not the originals. And whenever a new game is announced they start their never ending complaints of something they’ve never played.

            1. The genwunners bsrely have a voice when compared to the ENTIRETY of the Pokemon fanbase.

              Sonic on the other hand has a much smaller fansbase with a greater amount of “rabid” fans who are not gappy no matter what.

              Genwunners are like going extinct lol (not because they are dying) because they are too old or don’t care anymore to complain :P

            2. Funniest part is gen 1 had some of the worst pokemon to date. Jynx, arbok, ekans, grimer, and muk to name a few. They even trie to dog out gen 5 when that was essentially a new gen 1. GF tried to appeal to everyone with gen 5 but the naysayers will always complain. I for one welcome their creativity an hope to see many more generation of Pokemon. Hopefully we will get that hybrid console next generation, sowe can get a portable/home console pokemon game that GF deserves to make.

                1. My favorite ones were gen 3 because of the whole “humans can never truly control nature” vibe about it, gen 4 because of the “humans can never truly control space or time” vibe to it, and gen 5 because of the split between nature and industrialization (I got White because of nature). Gens 1 and 2 were just about Team Rocket, and the story could have been a lot darker and more in-depth but they had to dumb it down for kids, even gen 6’s had to be dumbed down for kids, and that one was about war. The three gen in the middle seemed to me like GF was tryin to mov to a more mature setting. Even the main characters were supposed to be older in gen 5.

      1. I am a huge Sonic fan and I am super glad they made the changes to Sonic Boom.

        I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Sonic NEEDS this. It’s also a plus when the game looks and smells sooooo gooood ;)

  2. I guess I’m “kinda” glad they sold well, but the games pretty much suck… Which is why I’m on te fence.

    I don’t know if it is a good thing the developers “got away” with selling a crap game decently…

    oh well, not my problem. They are coming out with Sonic Boom and that’s all that matters!!!! Sonic Boom will, without a doubt, be much better than Lost World.

    So happy.

  3. SONIC LW for 3DS was such a great game.
    It is my personal recommendation for any 3DS owner out there.

    Somehow it felt closer to the Genesis era. A true evolution from the 16-bit games
    … More than Sonic 4,at least.

    1. The controls were terrible. It was the game’s greatest drawback. It never felt right, it was hard to get Sonic to do what you want, his jumping seemed off, they made it too complicated with multiple ways to attack enemies.

      Basically whoever did Sonic Lost World’s controlls did a piss poor job and ruined the game. The story was pretty stupid, but I accepted it, because it’s a kids game. The graphics were fairly nice actually though even those could have been better.

      Some levels were BEYOND cheap. I would say to myself “why did the developers stick this in? It’s dreadful!”

      Also, you can’t say the game is “really hard” and “for kids” in the same sentence. If Sonic Lost World was “supposed” to be so “hard” then they should have had a story more inclined to an older audience.

  4. Loved the game, it was the first Sonic that felt like a proper platformer since Adventure, and the first one that wasn’t a super glitchfest since Sonic 1. Maybe I just love the platforming genre a little too much, but I was not a fan of the super speedy Unleashed style gameplay, so I hope the lost world controls stick around. They just need to make his turning a little less stiff.
