Be Excellent To Each Other

Nintendo has entered into partnership with Sega for a brand new Sonic game exclusively for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

The game, titled 'Sonic: Lost World', was revealed on the Nintendo Direct webcast, where company president Satoru Iwata described it as an "action adventure platforming game."

A single screenshot was shown during the presentation, but Nintendo has said more gameplay details and information on the title will be released ahead of E3 2013 on June 11.

"We're delighted to be forming this new partnership with SEGA, and bringing new games in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise to Nintendo systems," said Laurent Fischer, MD of European marketing and PR. "We hope fans are as excited as we are when more details will be shown closer to E3."

Sega said in a statement: "Sega have chosen to exclusively partner with Nintendo to distribute or publish the next three Sonic the Hedgehog titles throughout Europe and Australia.

"The deal will cover the recently announced Sonic Lost World, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games plus one other to-be-revealed title.

"This is a strategic partnership that does not affect our existing distribution network across these territories and with whom we are looking forward to working with on the upcoming releases ofTotal War: Rome II and Company of Heroes 2."

Announced at the Nintendo press event today - the next 3 sonic games Sonic lost world / Sonic & Mario at the winter Olympics + 1 more title are only on Nintendo.
