Sonic Lost World Video Game for the Nintendo #WiiU! @Sega #SonictheHedgehog

Sonic Lost World™ once again finds Sonic’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman, plotting an evil plan to rule the world. This time, Dr. Eggman has harnessed the power of six menacing creatures collectively known as the Deadly Six. However, when the Deadly Six rise up against their new master, Sonic and Tails have to unite with his rival in order to take the new enemies head-on. The action takes players to an immersive 3D world in the sky where they will help Sonic battle the rogue gallery of baddies across an array of bright and colorfully themed zones. Each exhilarating area presents its own unique set of varied gameplay missions where players will collect rings, rescue helpless critters and defeat menacing bosses to move to the next level.

The range of Sonic Lost World terrains – from Windy Hill to Lava Mountain – will have players running inside, outside and upside down as they explore massive mind-bending courses, vast underground tunnels and colossal structures in the sky.

To conquer this wide range of environments and defeat the Deadly Six, gamers are equipped with Sonic’s blistering speed and an array of dynamic new skills including:
-Original Moves: Sonic moves like never before. Vault over obstacles, free run up and along walls and sky dive between islands at lightning speed. Plus the Spin Dash is back!
-Improved Color Powers: Sonic can now fly through the air, tear up levels and explode into enemies.

Our new console is the Wii U and we are loving it, it enhances the Sonic gameplay:

• Wii U™ GamePad Controller functionality – Wii U exclusive Color Powers can be controlled with the  GamePad by tilting, touching, and aiming the controller.  The full game can also be played using only the GamePad screen and will feature a two-player support mode.
• Helpful hand from friends and others – Players will be able to have a friend lend a hand via the game’s co-op feature; meanwhile, players can also get help from other players through a feature that enables a range of players to send items from their inventory out into Miiverse™ where they can be picked up and used by any other player.

This is the first game my son played on the Wii U and he loved it. He has been a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog for years. I don’t even know how it started, with a video game at first, or with the TV show. Needless to say we have 10 Sonic DVD’s and many Sonic video games. I remember every Friday we would stop at GameStop to celebrate the end of the school week and play Sonic games on their consoles, we either raced against each other, or if I recall, Sonic was trying to get around Greece for awhile! It’s great to have a choice of consoles at home now so, even though it is fun to play video games at the store, playing in the comfort of your own home, is much better. Also, my son does not pose for me when I take pictures, you can see above he was totally immersed in this new Sonic game, playing on his couch at his desk!

And I remember the Dr. Eggman from the TV shows that I watched with my son! I do not remember seeing him in past video games, but I can tell you bringing this iconic Sonic villain into the game play is long overdue, my son has always wanted to go up against the Dr. Eggman!

There are hours and hours of gameplay with the deadly six involved, hours of fun for the kids, and personally I am happy for a break from Sonic and Mario at the Olympics!
