Nintendo Announces Sonic: Lost World

Update: Nintendo has announced it has entered an exclusive worldwide partnership with SEGA to produce Sonic games, the first of which will be Sonic: Lost World.

Nothing was revealed about the game other than a screenshot and the fact that it'll be an action-adventure platforming game for both Wii U and 3DS.

More details will be coming prior to E3. Original story follows.

Original Story: SEGA has trademarked "Sonic Lost World" leading to speculation that this will be the title of the next game in the franchise.

Originally spotted by Siliconera, the trademark was filed yesterday by SEGA for use with video games, though it currently only covers Europe.

There's been a fair few rumours lately that the next Sonic the Hedgehog game is already well into development and targeted for a November release, but this is all supposition.

We reached out to SEGA for information on the subject but were told "no comment". In the meantime, be sure to let us know what you'd like to see in the next Sonic game in the comments below. (Hint: with a title like this, omitting dinosaurs would be a crime).
