SEGA also made another announcement yesterday, a surprising partnership with an old rival - Nintendo. SEGA said they will be releasing the next three Sonic titles exclusively for Nintendo platforms. The first game, Sonic Lost World, is scheduled to be released on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS later this year. The second title is the upcoming fourth entry to the Mario & Sonic at the Olympics Games series which has not yet been dated. The third game has yet to be revealed.
"With 'Sonic Lost World,' we're going to introduce new gameplay and enemies, which is always fun," said John Cheng, president and chief operating officer of Sega of America Inc., in an article appearing on Yahoo. "In terms of Sonic and his friends, he'll have his same friends there, and I think there'll be some new ones as well. It's not a reiteration. It's going to be all new."
