This game has gone from "had my attention" to "inevitable purchase." Now, I just need to see a little more to make it a Day 1. What was shown has really, really impressed me though.
it is, and i dont even like sonic

Finally something that gives me a reason to turn on my Wii U.
Which isn't a bad thing by default, as I wish we did have more games that cited what Mario does so well. I just really wish that they had a bit more in the way of imagination when it comes to some things, execution-wise.
Especially when it comes to the Six. What's next? Eggman reveals that he has a son named "Eggman Jr.", who happens to have one-sided love for Amy?
And no, let's not bring back that one from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, please...
It would be nice if Yasuhara was involved, as I definitely think the level design took a hit as soon as Naka forced him out. And 60fps would be well worth it...
didn't a rumor said that? Sonic LW now and Mario 3D 2014?

Seriously the more I look at it the more I want it. (really wish the video was higher quality though.)
Same.

Um why not? Lost World isn't going to save WiiU. Nintendo needs Mario 3D this holiday.
Probably... Unless 3D Mario is a completely different concept.

I actually like the art style they're going for, but if this is the Wii U version I'm a little worried about what the 3DS one will look like. :\
My optomistic side is telling me that it will look pretty similar because of the simple artstyle...
But my more negative side is telling me it will be WAY dumbed down on the 3DS. I'm fearing 3DS-versions-of-the-LEGO-games bad.

I gotta admit, this is they first time I have actually been excited for a Sonic game since Sonic Adventure. Something about that trailer just screamed fun.
UK:Resistance died so we could see this.

Agreed. I already got sick of waiting for a proper budget Nintendo game and something like X is probably still years away, so I was hoping I'd be blown away by this game just like playing the day stages of Unleashed the first time, or heck, even Colours on the Wii actually surprised me by how good it looked considering the hardware. I thought Sonic Team would get the most out of the Wii U right now, but this looks really underwhelming. Both the graphic quality and the visual style itself are a let down. It might get better later on, but right here the Galaxy look really looks too bland. It worked in Galaxy, but not with the Green Hill patterns. At all :/
Hoping for a Generations-esque platformer after this game and the Olympics. (I know, we should be grateful if we get Sonic games that actually play well, but considering that Sonic Team usually has some stunning visuals to offer...)
Yep!
(unless they plan on releasing it only a few months after reveal)
Eshop means just that you won't need to buy a physical copy of the game, right ?
Pretty sure this is a trailer only thing

Oh fuck me; I just had a thought.
Nintendo and Sega have said that the reason we've never seen a Mario & Sonic platformer is because they wouldn't fit together.
What if... the name Sonic: Lost World is a red herring? A codename? And the upcoming 3D Mario due to be revealed at E3... is this?
It would certainly explain the Wii U exclusivity.
It's a fucking long shot indeed, but one can hope...

A good way to find when someone doesn't know what they're talking about is when they champion the sloppily controlled and poorly designed classic sonic levels of generations over the best interpretation of 3D sonic so far.
Just because it's 2D doesn't mean it's better.

They'll probably Voltron into a white giant monster at the end.

Rather disappointed about the lack of speed in the trailer.
The platform gameplay is interesting and I'm sure the game will still have Sonic's sense of speed. But, I'd like to have seen a segment of him going blistering fast at the very end.

This is Panic Nintendo we're talking about here, BY2K. Do not underestimate Panic Nintendo.

Waiting to see more, but I'm optimistic.
Been awhile since I've done a mainline Sonic game, so I might jump in.

The six crystals on the outside are the Bosses we see pictured, and there is presumably a final boss who is white in color.

What the hell are you talking about? I do not understand how you get the idea that this is a red herring now that we've actually seen footage.
I mean, but, yeah, I'd be pumped for a Mario x Sonic platforming crossover.
If this game has you excited, don't forget amazon has a huge sonic bundle (steam) for $9.99 currently. To tide you over

So this should be one of the playable demos at Best Buy, right? Can't wait to give it a try.
