Sonic Lost World for 3DS - not a port .... gameplay inside.

I figure this deserves a dedicated thread here.

From IGN E3 2013: Exploring Sonic Lost World

But enough about the Wii U version let's dig into the 3DS edition of Sonic Lost World for a bit. As we revealed last time, the approach for this game is to not just push Sonic's latest adventure into 2D form, but to fully embrace 3D levels as appropriate. As in the past, Sonic Team is turning to DIMPS for development of the title. Iizuka stressed to us that the 3DS version is "not a port from the Wii U version" but features "totally new level design to match the screen size and hardware so players can enjoy both versions with a fresh feeling."

How amazing is this going to look in 3d:

This is exactly the kind of dimensional platforming I've been wanting more of on the 3ds.

There's also sidescrolling gameplay:

looks kind of like mario galaxy meets sonic...cool :) but yeah they do need to tighten it up, but they got plenty of time for that.

I hope they have time to tighten it up. Still looks quite roughNuck81

looks fine to me.  I think I saw some texture pop in, but nothing of much significance.  It already looks better than the last 3DS Sonic. 

looks pretty amazing but I would like to see some off screen footage to see how it would like on the XL

It's looks more like Mario 3D land mixed with sonic than it does Mario Galaxy mixed with sonic

Really excited for this, finally a proper 3D platformer!

Raise your standards, even if it is a Sonic game.

I'm getting it for the 3d platforming.  The sidescrolling is just a bonus.

Same here, I hope it has more than one good level. Loved the Green Hill stage in Generations.

I have a firm eye on this it looks alot similar to how Super Mario Land 3DS played and thats not a bad thing.

That is one beautiful game.

Been a while since I've looked forward to a 3DS game, hope it's as good as it looks.

To me it looks like Mario 3D land with Sonic. 

I honestly didn't realise they were 3DS vids when I first saw them. I just thought I was looking at the Wii U game with some compression artefacts. Honestly looks great. The fact that it is a whole new game is making me seriously consider getting both of them...well, after I buy the systems the games are coming out on.Articuno76

yeah.  I really had to check to be sure it was 3DS.  The fact that it's not an inferior handheld port means I'll have no hesitation in picking it up.

Sonic Lost World WiiU adds to the list of titles persuading me to pick up that console.  Still hasn't reached tipping point though.

Sega oughta do this right and they might make some serious dough.

yeah, Sonic games do well on Nintendo platforms, so they stand a good chance. 

Although I think they could do substantially better if they kept a higher standard and maintained some consistency.  Today even the most successful Sonic games only do a small fraction of the kind of business Mario does.  For every bad game they make they loose customers and the next game does that much worse.    But if they can build on their recent successes things could be very different.

Looking at the first video gave me hope for a mario galaxy remake for the 3dsvoljin1987

They'd have to find a way to use star bits, I guess they could also scrap them.
