This is legitimately Mario Galaxy in a new skin, I can see it all forming a shape now. I can see so many ideas from Galaxy going into this game. Good thing they acknowledged the frustrating motion ball controls in Galaxy 2, and changed it to analog.
since zor can make shadow clones, on the clip where it shows the deadly six betraying eggman(part 4 of ur analysis) u can see 3 of the deadly six black so did zor make three of them clones meanwhile there doing something else or does it mean something else plz answer gamexplain
the Background in some of the NIGHTS boss fights bear a striking resemblance to the background in which the player fights the time eater in generations. Of course this could be from Nights, but I've never played it.
One of the games developers said (in a different interview for this title) that the 3ds version of this game was created by a separate team of developers from the Wii. There will of course be similarities but they wont at all be the same game. The store-line will be the same but stages and game play will differ.
I saw a sceenshot on Sonic News Network of Sonic Lost World, and that object was in the sky in nighttime theme of Windy Hill. Trust me, go to Sonic News Network, there was also a sceenshot of Sonic chasing Zazz, so the fight might have Sonic dodging Zazz until he can get behind him to strike
The Wii U version of "Sonic Lost World" is the only one with the "Deadly Six Edition" right? There's no "Deadly Six Edition" for the 3DS version as of now, correct?
I'm not doing that. I'm just commenting. I'll give you an upvote. Just because we criticize doesn't mean something it what we call it. Fact is, if a video game performs it's purpose, to be fun, thumbs up. If it has a good storyline, great. If it's want we desire and changes the gaming world, it's beyond beautiful. Shadow performed it's first role pretty well.
I think the stars might be the usefullnes OR if theyve been powered up since I remeber hearing something in one of the analysis in where you sadi that items can be shared trought the 3ds to the wii u and can be powered up so it might be that
Sonic will be on 3DS and Wii U. Well, you can still cancel your Wii U preorder, or keep it to play other great games, such as Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Sonic (in case you don't buy it for 3DS), Donkey Kong, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Brothers, Zelda Wind Waker, Bayonetta 2, Mario 3D World and let's not forget the new Project by Monolith Soft and the next big new Zelda that will come to Wii U. I just preordered my Zelda Wii U with Wind Waker and I have a long list of games I want to play. =)
I just checked back on all the analysis vids, and I noticed that you guys haven't mentioned that the bounce attack appears to be back. I've seen it used in several gameplay demos and was wondering if you guys had noticed it yet.
And at 6:23 you can see the back wisp bomb ability that sonic has is only 3 stars and both of the ones that you can take (that has the wisp next to them) have 4 stars meaning they miht be able to get powered up
What I think about 4:55 is that each time one of the owls spots you another shadow clone will appear. I'm also guessing the clones will probably chase you around acting as your shadow until you hit the real Zor.
You run around as Shadow, fighting baddies, collecting rings, running through loop-de-loops, with all of the other Sonic characters, continuing a story that started in Sonic heroes. Just because you play as Shadow, it doesn't mean its not a Sonic game.
I'm sorry to here that. I had fun. I didn't like that the camera glitched but it was pretty fun. I look pass the flaws of video games. They're not meant to be perfect. The only Sonic game that ever gone me mad was Sonic and Knuckles because I hated Knuckles at the time. Shadow to me, is not suppose to have an expanded background. In Adventure 2, we know he was meant to be used to save that little girl, but it didn't happen. He's cool and the ultimate life form. That's all we need to know.
There's been a screenshot. And besides the Wisp trailer didn't necessarily confirm all of them (heck as we can see from here it didn't confirm the Bomb Wisp).
On the subject of Knuckles, he may have been tricked by either Eggman or the deadly six. In M&S London 2012 Oylmpics 3DS, Knuckles was tricked by Kamek, Dry Bones, and Latiku to battle Bowser, indicating that he may be tricked. Examples: Sonic 3, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Advance 2, his counterpart Gawain in Black Knight, and Sonic Colors DS.
Okay I guess those pictures of the Red Wisp revealed in the Famitsu article and all the Wisp Powers we already have in the game that weren't revealed in the Colour Powers trailer either don't count as "proof" We already have three returning Wisps and six new ones, one we know is in both versions, two we've only seen in the 3DS version, two we've only seen in the Wii U version, and one that is only obtainable through Miiverse and never appears in-game
2:58-3:34, you forgot to talk about the rings that stick to the snowball Sonic is trapped in when it touches them. Maybe when the rings are squished by the snowball, they stick. Weird, huh.
No, I don't think they're not Sonic games. I just don't want to consider them when it comes to the franchise. If you ask me "did you like Sonic Adventure 3?", instead of replying "I fucking hate Sonic '06", I would reply "Adventure 3 isn't out...dude". You probably know where I'm going with this. But yeah, I agree. THIS is the right track, hopefully Sonic Team doesn't fall off it.
It seems that the 3ds version will have at least 3 acts because the latest nintendo direct shows footage of a desert ruins level. Then I find that act 1 and 2 don't show any of the level in the Nintendo direct, so it must be a different level
Andre, there's something that I've found that is interesting. In the Japanese version, Zor stated that he thinks of him and Sonic similar. I wonder what that means...
I spend 65 dollars on Chronoblade. 20 on a pre-owned Shadow. 20 - 40 on Heroes, Chrono Trigger, Jak and Dexter Collection, Yoshi's Island, Kirby's Return and many more. My uncle gave me the whole disc set of Legend of Dragoon for free because he hates RPGs. I expect a good storyline for movies. Lyrically greatness from songs, and entertainment from games. Who are we to call a game bad? Do we make them? The purpose of video games will never change, even with the evolution of the them.
Well, while that's true, I do enjoy to see a few games with my favorite characters in them, if only just to prove the world remembers them. I mean, it's not like I'll ever get to play a new Conker's Bad Fur Day sequel, or another Banjo game, but I still tried my hardest to enjoy games like Nuts & Bolts and Paper Mario: Sticker Star, because I couldn't bring myself to dislike a game in those series. Maybe it caused more harm than good though.
I really don't care about the feedback from players, I look at everything with facts, and provide examples explaining exactly why it is what it is. I could care less if people don't want to think of Smash as a fighting game, the fact is; it IS a fighting game by genre. That's the story.
Knuckles and Amy could've saw Eggman's ship (or whatever the hell he was flying) flying towards Lost Hex and have decided to follow him to try to stop him on their own, I don't know, could be dead wrong but my theory seems to make sense to me, we'll just have to see how the story plays out I guess :)
Just a thought but maybe if the wisps are in this and the deadly six can use telekinesis then they could control the wisps and make more versions of nega wisps
Still waiting for Amazon at my place to add that Deadly Six Bonus Edition. The game looks like a lot of fun to me and I do like the Nights franchise as well so those extra stages would be great to have access to. =3
It's a video game! Characters can get away with stuff like that! Like in the ending of Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii and 3DS versions) Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong hit the moon to finish off the tikis
One day, there should be a game where Amy goes on an adventure to save Sonic. After all, other games have the girl that usually gets in trouble saving the heroic boy, and those games are popular!
The "Fun" is personal opinion (as the thing to "liking" or "not liking" a game), be "bad game" or "good game" are facts, things given from programming, proposal, concept and everything. is immutable. that's the point.
yeah, I'm feeling the same thing =P. and after all, it's pointless.. people will still think that a game is good, just because they like. well,...backing to the video, Lost World seems, at least, something that I'd enjoy a lot, in various aspects. that's enough for me, for now.
I wanted a simple Sonic game, colorful, using the basic rule of art for Sonic games (the right rule), without any heavy rehash (just with some necessary nostalgic points), without automation of commands (without Boost, principally), puzzles in the right quantity and a decent and challenging LD. and of course, remembering that is a mascot platform game, not a FF, without necessity of any deep subject for plot!. and well, SEGA gave me Lost World! I'm more than satisfied!
Sonic Generations for 3DS it's too short and don't have a really good story. But I like it. I have fun with it, playing online multiplayer or time attack. Video games are entertainment, and the fun factor also counts in reviews.
The difference is that with Sonic Heroes, they went the safer route, and made a plot suitable for Sonic that actually made sense and didn't have plot holes, and cheerful gameplay. They also introduced a pretty cool idea. Whereas with Shadow, they added a whole new broken system. Guns. Shadow in no way was the 'same' as Heroes. If Shadow was so good to the point where you guys are protecting it with a giant shield -- why hasn't SEGA made a sequel?
in mario kart 7 go to rosalina's ice world go just before the goal and look at the top right corner of the screen and you see the planet of super mario galixy 1
Hopefully. Sonic has been getting better, and lost world is proving to look like a really good game. But you never know... something could go terribly wrong....
Woah, GX, let's not give tails too much credit. Sure the flying bots are nice and all, but if he's so fucking smart, I'm sure he'd have figured out how to put a second seat in the Tornado so Sonic wouldn't be perpetually in his view while he flies what is apparently treacherous open sky.
I don't know if Sega thought about this but.... according to old enemies and old-style models of robots returning.... and Classic Sonic and Eggman returning in the slot reels, the 1up icon is Classic Sonic's head. Are these things lost from the past to this world? Or did Sega really.... think that far?
You're right. And besides, in 2010 they picked it back up with not only Sonic, but all of their games. So this guy is either: 1) a troll 2) a pointless hater, wandering the internet 3)a fan-boy who can't recognize that no game is ever perfect. EVEN THE CLASSICS. BTW, I actually think that it looks pretty good graphics wise
great job André always doing the best analysis on TH-cam
Is Derek the resident expert of EVERYTHING?
now im wondering what tells is holding is a wii U like controler
This is legitimately Mario Galaxy in a new skin, I can see it all forming a shape now. I can see so many ideas from Galaxy going into this game. Good thing they acknowledged the frustrating motion ball controls in Galaxy 2, and changed it to analog.
thanks for the update guys keep up the good work :D
since zor can make shadow clones, on the clip where it shows the deadly six betraying eggman(part 4 of ur analysis) u can see 3 of the deadly six black so did zor make three of them clones meanwhile there doing something else or does it mean something else plz answer gamexplain
I was dead wrong. This is definitely looking up.
Gives me a Sonic Adventure feel.
the Background in some of the NIGHTS boss fights bear a striking resemblance to the background in which the player fights the time eater in generations. Of course this could be from Nights, but I've never played it.
All Hail Andre, the Author of Amazing, Awesome, and Absolutely Astounding Analyses!
(I love alliteration...can't you tell? =P)
"But that's what we're paid to do." That killed me XD
Also, there are multiple slot machines that you can find in the casino nights themed stage.
One of the games developers said (in a different interview for this title) that the 3ds version of this game was created by a separate team of developers from the Wii. There will of course be similarities but they wont at all be the same game. The store-line will be the same but stages and game play will differ.
I saw a sceenshot on Sonic News Network of Sonic Lost World, and that object was in the sky in nighttime theme of Windy Hill. Trust me, go to Sonic News Network, there was also a sceenshot of Sonic chasing Zazz, so the fight might have Sonic dodging Zazz until he can get behind him to strike
Man this game looks so great that I may get the preorder version
Is the deadly six edition a pre order bonus or a different edition
Hey andre. Just wondering, are you going to do a guide for New Super Luigi U now that it just came out?
Thank you sir, you just saved me from cancer. I'm not getting that DLC anytime soon now...until I'm prepared...
I've noticed that the wisps are in item boxes not capsules like the previous games, could this mean something?
The Wii U version of "Sonic Lost World" is the only one with the "Deadly Six Edition" right? There's no "Deadly Six Edition" for the 3DS version as of now, correct?
there's Rank Letters in the screenshots of the Windy Hill's world map in the Wii U version.
Hey Andre, you missed two vital things in the screenshots! Omochao and Yacker are back!
I'm not doing that. I'm just commenting. I'll give you an upvote.
Just because we criticize doesn't mean something it what we call it. Fact is, if a video game performs it's purpose, to be fun, thumbs up. If it has a good storyline, great. If it's want we desire and changes the gaming world, it's beyond beautiful. Shadow performed it's first role pretty well.
I think the stars might be the usefullnes OR if theyve been powered up since I remeber hearing something in one of the analysis in where you sadi that items can be shared trought the 3ds to the wii u and can be powered up so it might be that
if i have already pre-orderd sonic lost world will i get the deadly 6 edition?
There's a circus tent in the Windy Hill hub/menu screenshot, so maybe there's a Circus or carnival themed level in windy hill?
What about the 3ds version? Will there be the same amount of stages
At 7:03, one of the Deadly Six takes something out of his "pocket", could it be a chaos emerald?
Sonic will be on 3DS and Wii U. Well, you can still cancel your Wii U preorder, or keep it to play other great games, such as Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Sonic (in case you don't buy it for 3DS), Donkey Kong, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Brothers, Zelda Wind Waker, Bayonetta 2, Mario 3D World and let's not forget the new Project by Monolith Soft and the next big new Zelda that will come to Wii U.
I just preordered my Zelda Wii U with Wind Waker and I have a long list of games I want to play. =)
I think the object Zazz is carrying is a Moon, seen in a screenshot from Sonic News Network on Sonic Lost World
I just checked back on all the analysis vids, and I noticed that you guys haven't mentioned that the bounce attack appears to be back. I've seen it used in several gameplay demos and was wondering if you guys had noticed it yet.
And at 6:23 you can see the back wisp bomb ability that sonic has is only 3 stars and both of the ones that you can take (that has the wisp next to them) have 4 stars meaning they miht be able to get powered up
Are you going to do an analysis on the x and y demo shown?
What I think about 4:55 is that each time one of the owls spots you another shadow clone will appear. I'm also guessing the clones will probably chase you around acting as your shadow until you hit the real Zor.
Guys will the pre order night thingy be avaible everywhere
I don't understand the pre-order thing. Can someone explain what exactly we get?
Will you guys be doing a playthrough of this game?
Looks pretty much like it. That's what i was thinking as well, mostly because Generations was just revisiting older levels more than anything else.
You run around as Shadow, fighting baddies, collecting rings, running through loop-de-loops, with all of the other Sonic characters, continuing a story that started in Sonic heroes. Just because you play as Shadow, it doesn't mean its not a Sonic game.
I'm sorry to here that. I had fun. I didn't like that the camera glitched but it was pretty fun. I look pass the flaws of video games. They're not meant to be perfect. The only Sonic game that ever gone me mad was Sonic and Knuckles because I hated Knuckles at the time.
Shadow to me, is not suppose to have an expanded background. In Adventure 2, we know he was meant to be used to save that little girl, but it didn't happen. He's cool and the ultimate life form. That's all we need to know.
This game looks so awesome
Yacker and Omochao ARE BACK!!
is the deadly six edition for 3ds to
The robot at the end of the forest also appears in the sand in a picture in game informer
This may be the best 3D Sonic since Adventure 2: Battle :)
True, I LOVE that game. I don't own it, I played it at my friends house, but it's funny and so freaking fun.
I'm actually looking forward to the Deadly Six Edition. I want that DLC. I like having challenges. :)
Is the special edition on 3ds too?
There's been a screenshot. And besides the Wisp trailer didn't necessarily confirm all of them (heck as we can see from here it didn't confirm the Bomb Wisp).
Is Deadly six edition for 3ds too
I love the song in this video, can anyone tell what the song is?
On the subject of Knuckles, he may have been tricked by either Eggman or the deadly six. In M&S London 2012 Oylmpics 3DS, Knuckles was tricked by Kamek, Dry Bones, and Latiku to battle Bowser, indicating that he may be tricked. Examples: Sonic 3, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Advance 2, his counterpart Gawain in Black Knight, and Sonic Colors DS.
1:34 i know theres a spy owl... but did anyone notice the toher owl in the hovercraft scene?
I think Iizuka confirmed the 6 act structure in an interview. Can't recall where tho''
Okay I guess those pictures of the Red Wisp revealed in the Famitsu article and all the Wisp Powers we already have in the game that weren't revealed in the Colour Powers trailer either don't count as "proof"
We already have three returning Wisps and six new ones, one we know is in both versions, two we've only seen in the 3DS version, two we've only seen in the Wii U version, and one that is only obtainable through Miiverse and never appears in-game
the shadows of zoar is matching with the shadows where the deadly six attack eggman
on the deadly six edition the blue emo one is standing on reala, that bit of the speical edition is the best by my standards :3
For a better explanation, look up the footage of the Nintendo direct and the zones 1 and 2
2:58-3:34, you forgot to talk about the rings that stick to the snowball Sonic is trapped in when it touches them. Maybe when the rings are squished by the snowball, they stick. Weird, huh.
No, I don't think they're not Sonic games. I just don't want to consider them when it comes to the franchise.

Can't wait for the game to come out ^_^
Two Theories
1.You can play as Knuckles and Amy but you unlock them
2.Amy has been Captured and Knuckles went to save her but he got captured to
I'm also wondering how would this game would work on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
if you look at the windy hill world map you can see that there are 6 red rings per level insted of 5
How does the analysis trailer
have you GameXplained the new trailer yet?!?!? It's the new trailer for Sonic lost world in japanese! it has a TON OF CUTSCENES!!!
Andre, there's something that I've found that is interesting. In the Japanese version, Zor stated that he thinks of him and Sonic similar. I wonder what that means...
I spend 65 dollars on Chronoblade. 20 on a pre-owned Shadow. 20 - 40 on Heroes, Chrono Trigger, Jak and Dexter Collection, Yoshi's Island, Kirby's Return and many more. My uncle gave me the whole disc set of Legend of Dragoon for free because he hates RPGs.

Maybe it caused more harm than good though.
Oh. My. God. NiGHTS into Dreams... bosses in Lost Worlds?
I need a Wii U. NOW!
Plus, both Colors and Lost world are on Nintendo Exclusive consoles.
I really don't care about the feedback from players, I look at everything with facts, and provide examples explaining exactly why it is what it is. I could care less if people don't want to think of Smash as a fighting game, the fact is; it IS a fighting game by genre. That's the story.
Did anyone notice Yakker on the miiverse item sharing screen?
Knuckles and Amy could've saw Eggman's ship (or whatever the hell he was flying) flying towards Lost Hex and have decided to follow him to try to stop him on their own, I don't know, could be dead wrong but my theory seems to make sense to me, we'll just have to see how the story plays out I guess :)
Just a thought but maybe
if the wisps are in this and the deadly six can use telekinesis
then they could control the wisps and make more versions of nega wisps
Still waiting for Amazon at my place to add that Deadly Six Bonus Edition. The game looks like a lot of fun to me and I do like the Nights franchise as well so those extra stages would be great to have access to. =3
It's a video game! Characters can get away with stuff like that! Like in the ending of Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii and 3DS versions) Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong hit the moon to finish off the tikis
I think Tropical Coast is Zik's location
so we know where the Deadly Six will be except for Zavok
If what you say is true, could it be a reference to Majora's Mask because of the face and it's evil purpose?
One day, there should be a game where Amy goes on an adventure to save Sonic. After all, other games have the girl that usually gets in trouble saving the heroic boy, and those games are popular!
Do you only do reviews on Nintendo games?
Yes it is.
The "Fun" is personal opinion (as the thing to "liking" or "not liking" a game), be "bad game" or "good game" are facts, things given from programming, proposal, concept and everything. is immutable. that's the point.
yeah, I'm feeling the same thing =P. and after all, it's pointless.. people will still think that a game is good, just because they like. well,...backing to the video, Lost World seems, at least, something that I'd enjoy a lot, in various aspects. that's enough for me, for now.
there is a boss fight trailer for sonic lost world!
I wanted a simple Sonic game, colorful, using the basic rule of art for Sonic games (the right rule), without any heavy rehash (just with some necessary nostalgic points), without automation of commands (without Boost, principally), puzzles in the right quantity and a decent and challenging LD. and of course, remembering that is a mascot platform game, not a FF, without necessity of any deep subject for plot!. and well, SEGA gave me Lost World! I'm more than satisfied!
I am going to preorder the Wii U Version.
Sonic Generations for 3DS it's too short and don't have a really good story. But I like it. I have fun with it, playing online multiplayer or time attack. Video games are entertainment, and the fun factor also counts in reviews.
She was saving Mario in that? I never played the game before but I've heard about it on Game Theory. Interesting
The difference is that with Sonic Heroes, they went the safer route, and made a plot suitable for Sonic that actually made sense and didn't have plot holes, and cheerful gameplay.

in mario kart 7 go to rosalina's ice world go just before the goal and look at the top right corner of the screen and you see the planet of super mario galixy 1
looks great
Great analysis, but I feel like the stars represent a cost.
Mega Man's last game was actually Project X Zone. It released last month.
Hopefully. Sonic has been getting better, and lost world is proving to look like a really good game. But you never know... something could go terribly wrong....
Woah, GX, let's not give tails too much credit. Sure the flying bots are nice and all, but if he's so fucking smart, I'm sure he'd have figured out how to put a second seat in the Tornado so Sonic wouldn't be perpetually in his view while he flies what is apparently treacherous open sky.

Are these things lost from the past to this world? Or did Sega really.... think that far?
I agree or it could be unlocked with red rings but can be used very rarely like a holy hand grenade
Super Princess Peach is one. It's so popular, they made a sequel!
You're right. And besides, in 2010 they picked it back up with not only Sonic, but all of their games. So this guy is either:
1) a troll
2) a pointless hater, wandering the internet
3)a fan-boy who can't recognize that no game is ever perfect.
EVEN THE CLASSICS.
BTW, I actually think that it looks pretty good graphics wise
