It's time for the Sonic cycle to begin anew. Sega has released the first trailer for its upcoming Sonic Lost World, and it shows off yet a new direction for the company's mascot. This time, it appears the game is taking a Mario Galaxy-inspired route--fitting, considering the game is exclusive to Nintendo platforms.

Fans will probably breathe a sigh of relief that the initial trailer doesn't feature any of Sonic's furry friends. However, given the number of other cuddly critters in the video, perhaps it's best to simply assume that Sonic won't be on this adventure solo.

      Is it really necessary in 2013 to be *That* snotty about a Sonic trailer? Desperate for street cred much?

      For what it's worth, those cuddly creatures bear a striking resemblance to the animals that you rescue at the end of the first sonic game.

      Kinda looks like Flicky was in the mix as well. He's made cameos in Sonic games before... not good ones mind you, but there's precedent.

        Yes, Sonic Generations is probably the best sonic game ever made.

        Also on the Wii Sonic Colors was good.

        I am also a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Episode I and II sure they feel a bit different but they are very well designed. These two have different physics but the game it self is really solid.

        So yeah quiet a lot actually.

        Sonic Generations is a must have Sonic game.

          2 is clearly the best of them all.

              Then why is it ahead of Sonic 3 on your list when you can choose to roll solo in that one?

              I can do without Tails, but I'll put up with a non essential AI on screen for levels that are actually fun, which Sonic 2 has. Generations' level design is far worse than all of those original Genesis games and we all know those aren't amazing or anything all of the time. The first couple in Generations are adequate but the rest is absolute fucking garbage, seriously terrible. You're nuts for ranking it so high and valcan is certifiably insane for even suggesting it could be the best Sonic game ever made.

        Sonic CD
        Both of the Adventure games
        I quite liked Sonic Heroes but I think i'm the only one
        I haven't played it but Sonic Colors on the Wii was supposed be really good
        Sonic Generations is just straight up awesome and probably the best Sonic game ever made so far

        From this trailer it looks like Sega finally got their heads screwed on right and are finally figuring out how to make good Sonic games again.

          Point in fact I just played through the new engine releases of Sonic CD and Sonic 1. They were great!

          Man, not only have I recently played through all of Sonic 1 and 2... I got all the chaos emeralds in the both games as well. I've also played and beaten several other old 2D Sonic games.

          Sonic games have always been idiosyncratic, but it's a simple matter of playing them on their own terms.

          Those games are deserved classics, they don't suck, you suck, now get off my lawn!

      Those new powerful enemies remind me of Space Jam.

      The badguy designs look silly, but...I think I dig that direction for the gameplay.
