Saw the trailer for Sonic Lost World today, can't wait for it to come out

Ditto. Sonic Xtreme all over the place.
I don't think it will make me buy a wiiU though, but it will make me buy another 3ds game.

My collection will go up to, um

• Zelda OoT
• TF Prime
• Sonic Generations

Oh four. Sonic Lost worlds. Well, thats one better than what I first thought.

is Transformers Prime any good on 3DS?

It's short and repetitive, lots of humans getting captured/needing rescue. So just like a Prime episode in game format. I regret purchasing it for $25 on sale. Gameplay is okay, nothing buggy, but nothing interesting.

Suffice to say it's no FoC?

Goodness me no.

It's bearable. Definitely aimed at kids, in the 4-8 bracket I think. Even on hard its a cake walk. I still play it occasionally, just to get all the collectables, and hear the voices. I'll never tire of Welker as Megatron.

It does have vehicle combat and the Transforming is handled well, you can drive and TF and attack, jump etc all in a smooth motion, which is what I really liked about the ROTF game on ps3.

I do like that their guns transform (Hold to charge and the weapons changes shape) and when in vehicle mode, if you shoot parts, of the vehicle transform to make the guns. EG, the side panels of Ratchet drop out a bit and reveal the guns, so there is some interesting stuff, but you can finish it pretty soon.

Back to Sonic Lost Worlds, I just hope the 3ds version is a good copy of what was shown in the video. I dont want to see it being a 2d super-cut down version with the same name.

Hmm, being Lost WorldS, it makes me wonder if they will take cues from, say Sonic CRackers and other random Sonic concepts...

Alright thanks guys, I probably won't get it unless I can find it cheap, so is it a shooting game like WfC/FoC or is it more a Beat em up? I've heard both claims

I like the way you think Tets, the lost worlds title could be a hint at revisiting abandoned sonic concepts (X-treme, crackers, etc)

it's just a rumour but from what I've heard the 3DS version will be a full 3d/2d game like the wiiU version so hopefully it won't be simplified and watered down like Colours and Generations were

I'm still super hyped for Lost Worlds but part of me wishes they would make a game where Sonic's friend's are playable again

It has both elements in it, run around a 3d level and you can either shoot baddies, or smash them. Shotting give you range, but the shots are incredibly weak. Smashing them has power but you are more vulnerable to being hit.

Certain Sonic friends
I think Sonic has too many pals personally. I don't mind as long as they enhance Gameplay. But a lot of the time they have just played exactly like Sonic. Take Sonic Adventure 2 for example, Shadow is exactly the same as Sonic. Bah. Even in games where they differ, they have cocked it up. Sonic 06, too much time playing as other characters other than Sonic. Although I could write a thesis on why Sonic 06 should not have been released. ( I really hated negotiating the large world that Sonic could zip around in a second, but Silver had to plod along in. Gah! don't get me started)

Personally, I like the classics buds, Tails, Knuckles, Metal Sonic. Espio is kind of cool. Shadow, Rougue etc can go away. I actually thought that Blaze the cat was a good character and had some interesting skills. I have a soft spot for Marine, coz she's an Aussie (despite being a raccoon)! Actually there are lost of Aussies, Knuckles would have to be an Aussie and all Marine's pals were Aussies (they were Koalas).
