SEGA announced on their blog that they will be issuing an update to help make Sonic Lost World for the Wii U a little easier. The update will give players an extra life after gaining 100 rings similar to previous Sonic games, as well as fixing a graphical glitch in the Frozen Factory casino level. The number of lives you receive during a Game Over screen will be increased from 5 to 10, and items will now show up in the World Map. But most importantly, some of the Color powers can now be activated by using the GamePad’s analog sticks and buttons instead of just using the touchscreen. These powers are the Black Bomb, the Crimson Eagle, the Indigo Asteroid, and the Orange Rocket.
Our own Jonathan Higgins enjoyed Sonic Lost World, despite its imperfections. Hopefully, this new patch might make the game a little more enjoyable for many of you. You can check out the full patch notes here, and if you’re interested, you can buy the game on Amazon.
