Takashi Iizuka, the producer of Sonic Lost World, has announced in an interview that the Wii U version of the game will not feature online multiplayer. The 3DS version of the game will have 4 player racing over the Internet. No information was given as to why the 3DS version has internet racing and the Wii U version doesn’t, but hopefully we will hear more about this issue soon.
“The Wii U multiplayer is not on the Internet. It’s basically everyone sitting on the same couch. The 3DS for the first time we’re having 4-player versus racing over Wi-Fi and the Internet.”
It seems as if the developers are treating Sonic Lost World as a party game on the Wii U, instead of offering Internet racing that some might want.
