Along with Nintendo helping [[Sega]] to fund the upcoming ''Bayonetta 2'' for Wii U, Satoru Iwata announced on the second show of ''Nintendo Direct'' in 2013 that Nintendo and [[Sega]] will be collaborating together to make three Nintendo console exclusive Sonic titles for the [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]]. One title was confirmed to be ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'' and the other was the fourth-installment of the ''Mario & Sonic'' cross-over, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''. The final confirmed Nintendo exclusive title is ''[[Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric]]'' for the Wii U and ''[[Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal]]'' for the Nintendo 3DS. Sonic was also confirmed for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Wii U'']] along side the new stage [[Windy Hill]]. However, Smash Bros. is not part of the three-game deal.  Two downloadable levels were released for the Wii U version of ''Sonic Lost World'' with both being based on two different Nintendo franchises. The first being [[Yoshi's Island Zone]] and the second [[The Legend of Zelda Zone]] where Sonic dons Link's tunic in the latter. A Sonic amiibo was released in 2015 which allows a NPC Sonic to join the fight. The amiibo is also compatible with ''[[w:c:mario:Mario Kart 8|Mario Kart 8]]'', ''[[w:c:mario:Yoshi's Wooly World|Yoshi's Wooly World]]'', and ''[[w:c:mario:Super Mario Maker|Super Mario Maker]]'' which allows the player to obtain a skin or outfit based on Sonic. Sonic also was also announced in 2018 for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a playable fighter along side Knuckles who appears as an Assist Trophy.
