A surprisingly depressing announcement was made at today's December Nintendo Direct event, as Nintendo's President Iwata announced the launch of Sonic Lost WorldDLC based on a Nintendo property.

Sonic Lost World's Yoshi's Island Zone DLC is available right now for free on the Wii U (no announcement regarding 3DSDLC).

Expect details on a Hyrule zone within the next few months.
