Project X Zone hits American retailers in June

It seems that Namco-Bandai is set to publish Project X Zone in America  and they plan on releasing on it June 25th. The game takes popular characters from Namco, Capcom and our dear blue SEGA . The idea is to combine them in a big RPG for the Nintendo 3DS.

Looking at all those characters in the header, I’m wondering who would win in a fight: Akira Yuki vs Ryu vs Jin Kazama? I will be biased and go with Akira, how about you?

SEGA West confirms Phantasy Star Online 2 delay

Are you one of the many people waiting for the Western release of Phantasy Star Online 2? Well there is some good news, SEGA has stated that the game has been delayed. This might not be the fantastic news you wanted, but in the end at least SEGA is mentioning the intention of still releasing it.

“Originally slated for an early 2013 launch, Sega can officially confirm that PS02 has been delayed. We don’t have any specifics but will update everyone as soon as there are more details to share.”

Well, all I hope is that the title is ready before summer so it can eat all my hours and make me depressed come October.

Edge Online wants a western release for Yakuza 5

by

original
Guess what? We agree with them. They did a pretty sweet article titled ‘Yakuza 5 and why it needs a western release‘.

 “Nagoshi’s housewarming is in full swing in Japan, and it’s high time the rest of the world gatecrashed the party.”

Usually I would love for the game to get a box release, but seeing as One Piece and a few other games have profited by digital only releases, I wouldn’t mind that as long as I get to play it in English. What about you?

Play-Asia lists the US version of Valkyria Chronicles 3

by

Seems that the boys at Play-Asia made an error, the site has a page for the US version of Valkyria Chronicles 3 on the PSP. The issue? The game has not been announced for Western release. So in the end, we have to determine that most likely, Play-Asia’s web team made a mistake… Or maybe SEGA has a few surprises for Valkyria Chronicles fans?

Some are saying SEGA is shutting down SEGA America, which isn’t true.

Now there are questions like, who gave the order? If you guess SEGA-Sammy, you are correct. Check out SEGA of America’s official statement after the jump.

Operation G.H.O.S.T. arcade coming West

by

Operation G.H.O.S.T. is a sequel to SEGA’s hit arcade light gun shooter Ghost Squad, which happened to get a Wii port in 2007. Well Operation G.H.O.S.T. is coming to both America and Europe, making its debut at AAMA Gala 2011 in Illinois.

More information on the cabinet can be found on SEGA Amusement USA’s website.

“This deluxe, 2 player, 42” high definition cabinet contains 5 player selectable stages of incredible depth. This is enhance by the return of the popular challenge level including the classic sniper sections which really emerge the player in to the intense world of an Operation Ghost agent!”

Sounds like a good way to spend some hard earned coin, that is if you have a arcade near you that stocks up on the latest machines. Super rare, right?

Max Anarchy being called Anarchy Reigns in the West

by

Platinum Games has just tweeted that they will be showing something about Max Anarchy online on their website. But one new piece of info is that the game is being called Anarchy Reigns in the west.

“@platinumgames: We announced ANARCHY REIGNS (MAX ANARCHY in Japan) for PS3 and 360 today. Look for info on our website soon.”

That sort of sucks, I was actually liking the sound of ‘Max Anarchy’, even though it did remind me of Max Payne.

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Arcade caught on video

by


It seems that the game is just the console version ported to arcades, doesn’t seem to have anything extra. Shame, would have been cool to have a few new characters.

Though we can’t see the character selection in the video, the uploader says that its the same game as console. This is only a beta version as well, product could change.
