Steal This Look: Jet Set Radio Future’s The Latch Brothers





Quote
Our first bit of nightmare fuel is the rubber elephant mask. While there are several latex elephant masks on the market, this one was quite easy to find using a Google image search. The mask is on the smaller side, with eye holes cut in front of the elephant’s painted on eyes and the trunk is small and upturned. It appears that no specific mask company is credited, so it is possible the mask’s mold is commonly used by several companies. I found both United States and European retailers selling the mask for around $30.
The bunny mask was a bit more difficult to source. From what I can tell from photos of the group, the mask is more of a plush or fabric mask with plastic eyes and mouth. It appears to be a Rubie’s Easter Bunny mask which is sold as a part of a body costume. The mask in Latch Brothers photos is in pretty rough shape and I’d imagine Rubie’s production methods improved over ...

New Virtua Fighter Game In Development According to Executive Vice President Head of Global Transmedia Group SEGA, Justin Scarpone



Quote
In a published interview about why SEGA is reviving their classic IPs across media with Executive Vice President Head of Global Transmedia Group SEGA, Justin Scarpone, with Video Game Chronicle, he was asked how challenging it would be for SEGA to revive their IPs that are nearly 30 years old to resonate with a modern audience.
He responded that the IPs would need to be reinvented with persistent slate plan, marketing initiatives, product, and more transmedia. Scarpone would also confirm that numerous SEGA Legacy IPs are currently in development, including Virtua Fighter. Here is a snippet of the interview:
“So we have a suite of titles in ..."

Golf Shiyouyo 2 (Dreamcast) has been brought back online!



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C1gMLrQhlQ

Quote
Those of you who are fans of golf games will love this new addition to the online library. It’s a solid golf game with a good variety of courses, game modes, plenty of customization, and supports up to 4 players online. Some of the game modes include the usual like stroke and match play but there’s also a really cool mode called “Club Seal” that has you stealing clubs from the other players in order to make their round a bit more difficult.
The game runs awesome online from what we’ve played so far.
And no, before anyone asks, it doesn’t support the broadband adapter.
However, as you might expect from a turn-based game, it runs flawlessly over ...

Nai Adventure: *Shenmue Quiz Challenge* is a homebrew created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of *Shenmue*!
With a free release scheduled for Christmas, the game will be compatible with the Sega Saturn.

New features of the update:

Add more questions to the quiz;
Optimize loading times
