The Persona 5 Dancing Morgana Prize Figure Returns

The figure will start appearing in stores from the second week of April 2024.
The figure depicts Morgana in his Metaverse appearance, while wearing the dancing clothes he sports in the P5D rhythm game spin-off alongside a golden crown. It is approximately ...

If this had a Steam or console market release, this would've been bigger!

May be but it's already fit as a mobile game with its simple controls.

Oh, I thought they were criticized for being a handheld for ants.

Yep, only by western media though ... which were not their target market.

Yeah but I mean a Game Gear with totally revised electronics than just continuing production of the original Game Gear, with technology that takes up 6 AAs for a few short hours. They could make the "Game Gear Advance"... so to speak. My point is, it would probably be cheaper for Sega to re-invent the Game Gear with cheap electronics we have today and make the Game Gear more power-efficient, than it would be buying the dated parts needed to make the Game Gear how it was.

Though probably be even more cost-efficient and more accessible to customers, if they just update/replace "SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics" with "SEGA Classics" and allow a variety of Sega console games, other than Mega Drive, to be purchased and played on it.

They could make it of course and assuming it would have no games attached (since all those licensing things would make it more pricey) probably it would cost around $400, just like Analogue Pocket.
It still cost much more than Nintendo Switch ($300).



You and some die hard retro fans might be willing to pay over $400 for a new Game Gear but it is unlikely the general consumer would want it more than Switch if they had that much spare of money to buy a handheld.

So I'm not sure, but it looks like "Devwill Too Prologue" and "Shaolin Carcará" may have gotten physical releases at some point? Either that or this guy just had custom copies made for himself, I can't find a clear answer one way or the other.

I've tried finding more information about those and yeah you're right.
They were sold in 2022 and already sold out in 2023.

I'll update the list. Thanks billybob.

So, hypothetical question, if there were a new Ristar game anytime soon, how would you imagine Sega would renovate it or what direction they would take it?

I've seen the fan game "Ristar 2" but it's been over a year since DevBoyDibs made any updates over it and I dunno if I would want Sega to keep Ristar a side-scroller when he could have gameplay like Werehog Sonic.

Only Mania, Origins, and Superstars.
Forces and Generations are having both, right?
Modern Sonic still has much much more games than Classic, especially if mobile ones are counted.
Of course Modern Sonic has the most games, he's been around since the concept of "era-Sonic's" were established in Generations. Before then, Modern Sonic was just Sonic, and most still regard him as Sonic. It is to be expected Modern Sonic to have the most games and I am fine with that.

But still, Classic Sonic has had quite the attention since Sonic Generations. With games such as Mania, tritagonist in Forces, Mania Plus, Origins (if you count it) and Superstars, and also his appearance in Speed Battle and Speed Simulator.It would just be nice if we had some Sonic games in style of Dreamcast-era gameplay. Closest we have had of late is Adventure Sonic and Grind Shoes Sonic skins in Sonic Speed Simulator.

People don't regard "Dreamcast Sonic" a thing, regarding him the same as Modern Sonic. Or that a Dreamcast Sonic wouldn't look different to Modern Sonic. I believe a Dreamcast Sonic can be established as an "era-Sonic"... but I believe it would be neccisary to apply changes to Dreamcast Sonic to make them slightly different from how Sonic was during the Dreamcast era.

Such changes I would make to Dreamcast Sonic would be:
  • Middle-size between Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic in height.
  • Darker blue than Modern Sonic. Roughly cobalt blue in colour, instead of Modern Sonic's shade of #OF45D2.
  • Give him lankier arms and legs, such as slightly thinner biceps and thighs.
  • His quills being slightly jagged, to resemble the mid-poly count of the Dreamcast rendering. (the rest of him can still be standard hi-poly rendered, like Classic and Modern Sonic are.)
  • Voiced exclusively by Ryan Drummond. A voice different from Roger Craig Smith will make Dreamcast Sonic stand out even more from Modern Sonic by how they distinctly sound.
  • While the Grind Shoes were exclusive to Sonic Adventure 2, have them the signature footwear of Dreamcast Sonic.
Nah.. SEGA's Arcade R&D was very huge back then, even Taito, Capcom, and Namco's having hard time to top them.
Besides Donkey Kong was their only big hit in arcade.
Donkey Kong Junior, Mario Bros. (the original, not the Super), Donkey Kong 3, and Punch-Out!! couldn't even close to the original Donkey Kong's success.
Still... if Nintendo ever decided to put their hat back into the arcade business... they could probably give Sega a run for their money. While it would technically be a new "Sega vs Nintendo" corporate conflict, one I wouldn't be able to see unfold myself which would suck.
They're still too short. But I guess that's the nature of Tiktok videos.
At least they put them together in YouTube videos... though I still think these animators should consider wide-screen versions for YouTube.
We don't have it here so I kinda get how you feel about this.
I'm hungry for Sonic!
C.A. Martin bring us a gorgeous Official Super Sonic poster.
Plus trippy Psychedelic Art from SEGA. Fri 5 April.

Looks coo... until you notice both posters are practically the same except one has a slightly altered hue and replaces Sonic for Super Sonic.
