For those who want a wireless option, though, this could potentially be the solution ...

If you yearn to revisit the glorious need for speed that Sega provided you with stellar 90’s arcade racers like Daytona USA, Sega Rally Championship, or Manx TT Superbike, you’re not the only one. A few developers have begun taking a crack at recapturing that spirit with some brand new games. Today, we’re putting a spotlight on one of the newest games of that bunch: Parking Garage Rally Circuit. As a retro racer, Parking Garage Rally Circuit is a fun and fresh take on racers with its setting and structure and a wonderful love letter to the Sega Saturn. It may not feel quite like the racers of the day and does still employ some modern gaming touches, but it’s a thrilling joy ride that any racing fan should check out. Its physics issues are the only major flaw that really holds it back from greatness, as having such featherweight cars can really mess with your careful driving and ruin the race in ways you’d never see coming, but it happens just infrequently enough to not ruin the whole experience. The presentation is top notch and very faithful to the time period it seeks to pay tribute to and the music supports the action in ways that few modern throwback games have been able to capture. Go take this game for a spin and show ...

When Lunar Remastered Collection was announced a short while ago, it was met with an overwhelmingly positive reaction online. Lunar is one of the best JRPG series of the '90s, having started life on the Sega CD before being ported to the Saturn and PS1.One of the big questions surrounding the release was its English localisation. Working Designs famously localised the games for Sega CD and PS1, bringing in a host of voice talent to deliver the versions that most people are nostalgic about today.Despite speculation that this new remaster package would include Working Designs' localisation, it would seem that isn't the case – and Working Designs founder, Victor Ireland, is keen to stress that the blame for that doesn't sit with him, as some have suggested.Speaking on the Retro Hangover podcast, Ireland explains that he has offered the Working Designs localisation to GungHo, the company behind the remasters, but at the time of writing, they haven't taken him up on ...
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 ..."
