If there is one thing about Sega that never fails to impress, it’s their arcade output, and this year is no different! Sega’s stage was easily the highlight of AOU 2010 and were going to show you why.
Luckily some kind fellow recorded Sega’s event at AOU and has kindly uploaded it to youtube for us all to see.
You like Arcade games? you like little girls dancing? Sega got you covered! Check out both videos here,
Alright, here is the first ever contest at SEGAbits, so lets hope this goes over smoothly. We have one copy of Super Monkey Ball: Step and Roll and 25 Chiquita shirts and/or Aiai Shirts (randomly selected) to give away, so if you enter, you will most likely win something.
SEGA of Europe have just tweeted that Aliens vs. Predator is the fastest selling game of the year, in the UK. This means it beat heavy weight titles like Mass Effect and even their own Bayonetta.
“News just in; AvP is the fastest selling game this year and also no.1 in the all-formats chart here in the UK.“
I guess critical reception is not needed to sell megaton copies, you just need to sprinkle some badass license characters and watch it explode.
“No time for love, Dr. Jones”
I played the Yakuza 3 Japanese demo for quite awhile and noticed some stuff that was missing from the US demo. First of all the arcade section was missing AnswerXAnswer arcade mini-game.
Then I also noticed that they took off hostess bar section. You can’t try it out in the demo, leading me to believe it is not going to be in the full game since the US trophy list that was just released is missing the 2 hostess trophies. This also confirms a rumor that came out a few months ago saying that the western release wouldn’t have the hostess sections in it.
Why did SEGA edit out hostess content from this game and not the others? No idea.
Apparently a man known as Paul Wendling (pictured above) who worked on the CGI/Real Time trailer for Platinum’s new game Vanquish has given some interesting insight into the game.
Including information on the game play and the functions of the suite.

I hope you still have your copy of Valkyria Chronicles because if you do, you are in for a treat. SEGA has finally decided to bring over the (as of now) the last piece of DLC for Valkyria Chronicles, the pack is called “The Challenges of the Edy Detachment”.
The game will feature six missions given out by Edy’s Squad. The DLC goes live on Thursday, February 25th. Also, no trophy patch is planned for the game, stop asking.
It’s getting awfully close to the release date and you would think SEGA has completely forgotten they’ve got a DS version of the game coming out. Well in the span of a few days we’ve got the demo and now a trailer and for a Nintendo DS game, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is indeed looking good. For those wondering when they can get their hands on the game, it’s available for purchase from 23rd February for America and 26th February for Europe and Austraila.
It’s been a while since we saw our last Yakuza 4 trailer, but no more! The latest trailer for the latest entry into the Yakuza 4 goes onto show the depth of the now much expanded Kamurocho from the underground to the top of various buildings. The trailer also shows the new move sets and HEAT moves able to be performed by the new characters and much more.
SEGA has announced a new version of Virtua Fighter 5 today via the trailer above. Outside of this, not much is known, the only thing we do know is that it will be for arcades and it will carry over your Virtua Fighter 5 R items to the new updated version.
So now that we got the “final” version out, can we have our console port SEGA?
In SEGA’s latest trailer for the long overdue Yakuza 3, we get to have a look at the characters, old and new, that make up the complex storyline. From returning characters of Majima to Kazuma’s newest ally Rikiya, Kazuma going to have a job on his hand trying to stop an all out war from erupting within the Tojo Clan!
The last time we left Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games, SEGA confirmed they had shipped 5.67 million by the end of December. Well it seems that another milestone has been reached with SEGA announcing the title making it past the 6 million mark. It probably comes as no surprise then considering not only the popularity of both characters but also due to the fact that minigame collections are all round big sellers on the Wii.
At any rate, it seems like the sequel will manage to get to the lofty heights of over 10 million that the original reached.
Steve “SOL” Lycett from Sumo Digital was nice enough to give an interview for the upcoming Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. We tried to ask most of the questions we wanted more information about and I think the interview came out pretty good, read it yourself after the jump.
According to Lost Gamer, the English version of the Yakuza 3 demo is set to hit the PSN Store today. I also hear that Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is suppose to hit PSN as well. Two for one.
There have been a ton of rumors flying around about Vanquish, the new title by Platinum Games. One of the rumors was that it was a Playstation 3 exclusive because of a leak were SEGA mentioned it might have PSP connectivity and after the trailer hit the internet, everyone assumed it was a shooting game. It seems that both rumors might be correct, according to the Official Playstation Magazine podcast.
“Next time we’ll be talking shooters with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Vanquish and another very special game yet to be announced.”
Sure this does not make it a Playstation 3 exclusive, but I have yet to see any signs to point at a 360 version and we all know that Mikami is not scared of going exclusive. See: Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4. Also the guys at OPM have said its a shooter…
(Yes, I know that everyone is excited about the ‘very special game’ that is yet to be announced, that is cool, but its not a SEGA game!)
There has been little to no After Burner Climax information, so we are posting the little information SEGA has posted online. First of all we have a new trailer, that is fast and full of action above.
In one of the game’s blog updates, producer Toru Murayama confirmed that the game will not have online co-op. They decided to “hold off” on the feature after talking with the original arcade team. The game will be shown in playable form next week in the Xbox 360 Shooting Festa.
