Sonic Colors soundtrack comes West

by

The Sonic Colors soundtrack, titled Vivid Sound x Hybrid Colors, is heading to both North America and Europe. If you’re expecting a sexy CD package, though, I’m here to give you bad news: this is coming here digitally.
For North America, you can already buy the album via iTunes. Europe and Japan should have them up shortly. The soundtrack will feature all 82 tracks from the game, spanning 3 discs. You can buy each disc separate, since they will be labeled ‘Vol.1 through Vol. 3’.

Price? Per track: $1.29 / £0.99, Per Disc: $9.99 / £7.99. So about $30 dollars for the full soundtrack.

by

Phantasy Star Portable 2 already did a Toro tie-in, and SEGA has something new planned for the extended version of the game. They added two more weapons, the Nyackle (pun on knuckles, nya is the sound of cats) and Mr. Television grenade.

  • Nyackle: Will be Toro and Kuro on your knuckles, when you attack they will say stuff.
  • Mr. Television grenade: Is the TV set from Toro Station, you will be able to throw it and make it rain washtubs.

Not only that, you will also be able to get a Mr. Television room decoration. Check out the photos of the items being used.

Max Anarchy has been revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu. The game will be the first online title by Platinum Games and will be heading for both PS3 and Xbox 360. The screens above show that Jack, from Platinum Games’ violent Wii game MadWorld, will be a playable character.

The game is said to boast a ‘big number’ of online players. Not much new information. The screens do give a ‘Gears of War’ vibe, don’t you think?

by


From Famitsu’s online store,  Japanese consumers will be able to purchase a special ‘Famitsu DX bundle’ version of Yakuza of the End. The bundle will include, along with the copy of the game, an awesome-looking stainless steel tumbler.

If that wasn’t enough, Japanese consumers who pre-order the game right now will be given the “Yakuza Karaoke Best Selection” soundtrack for free.

Damn must feel good living in Japan and getting neat extras like this, in America they cut content and give you ‘free updates’ as pre-order bonuses.

Rodea: The Sky Soldier Trailer, Details

by

I haven’t known what to think of Yuji Naka’s new game…until now. I have to say, the game play in this looks really intense. As a big fan of NiGHTS and rail shooters, this looks like something any SEGA fan should be excited about. What do you think of the trailer?

I will admit, the CGI does look rather low budget. But it’s the game play that counts, right?

Further details, courtesy of GoNintendo:

– When Ion reactivates Rodea, she asks, “Can you hear my voice?”
– the text following that scene says “The 1000 year promise that’s told now on this continent in the skies.”
– theme song credited to Dino
– Naka as game designer, Takayuki Nakamura on sound and Takumi Miyajima on scenari
– text at the end of the trailer says “I will protect you. That is why I fly.”
– Rodea is a flying robotic soldier who was created as part of the R Project
– “to protect the promise with that person,” Rodea takes on the Naga Empire
– Ion lives on the floating continent of Garuḍa and loves to tinker with robots.
– Ion takes on the task of protecting Rodea and Garuda
– Ion looks like Princess Cecilia, who was responsible for saving Garuda 1000 years ago
– Cecilia is princess of the Naga Empire
– A wish from Cecelia marks the start of the story

Virtua Fighter 2 MD Perfect Port for iPhone

by

You know, being a SEGA fan is hard some times it feels like the company enjoys screwing with their fans as illustrated by the Genesis Perfect port of the AM2 Classic for iPhone.

We weren’t going to report this but UK-Resistance news post changed our mind:

NO IDEA WHAT TO SAY OR FEEL ABOUT THIS

Happy, Sad, Indifferent, Confused, Annoyed that Sarah Byrant’s tits won’t be as nice in 2d.

Funny, UK-Resistance Sega news reporting at it’s finest.

Check out their awesome coverage on the new NiGHTS  INTO DREAMS game, brutally honest.

NG.DEV.TEAM bringing GunLord to the Dreamcast in 2011

by

Less than a month into 2011 and already we have two games to look forward to on the Dreamcast! RedSpotGames announced the shmup Strumwind, and now NG.DEV.TEAM have announced their next game GunLord! Rene Hellwig briefly talked about it in our interview with them last year.

Very little is known of the game, aside from a teaser site and logo. However, above the logo are the words “Jump. Shoot. Explore.” as well as “A Jump N Shoot Action Game”.

Thanks to Dreamcast Junkyard reader Anthony817 for the tip!

SEGA Sequels: Vectorman 3

by

[You know you want to see him back]

Annnnnnd introducing…..SEGA Sequel Saturdays. The new feature where we discuss what we feel would be the perfect way to do sequels to some of our favorite SEGA games. This week, I tackle Vectorman, a pretty awesome SEGA Genesis run-and-gun platformer that was developed by BlueSky Software and published by SEGA. Though an attempt was made to revive the character back on the PS2 in 2003, the game was cancelled. All hope shouldn’t be lost, though. I still definitely think it’s possible to make a great next gen Vectorman game, and if you hit the jump, you’ll see how I’d go about reviving this Genesis icon for the current gen, and you can express your own ideas as well.

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.

SEGA cancels Thor PSP game, no one cares

by

SEGA has just revealed that the PSP version of their upcoming Thor game,  Thor: God of Thunder, will not be released.

The PSP version of Thor was being developed in-house, but don’t fear, the development has been moved to the 3DS. But with such short notice on the change, I think this game will probably be rushed… just like SEGA’s other Marvel movie games.
