Conduit 2 finally gets a solid release date

by


So if early 2011 wasn’t good enough date for you guys, you will be happy to know that Conduit 2 will hit retail on February 15th, 2011. That is right, the same day as Capcom’s Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I see where this is going…

Best of luck to SEGA and High Voltage games on this one, hopefully it does better than the first one.

Shadow the Hedgehog was aimed at US market

by

Takashi Iizuka’s masterpiece Shadow the Hedghog wasn’t received too well by critics, mostly because the game, well sucked. But now he explains why the game was the way it was…

“After Sonic Adventure, we had two studios, in the US and Japan. The Japanese Studio was to develop a Sonic game in the standard style, and the US studio was to develop something different which could contribute to the Sonic franchise. That background generated the Shadow game as he appeared from Sonic Adventure. We wanted to offer other game systems to attract a different audience from traditional Sonic fans. In the US, first and third-person shooters were popular and we decided to go with a character who could work with them.”

I honestly assumed that Shadow the Hedgehog was just ‘Sonic Team’ trying to put out a product like Ratchet and Clank or Jak & Dexter. Too bad the concept wasn’t why the game was bashed…

Sonic fan film to get original Sonic voice actor

by

If you guys didn’t know, there is some fans working on a Sonic the Hedgehog film, Eddie Lebron is already in the finishing stages of the fan movie. Now, if you are asking yourself if the guy in the middle is an older Steve Urkel from Family Matters fame… it is.

Jaleel White white was the first voice actor for Sonic, he voiced him in three cartoons. Seems the fan film has pulled the retired Sonic voice actor back to the hot seat, according to the site they had him record as a older and younger Sonic, they are still going to choose what version to use. The film is set to be 10-15 minutes long, so don’t expect a Lord of the Rings long movie.

Physical Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity demo detailed

by

Do you love limited released SEGA stuff? I do, even though I never get anything and all the good stuff is from Japan. When SEGA does put good stuff on their Free Stuff Friday, some dude named MarioLugiKratos always ends up getting it. Bummer.

The demo is going to be limited to 10,000 units. To get one you have to cross a Rappy’s ears and then fill out some application stuff. This is all for Japan, you can also fill out this application and hand it to SEGA at their Jump Festa booth.

Taiga Saejima is basically Kazuma Kiryu times 2, he is twice as big and spent almost twice the amount of time in prison for something he didn’t do. Now he is released, will we be seeing bodies drop?

Another excellent trailer, a bit short, but good. Check it out.

Oh God! Kinect + Hatsune Miku = your perverted fantasies

by

Hatsun Miku fans are the odd, probably odder than Sonic fans. Actually no, they aren’t odder, just a different type of odd. Here is another PC Kinect hack that will send the freaks flying. OpenNI, Kinect and MikuMikuDance software, you can move her 3-D model around. Its not perfect, like the lower body tracking.

Regardless, pretty interesting stuff. I guess this will sell some Kinect units in Japan. Maybe SEGA will be interested in bringing a official game over? Here is another video to fap to.
