Next issue of Dengeki Playstation promises a bonus Valkyria Chronicles booklet. Could this be SEGA already starting their advertising tanks for the next installment of their awesome franchise?
Not to mention this is on the Playstation version of their magazine, basically securing it for either PSP or PS3. I hope it comes out on PS3.

SEGA has let their ‘official’ line up out of the bag, of course, they have a surprise or two they don’t want to reveal yet. This is their ‘expect to be there’ and playable games.
Of course they will most likely have a new Phantasy Star related product (anniversary game?) and for sure the new Yakuza PS3 game.

NG:DevTeam hinted at the possibility of porting games to Dreamcast. Now they announced a NeoGeo game, Fast-Striker, would be the first port. Also, up for pre-order (that was fast, huh?).
You can pre-order the game from NG: DevDirect. More information in what you get, including boxart, after the break.
4Gamer has the link to download the upcoming Black Panther: Yakuza New Chapter demo. The demo clocks in at 192mb and is obviously all in Japanese.
You don’t need a PSN account, just go here and scroll down till you see what you see above. Click that button, download and enjoy.
ESRB has agreed and given Vanquish the M rating, for Mature audiences only. I was a bit shocked, since Mikami said he wanted to make the game about killing robots, if Halo is not rated M, why would this game?
I guess human soldiers can be killed, when they are killed or blown up, there is blood (and limbs). They also revealed that some cutscenes will have violence and one even has a random character committing suicide. As they say, assassinating himself.

You can nab up the PS3 version of SEGA & Sonic All-Stars Racing on the PS3 for the low price of $19.99. The 360 version can be had for $29.99. This is a price drop via Amazon.
SEGA & Sonic All-Stars Racing: $19.99
The game is highly recommended, even read our review!
Amazon has posted a list of downloadable PSN items coming this Tuesday. In that list, there was Yakuza 3 “Challenge Pack.” This is the DLC that was given away if you pre-ordered the game.
“This bonus Challenge Pack will allow you to enjoy 2-player mini games, competing against your friends at Pool, Bowling, Darts and Golf. You will also be able to customize the principle characters with four alternative costumes for Kazuma, Haruka and Rikiya. (A Completed game save file required to access some of this content.)“
Only issue? Its not free, they will be charging $3.99 for it. All this content was free for Japan, not so much (unless you pre-ordered) for us in the West. Feels good man.

OK, third and last update of a newly announced arcade title. I swear, don’t hit me. This one is for Border Break, everyone loves Border Break, right?
Below is the announcement trailer for the new game. Looks pretty sweet. Would make a great console game, right?
Another Initial D game has been announced, this time its Initial D Stage 6. You guys keeping track?
I actually don’t know much information on this game, so I will say it will be an upgrade to part 5. Isn’t it great? I hope they have the real life size cars for it as a cabinet. Would rock.

SEGA is beefing up their line up for JAMMA this year, they started it off by announcing 3 new titles. This one is one of those titles. Its a ‘expansion’ version of Shining Force Cross, only this one adds another word to the title. Raid!
This title is going to have more levels, more weapons, more items and new characters to play as. We won’t get to play it, so I guess it doesn’t matter.

SEGA will be airing a 11 part TV show adaptation of its Yakuza PSP game and will have the same name as the game, “Black Panther: New Yakuza Chapter.” The show will air after K-On, a anime that SEGA is turning into a PSP game.
The show will begin airing on October 5th and after its run it will be available on the Playstation Network to rent. Most likely Japan only.
If that was not enough there will also be a Manga adaptation drawn by Yukai Asada. SEGA calls the Manga “Kurohyou,” on their press release. The series will start being serialized on September 18th via Weekly Young Magazine (Issue 42).

If you want some recently released SEGA games and have been waiting. Get them now, for cheap. I ordered from Gamefly and the cases, manuals and disc look flawless.
PS3
360
Wii
The rest of the list is here. Happy shopping.
The game is hitting Japanese store shelves on December 2nd for ¥6,279 ($74).
If you pre-order it you get a pirate fan disc that will include a soundtrack with song samples, voice collection, PC and PSP wallpapers, and a high resolution video of the game’s opening cinematic. Sorry, no Disney movie starring Johnny Depp.
This is the part in the article where I write “This is a fake Shining game, this is a fake Shining game.”

If you are going to tease something on the launch of the Dreamcast, it best be Dreamcast related. SEGA has updated their site and said there is follow up information on September 9th. Hopefully its a title for the game or maybe that its really Shenmue 3. That would work.
Whatever it is, we will get back to you on the 9th with some Dreamcast articles and Yakuza news.
