I saw this posted on Twitter by @IizukaTakashi. This is a quite an amazing revelation. Sonic Adventure 2 was inspired by a Pepsi game! Can you believe that Iizuka-san was inspried by Pepsi…?
In case you didn’t realize it yet, I’m not being serious. I wanted to share this video because i found it amazing, regardless of which game was made first, or if it’s even an official Pepsi game.
If you don’t know who DSP is I’ll give you a quick summary. DSP stands for Darksydephil, and he plays games on youtube and twitch.tv for living. He has somewhat of a short fuse and its funny to watch him play games.
DSP is entering the Iron Man of Gaming tournament at SGC, and in this video series he is training for Act 1 of Splash Hill zone since that is going to be one of the parts of Iron Man of Gaming tournament.
It’s the weekend, slow news time, so I thought people might enjoy these videos, something to watch if you are bored.

Yep, sounds like a very sexual title. YouTube user ModGyver decided to unite both consoles by ripping out the insides of his GameBoy SP and putting the insides into his Game Gear shell.
Now you have the luxury of playing Gunstar Super Heroes and not feel like you betrayed your true blue heritage.
If SEGA and Nintendo teamed up to release a limited edition Dreamcast design, they would have all my monies.
Oddly enough Sonic made it into Shirt Punch’s Super Smash League shirt design, which features all Nintendo owned IPs (besides Sonic of course).
In before “But man, Sonic was in Super Smash Bros Brawl!” Yes, we know. You can pick up the shirt here. It is only on sale for 24 hours, so get it while its hot.
Hey, just because SEGA has pulled support for the Dreamcast over a decade ago doesn’t mean there aren’t new things to play on the device. HUCAST games actually released DUX in 2009, so if you think you have heard of this title before you aren’t mistaken. This is the new 1.5 version of the title.
So what is new in DUX 1.5 compared to 1.0? Well they have a new soundtrack, rebalanced gameplay and even the option to respawn instantly after death (which is a big deal).
If you bought the original, the team is willing to upgrade you to the 1.5 version for free. How? They say take a picture of your copy of DUX 1.0 with a current newspaper. Who buys newspapers? If you want to take them up on their offer, hit them up on twitter.
You can buy the game here.
Being a game collector is tough, finding all those gems you loved from your childhood. But when you get them all together, how do you display them like trophies in your man cave? Well, Reddit user NintendoTwizer has found a pretty neat way of displaying his games. Custom made shelves.
Third place SEGAbits third anniversary contest winner nikibaby won herself a My Life with SEGA DVD thanks to these two cool photos showing off her unique drawing style. Of course, the contest rules stipulated that the entry would have to be a review, but we left it as open as possible, hoping to see some more unique takes on the guidelines of the contest. As such, nikibaby worked in a short, but sweet, written review of SEGA by proclaiming “I ♥ SEGA”.
But the real stars of the pieces are her takes on iconic SEGA characters Sonic the Hedgehog and Jet Set Radio’s Beat. Using nothing but paper and Sharpie markers, nikibaby depicted Beat by way of bright colors, hatching, and cross-hatching. Sonic, meanwhile, was expertly drawn using a technique called pointillism. Bonus points for not scanning the drawings, but rather displaying them in a photo alongside the markers used. You can see nikibaby’s Sonic drawing after the break.
Great job, nikibaby!
The guys over at Shirt Punch have another Sonic the Hedgehog related shirt going up tomorrow. The site sells 3 shirts everyday, but only for 24 hours and then after that they are gone forever. So if you want to get yours, make sure you go to Shirt Punch tomorrow, they are only $10!
This shirt is called Console Wars and is by Nathan Davis. The shirt should be up by midnight EST or 9PM PST. Tell us what you think of the design!
Have you ever sat down, played Sonic Generations and said “I want to play as a Penis”. Well you are in luck because some like minded pervert has released a rock hard cock mod for Sonic Generations. I don’t think I have to tell you that the above video is possibly NSFW.
Yakuza Fan website has decided to take a lesson from the book of the blue S and launch a Facebook sharing/like campaign to see if there is enough interest in a Yakuza 5 western release.
Over a week ago SEGA launched their own campaign for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F, stating if the image got enough shares/likes that they would bring the game over from Japan. That game is great and all, but we want Yakuza 5 and if you do too you should probably share/like the picture to help.
Go here, share and like the picture on your Facebook.
ShirtPunch is a website that has three shirts a day, but those designs will only be on sale for 24 hours. After the day is done, the shirts are replaced. Some shirts do sometimes get reprinted with minor changes. How much do they cost? About $10 dollars not including shipping.
Check the shirt out here. So, you like it?
I love arcade racing games and no one does them better then SEGA. So it is good to see a inforgraphic, from the good people at Liberty Games, released detailing all the fun and crazy SEGA arcade games that have been huge hits for the company. So what are you waiting for? Hit the jump to see the image!
The PC community is great, always striving to make their games look better even if the developers are incompetent. Right now there are two mod packs that are making this game look ‘less crap’ than it did before. The first one is the DirectX 10 mod packs that add some better lighting effects and soften those shadows. The SweetFX mod gives you a sharper texture filter, deeper color saturation and stronger shadows.
Sadly, the game will still suck. But at least it will be prettier to look at it sucking now.
Last year we presented a collection of print-and-cut-out SEGAbits themed Valentines, and this year we’re doing it again! We’re sharing these a day early to give SEGA fans time to prepare. Simply print, cut-out and give (or tweet or instagram or Facebook post) a SEGA Valentine to the man or woman in your life, and pretty soon they’ll be on you like an E-19 Egg Keeper (Sonic Adventure enemy reference, look it up). Have a happy Valentine’s day tomorrow!
After the break, double your love by checking out our Valentines from last year.
