Here is a trailer for Vanquish made by a fan, it is comprised solely of game play found in the recently released Demo. (Available on XBLA and PSN.)
Not only is it a pretty cool trailer, but it should give you some pretty good ideas and tips on how to play Vanquish creatively. It sure made me want to boot up the demo again and give some of these moves a try!
If you haven’t been in the loop, the Playstation 3 got jail broken with a USB device. After it was jail broken strange new articles started popping up. One said that jailbroken PS3’s could play PS2 games.
If that wasn’t great, a couple of guys have decided to port NullDC (Dreamcast emulator) to the Playstation 3. Apparently they got the bios running. No YouTube video or pictures have been posted, that is why its a rumor. Sadly the emulator does not play sound yet. To check out the code, hit the source site.

It is almost September 9th, what better way to start off this month with an awesome picture? It almost brings a tear to my robotic face.

Here is a nice concept video created by a fan to show what Sonic & Knuckles could look like in 3D. Pretty impressive, I hope SEGA is listening!
A modder, by the name of Evil Nod has put a Nintendo 64 into a Game Gear skeleton. Not only did he get the N64 in there, he also got the controller. So it has full reworking controller and a N64 crammed in there. What else could he shove in? How about a ram expansion pak? Yeah, he put one of those in there too.
Now, can someone do the same thing, with a Dreamcast? That would rock.

That’s right! The great people over at nightsintodreams.com have scored an interview with the man behind some of the most beloved Sega characters such as Sonic, Ristar and of course NiGHTS.
Being NiGHTS fans and not just the normal everyday press tools they got in some pretty good NiGHTS related questions that I recommend giving a good read over.
Like, did you know Steven Spielberg was the first person to play NiGHTS out side of Sega staff? What?

I love me a good ol’ fashioned gaming marathon, and I was excited to learn that an extremely long one involving the Sonic the Hedgehog series has been underway for 12 hours already! Held by the folks over at the Bonus Stage Marathons blog, their goal is to play all sorts of Sonic games for 72 hours in an effort to earn $1000 for the Baltimore Humane Society. As of writing this, they’re already 34% to their goal. The marathon continues through the 11th, so I’m sure they’ll make their money. Good luck to them!
Check them out on USTREAM, and save some kitties and puppies while you’re at it.
If for some odd reason, you have to play Super Mario Bros. on your SEGA Genesis. Now you can! Thanks to a kind soul that ported the game over to the 16-bit blast processor.
I’m pretty sure this would have been a bigger deal if it was the days of the ’16-bit war’, but Genesis does what Nintendon’t and now does what they do as well. Take that! The game is titled SMB4MD, standing for Super Mario Bros. for Mega Drive. Makes sense. Also can’t work with Genesis hardware yet, only emulator.
I remember the stories about Yuji Naka making a working NES emulator for the Mega Drive back in the day, seems like everyone else is just catching up.

A Facebook petition has just started. The goal? To get SEGA Racing Classic ported over to XBLA and PSN. If you didn’t already know, SEGA Racing Classic is basically Daytona USA in 720p and running in widescreen.
If you want to join the petition, it is up via Facebook.

You guys all know I fucking hate camping and anything with the word camp in it, but I love great SEGA games to come back, even as a port. The boys and gals over at NiD.com have started a campaign to get NiGHTS into Dreams ported to XBLA and PSN.
Why are they all serious about this now? Next year is the 15th year anniversary of the Nights franchise. They even launched its own website to show that they are serious, go to NiD15.com. Looks better than this site, fuck!
Think this is a bad time to start our campaign to port over NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams to the PS3 and 360?
Even though SEGA released their own racing game, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, doesn’t mean SEGA characters can’t crash Sony’s Modnation Racers party. Since the game features some pretty deep create a character tools, it was expected that a SEGA fan would create their favorite characters in the game.
Our forum member Monkeroony has done just that. Creating Sonic, Shadow, Beat, Aiai, and even Ryo Hazuki. If you own the game, search for his creations or you can check them out here.
This is what a Bayonetta as a virtuaroid would look like. It really makes me miss the real Bayonetta and her sexy curves. This was posted up on the Official Platinum Games forums. They even have a House of the Dead: Climax Edition.
Made by IGN’s Retro devision. 3D Dot Game Heroes is a throw back to retro titles with a weird, cube like graphical effects (3D pixels, if you will). The game has recently been released in the west by Atlus, on the Playstation 3.
Good to see that retro, especially 8-bit focused, get some SEGA love. Usually Nintendo hogs up all the spot light.
If you own the game, you can import IGN’s Master System characters (Opa-Opa and Mick), download here.

All of us here at SEGAbits love huge collections and we all love the Dreamcast. So what about a super rare Dreamcast collection? Sounds like fapping material. Well it basically is.
bel303 over at the AssemblerGames forums has posted his Dreamcast collection and it is very very impressive. Go over there, stare and be jealous.

Its bad enough that you probably watch video game related television, visit video game sites and listen to video game music all the time. What about cooking? Can we turn that into a geeky chore? The answer is yes.
Mealtime Strategy blog has a ton of receipts for video game related foods, yes SEGA related foods. Is that some Sweets of Rage? Would be prefect for Easter you know!
