You know you all want to play Sonic Generations and now it’s been confirmed by Takashi Iizuka at the Sonic Boom fan event that that there will be a demo.
I think we all expected a demo and I assume the demo will be the Green Hill Zone stage with classic and modern gameplay. Whatever stage they choose, it will be awesome.

I’m still on the edge about voice commands in video games. The reason? They never work out and are just stupid concepts. Regardless of how I feel about this, Nagoshi’s newest title will have voice commands for squad members. If you have Kinect, you will be able to use that.
Oddly enough, Playstation Eye, which also has a microphone, has not been confirmed to be supported.

So this is pretty awesome, GameSpot snagged a nice long interview with ‘new guy’ (yeah, I’ll learn your name in due time… When you live up to Aaron and Ken!) and the game director Hiroshi Miyamoto.
You can see the entire walkthrough of Green Hill Zone and City Escape in both modern and classic gameplay. It looks pretty great! Part one is above and hit the jump to see part 2!
The port of the highly successful The House of the Dead: Overkill is to get a large amount of new content. Destructoid confirms that the Extended Cut is due to not only have new levels as confirmed beforehand, but new zombies, weapons, and even audio tracks. There has also been a new mini-game added that occurs during cutscenes. It is safe to assume that those who are thinking of double dipping for this version can be justified in knowing that they will not be buying the same game twice.

I admit, I haven’t used the Move too much. Most of the launch games didn’t really appeal to me, and I’ve only gotten KZ3 for it since. HotDEC, despite being a port of the Wii version, looks to be one of the best Move exclusive games coming down the pipe.
Awhile back SEGA announced it would be releasing a collection of SEGA Genesis titles, mostly titles already out on XBLA. If you are a Playstation Plus subscriber, these games where free. But since only Sonic and Sonic 2 have been released, when will the rest?
Playstation Plus:
If you don’t have Playstation Plus, here is the regular schedule. Playstation Plus basically get the games a week early.
Straight from E3 are a couple videos of SEGA’s survival horror Kinect game Rise of Nightmare that showcase a range of gameplay elements such as covering your ears to stop loud sounds and the various ways to interact with the world of the game. Check after the break for a longer video of the game. Rise of Nightmares is slated for an October launch.
So you are waiting for big software to hit the 3DS? What will you play this summer? You could spend some time with Game Gear classics, thanks to SEGA. They announced that the following five titles will be released this summer, no specific released dates yet.
GG Shinobi is actually quite an excellent title. A bit weird, since you can play 5 different colored ninjas, but fun.

Here is a demonstration of Virtua Tennis 4 being played on Sony’s new handheld console PlayStation Vita.
Here’s the Captain American: Super Soldier CGI trailer from E3, I’ve got to admit the trailer looks pretty cool but I’m not expecting a whole lot out of the game unfortunately.
Feel free to prove me wrong Sega!
Here is a walkthrough for Sega and Platinum Games’ next title ‘Anarchy Reigns’. Anarchy Reigns is an online brawler starring many characters from the black, white, and red ultra violent Wii game MadWorld.
The spots of lag from the last time the game was shown seem to have cleared up and it appears to be running pretty smoothly.
The upcoming Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita game by Vanillaware started life as a Dreamcast game. Famitsu had a 4 page interview with director George Kamitani.
The project started about 13 years ago after the team released their SEGA Saturn title “Princess Crown” (Published and developed under the Atlus banner). This game was supposed to be its successor on the Dreamcast. George Kamitani says games like Golden Axe and King of Dragon have influenced this game greatly, and has confirmed 4 player co-op.
Feels good seeing people finish up Dreamcast projects, even if they’re not on Dreamcast. How about we get a polished up version of some of these great canceled DC games?

SEGA already announced their Virtua Tennis 4 port to Playstation Vita. Right after that, SEGA said they had 4 unannounced games that they’re working on. What could these titles possibly be?
Hard to know with SEGA but I assume one could be a sequel to the Yakuza side game the PSP got. Whatever it is, I’m excited to find out.
Should also be a good TGS for SEGA this year.

Here is a feel good CGI trailer featuring Nintendo and SEGA mascots going at it. Seems that the fans love these games since they buy them by the truck loads.
I’m a bit tired of this Olympic stuff. I think they should just make a mini game compilation, the Olympic license isn’t selling these games. While we wait for that game, we can watch this trailer for Peach in a skimpy outfit and Amy for her slow motion Baywatch part.
SEGA has put up some new screenshots for Sonic Generations’ City Escape level. There are also some 3DS screens of the game that we’ve seen scans for before. But these are direct shots and look much better than the scans.
Also super HD box art that we showed you before. Isn’t that exciting? Hit the jump to view.
