From what I can gather this trailer highlights multiple DLC releases including six new ‘Hard EX’ missions which will release for 200 Yen ($2.40) each and two additional ‘Story Episodes’ at 600 Yen ($7.30) each.
The Story Episodes will allow you to play as fan favorite characters such as Alicia, Wekin, Isara and Edy as well as some new weaponry.
Meanwhile here we are in the West still waiting for the vanilla game, hurry up Sega!
Check out these amazing screens! I wonder if this game is powered by the Hedgehog Engine? Sure looks like it might be.
Hit the jump to see the screens and gameplay video [update: and details!]
[Update: It’s over! I’m desperately trying to find a video of the trailer that was shown, but in the meantime you can look at my low quality screenshot!]
Well… it’s not exactly PSO2 just yet. Just a bunch of Japanese people talking and playing PSP2… but this is where the PSO2 footage is supposed to appear. So keep your eyes peeled!
This isn’t the official stream btw, just a fan stream of the official stream. So you don’t gotta worry about limits or moonspeak!

[American Theme/European Theme]
If you didn’t know, SEGA is selling tons of rare swag on ebay. Nice right? To help promote this, they are giving a free PSN theme away. The theme comes in two flavors, European and American.
What is the difference? The European Dreamcast had a blue swirl, thus the theme is more blue and the American had an orange swirl, making the theme more orange.
Since PSN is down, download below:

Someone buy me a copy of Shenmue signed by Yu Suzuki, please?

I confess, when I first heard about Pier Solar back in 2008, I was both excited and cautious. On one hand, the prospect of playing a new game on my Genesis sounded like an awesome proposition. On the other, I simply didn’t believe the game would get done. As the originally announced release date faded into memory, I assumed the game had simply gone the way of many a Dreamcast indie project, and forgot about it.
The game surpassed my expectations though, and has actually made it all the way into my Genesis. Even as I ordered it, I had my doubts about the game being anything more than a stereotypical role playing game that just happened to be on the Genesis. Has the game been able to surpass my expectations again?
Yep, it’s the Conduit 2 launch trailer. ‘Best Wii Shooter of 2011’ so says the trailer.
Apparently it’s still a race if you’re the only one running.
In all fairness it actually looks quite good! The first game didn’t really appeal to me, but this one looks much better.
First the Dreamcast prototype controller and now the VMU idea? No more words need to be said, now we wait for the announcement and the word innovative to be thrown around.
When Resonance of Fate was first announced, SEGA pledged ten years of support for the franchise. I assume this meant they were going to make more than one of the games. The game received a good metacritic score, but didn’t sell a million copies. SEGA has been tight lipped and tri-Ace hasn’t really announced any new games being developed…
But they did update their website with a new engine they are working on. The scene being rendered is not a specific game, just used to show off the new lighting and shading. If you read up on it, it says it was rendered running real-time on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, at 720p. More info can be found here.
So, the question is, would many of you guys be interested in a sequel to Resonance of Fate running on this engine?

The company that is doing the official replica glasses for Bayonetta can’t keep them in stock, they should be having a new shipment in tomorrow. But that is not stopping them from adding a new product to the line…
Up for pre-order (if you live in lovely Japan) is a replica of Jeanne’s glasses. Jeanne’s glasses are aviliable for pre-order for the price of 26,250 yen (about $320.53). If you think that is pricey, the Bayonetta version runs you back 31,500 yen (about $384.64).

From French gaming sites Gamekult and jeuxvideo24 comes information on Puyo Puyo’s 20th anniversary game. That’s right, Sonic isn’t the only one having a birthday in 2011. A translation of one of the articles reveals quite a bit of information. First off, the game will be for the Nintendo DS. There will be 15 variations on the rules, such as rules from Sun (the third game) and Fever (the fifth game). Also, the game will include a tag team mode, featuring two on two play. It also sounds like you will be able to purchase items in a shop mode. Very cool!
This weekend some kind of information regarding the long awaited Phantasy Star Online 2 will be revealed! This reveal will take place at the ‘Thanks Festa’ (Japan) on 4/24/2011 JST.
You can watch the Festa live along with the Infinity Grand Prix on Nico Nico, a Japanese website similar to YouTube. (Provided that premium members don’t nab your seat first.)
I will be watching with bated breath, I don’t care if they only show a photo of a Japanese man enjoying PSO2 from afar, I’m far to excited about this game! BRING ON THE WEEKEND!
The Ivor Novello awards, which only nominates British (or Irish) composers, is back this year. They do awards for stuff like TV, Movies and even, in our case, video games. Nominated for best game soundtrack? Napoleon: Total War.
So what’s the competition? Enslaved got nominated and so did 007: Blood Stone. Guess who the composer for the 007 game is? Richard Jacques, who also did a lot of music for SEGA, including the latest Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing soundtrack.

It actually doesn’t have to be a Sonic shirt, but the person that did the guide actually used a Sonic shirt, so it’s enough to share here with the fans. This process doesn’t even require sewing, so you can stop calling your mom.
You can us the bag to store your retro SEGA games, controllers or even Sonic comic books. Yo dawg, I heard you like Sonic….
All the pixel junkies, come in here now. SEGA has released the sprites for their upcoming Thor video game on the DS. Let’s be honest, this is probably the first time a multiplatform game will be the best on a handheld. This one is being done by competent developer WayForward Technologies (A Boy and his Blob & Contra 4).
See SEGA? This is the type of stuff I enjoy playing on my DS. Now if you will excuse me, I will be sitting here drinking my Thor branded Dr. Pepper.
