Vanquish demo coming September 2nd

by


It seems that the Vanquish demo has been confirmed for PSN and Xbox Live on September 2nd. Only issue? Its for the Japanese store only, that this has been confirmed.

Not a big issue seeing as the game does not seem to have that much dialogue. Get your Japanese accounts ready!

Sakura Wars creator teasing announcement

by

Ohji Hiroi, creator of Sakura Wars, was the guest honor at a Sakura Wars pachinko event held in Asagaya. During the show, Ohji Hiori teased an upcoming announcement.

“Next month’s Famitsu might have something interesting to see. Platform or something like…“

This does not mean that Sakura Wars 6 will be announced, maybe it means they are releasing Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love in Japan on Wii. You know, since that version was ported just for the US release.

Green Wisp spotted in action!

by

The nice people over at revogamers.net have managed to record or find a recording of the green wisp in action!

The green wisp seems to turn our blue hero into some kind of green, floating rocket which you can control for a short period of time. Another fun looking addition which once again opening up new game play possibilities, serest routes and hidden areas to unlock.

On another note, what is the deal with those red rings spread though out the stage? What do you think or hope they do once you collect them all? Personally I hope they unlock new ‘challenge’ stages that revolve around using the wisp powers.

New Pink Wisp Ahoy!

by

Sega today revealed a brand new WISP! This is the pink wisp as you can probably tell! He is exclusive to the Wii version of Sonic Colours and gives Sonic the power to roll on any surface! That includes up walls and on the roof!

I’m totally down with this power up idea actually… It gives Sonic more variety with out being overbearing like some of the previous gimmicks and opens up a lot more interesting game play.

Virtua Tennis 4 in action

by


German SEGA fansite, SEGA Stuff, went to Gamescom, even though SEGA refused to go themselves. Good thing they went, since there was a new SEGA game announced, Virtua Tennis 4.

Above is the video of them playing and it seems that they missed the ball. I guess motion controls are not better than the regular controller. I mean, the whole zoom to first person? No thanks. That is just me.

In Memoriam: Strange Mine Cart

by

Another negative of Sonic 4 has been nixed with a recent update to the official Sonic 4 sites (US, EU and JP). The update details the second zone, Lost Labyrinth, including previously heard music, new badniks and eight screens from the zone’s three acts. The screens show acts seen in the leaked footage, such as the rolling balls and an underwater segment, but what hasn’t been seen before is the supposed revamped act 2!

Ryuji Goda joining cast in next Yakuza game

by

The main villain from Yakuza 2 will now be the fourth playable character in the upcoming Yakuza game. The game has not received a name as of yet, but its safe to assume it will be titled Yakuza 5.

“The fourth main character for the next Yakuza game is Ryuji Goda, in his first appearance since Yakuza 2. There has been much demand for his reappearance. This character, who was born as a rival character who gives off a powerful aura, is at last appearing as a main character. Of course, the manly, brawny appeal of Ryuji will be in place. We’ll also be telling a after story for Yakuza 2.” – Toshihiro Nagoshi

I assume you play him in a flash back or the character has flash backs during the game? Makes sense I guess. The other 3 characters that have been announced are Goro Majima, Kiryu Kazuma and Shun Akiyama. More information should come to light at TGS next month.
