SEGA To Release Dreamcast Collection At Retail, Publish One More Game From Platinum

by

The news from that Game Informer interview has been pouring in today. We posted the interview scan on the site days ago, but didn’t mention much about the actual news!

Earlier in the week, Alan Pritchard spilled loads of beans about SEGA’s future. Perhaps most surprisingly, he let slip that they where making a Dreamcast Collection, something we revealed was listed on GameStop’s website. It was only listed for the Xbox 360. Given it’s cheap price, it’s likely that this may just be a retail release of the XBLA Dreamcast titles. For more info on the listing, check the link.

Pritchard also revealed that another Platinum Games title was being produced in collaboration with SEGA. So we now know that the deal will expand to at least one more game.

To see the interview in full without looking at a scan, look here.

Oh God! Kinect + Hatsune Miku = your perverted fantasies

by

Hatsun Miku fans are the odd, probably odder than Sonic fans. Actually no, they aren’t odder, just a different type of odd. Here is another PC Kinect hack that will send the freaks flying. OpenNI, Kinect and MikuMikuDance software, you can move her 3-D model around. Its not perfect, like the lower body tracking.

Regardless, pretty interesting stuff. I guess this will sell some Kinect units in Japan. Maybe SEGA will be interested in bringing a official game over? Here is another video to fap to.

New Yakuza announcement coming Thursday

by

Are you ready? The Yakuza website is teasing an announcement for Thursday? What could it be? Most of their announcements are always quite obvious, a new game in the series most of the time. Another PSP game?

Maybe they will port this one to the Xbox 360? How long have we heard people hope for that. Would be good, at least in America. Could be the Yakuza of the End release date, since Japan hasn’t gotten a official date.

VGA Thor: God of Thunder debut trailer

by

Yeah, I watched this year’s VGA show. How was it? A lot better than the other years. SEGA even had a game at the show, isn’t that great? Well, I wish it was something more ‘amazing’ to show, like the Sonic 20th anniversary project or something.

Regardless of what I want, here is your trailer. You can moan below about how the graphics look amazing that it gave you a head rush.

Alan Pritchard, SEGA West’s VP of marketing and Sales, had a interview with Game Informer in the latest issue. One of the questions asked was if Aliens: Colonial Marines was still coming out. The short answer? Yes.

“Colonial Marines . We’ve been working closely with Gearbox behind the scenes, and we’ll be able to tell

“We have a number of 3DS titles in our line-up for next financial and calendar year. There’s four or five existing franchises, one or two from the old Sega IP locker, and we’re looking at one or two new IPs as well.

It should be noted that in the same interview, Pritchard also mentioned that at least three Sonic titles will be revealed next year. Perhaps Sonic will be one of those existing IPs.

Big Man Japan – This is Sega Related

by

So to cut a long story short, my friend stopped over at my house the other day, with DVD in hand. Raving about this ‘great movie’ we just had to watch. It’s called ‘Big Man Japan’ I knew nothing about it at the time and now that I’ve watched it… I’m still not convinced I know anything about it.

But I do know that this scene is awesome. Enjoy!

If this is relevant to your interests. It’s called ‘Big Man Japan’ and it is subbed in English.

Browser Sakura Wars game gets details

by

We posted before about the upcoming new Sakura Wars game, only issue its a browser game, not a console one. I can feel you rolling your eyes as your read that, but listen to details of the game first! The game got an offcicial name, “Sakura Taisen Taishou Roman Gakuentan.” Whatever that means. The game is also confirm to take place in Daiteikoku Gakuen or Imperial Academy.

Below in the gallery, we have artwork of Imperial Academy and some ‘gameplay’ shots taken from the trailer. If you want to view the trailer, head over to the main Sakura Wars site. OK, maybe not that much new information, but some info is better than none.

Super Monkey Ball 3DS Trailer

by

The first trailer for Super Monkey Ball 3DS has arrived.

There isn’t a whole lot to say about the trailer, you can’t tell how well the 3D works on a PC monitor so I can’t really comment on that. I do, however like the tropical sounding music going on!

I’m more interested in this Monkey Ball then other recent ones however, as this one’s being developed by the original team in Japan. One thing I will mention is that I hope those red rails that stop you falling out of the level do not stick around past the first few stages. I want at least SOME challenge!

Finally I really, really hope that the mini games are fun and fleshed out again. I don’t know about anyone else but the mini games in Super Monkey Ball 1, 2 and Deluxe are what kept me and my friends coming back time and time again. In more recent monkey in ball related outings the mini games have been quantity before quality, often serving as more of a tech demo for what ever control gimmick they have been designed around and not fun mini games.

Let’s hope we can trust the original team to get the (monkey) ball rolling again… Yeah, I went there!
