The above is a Border Break action figure (NOT A TOY!) that is coming out on July 24th. The toy will be exclusive to Kotobukiya Shop online store and retail shops. (retail shops if you live in Japan)
The action figure will run you at 3,675 yen ($40 USD), that is a small price to pay to have a plastic toy of a game you will probably never play. Unless SEGA is nice and ports it over to consoles.

VersusCity.net has come across what looks like a flyer for the upcoming Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. Apparantly many sources say this is the real deal, and it leaks a bit of interesting information about the upcoming arcade game and the new features it brings to Virtua Fighter.
Hit the jump to see the translation of the flyer from versuscity.net!
If you buy them on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 of course. This is backed up by both product pages on PSN and XBLA.
No idea of this is native resolution or upscaled. I have decided to drop SEGA an e-mail and wait like a rabid dog all weekend for a response. I hope the answer is yes.

[Image has nothing to do with trademark ]
SEGA has trademarked KINGDOM CONQUEST via the European trademark database. What will the game be? The forums have been buzzing from anywhere to a new Total War game to a Sonic game.
Your guess is as good as ours. Could even be one of the 15 Xbox 360 games that SEGA has planned for the year. Hit the jump to see all the details about the trademark.

SEGA shared plans for this fiscal year already and one of those was software release plans. SEGA plans to release 15 Xbox 360 games, while PS3 and Wii will only get 11 titles released.
SEGA also expects 360 to be their biggest platform in software sales, with 2.66 million units. For PS3, SEGA expects 2.52 million units and Wii SEGA expects 1.55 million units.
Someone, somewhere has discovered something awesome, Sega have recently registered a new websites.
Currently the site isn’t ‘working’ there is nothing on it, but the URL already gives away some interesting clues as to what’s going down.
Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram sold well on XBLA and it was recently revealed that the game is indeed profitable. So it only makes sense to bring more Virtual-On too the service.
Roll on Virtual-On 4 Force! This is actually the 3rd game in the series not the 4th as you may think from the title. The 4 in the title actually stands for something far, far cooler! Because in VO 4 Force you can play 4 player! As far as I can remember this is a 2vs2 affair.
At the moment we are going to file this under rumour, but even at this point it seems fairly likely.
Their countdown site is titled “next-360action”, assuming the game will be an action game exclusive to the Xbox 360. Maybe its Yakuza series coming to the platform?
Who knows, I guess we can all sit down and throw some guesses out there. Check the site, right here. SEGA is suppose to be dropping hints via their twitter. Assuming its their Japanese account.

Adam Hughes does comic book females in a sort of pinup model fashion. You can see that in this piece he did for Bayonetta.
He says that he was comissioned by SEGA, though he does not know what they will be using it for. They probably won’t use it, Kamiya probably doesn’t think he has enough love for the character. You can leave a message for him at his DeviantArt page.

SEGA has recently closed the Virtua On Blog, with an update by Yasushi Yamashita, who said that the game has reached SEGA’s targeted sales goal. He did not say how much it sold, just that it has sold far more than the ‘rumored’ sales figures that are floating around (but did not say how much those where either!).
VOOT was already known as a success the moment it came out. Microsoft has announced it was the top selling XBLA game of 2010 and is the second best selling XBLA of all time.
There will be one more post made, after Yamashita’s and then the blog will close for good. Yamashita and the VOOT porting team have moved on to a new project, after the release of the game in April of last year. They then went and worked on the excellent After Burner Climax.

I guess Hideki Kamiya, director of Bayonetta, has never heard about rule 34 because he is shocked that someone would make pornography based on Bayonetta.
It seems there’s pornorgraphic doujinshi based off Bayonetta… There are fans who will resent that, and I hardly think those responsible [for the doujinshi] hold any love for the game…
Kind sir, it has been out ever since you showed off the game in 2008. That is what happens when you put a sexy female in your game.

The new trailer for Black Leopard: New Yakuza Chapter is almost clocking in at 6 minutes, tells the story of the upcoming spin-off PSP game.
The trailer shows off how the cutscenes will be played off in the full game. Wondering what the trailer is saying? Well, hit the jump to read the translation, provided by the guys over at AndriaSang.com. Also a look at the voice talent.
I’m one of those guys that does not think Yakuza is much like Shenmue, I think it have small elements that barrow for Yu Suzuki’s amazing game, but much different in the end. What does Nagoshi have to say about the comparisons?
“Fans are free to judge the game as they like. All of these games were created by SEGA. We might have included game elements from past titles unconsciously. But all of those elements appear in an evolved style.”
I dunno about “evolved style”, Shenmue had a better weather system on the Dreamcast and more varied character NPCs. Just saying. You can read the SPOnG interview here.
A new game play trailer for High Voltage Software developed Tournament of Legends.
The game looks a bit like a poor mans Soul Caliber and doesn’t really inspire me.
I feel Sega should have stuck with publishing the Conduit games only. While the Conduit was nothing to write home about, it wasn’t a bad Wii game and sold well enough to be profitable for Sega.
Want to test the game out for yourself? You can go ahead and download the demo on Xbox Live. You can read my review here, if you haven’t already.
The demo will let you choose from either Iron Man or War Machine. According to the Xbox Live website, the demo weighs in at 1gb. Make sure you have the space.
