If you have access to the Nintendo Channel, you will have the ability to download the demo for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. I think this is only for DSi’s, right? Either way, you can see what it looks like via the YouTube video above.
[Covers sort of look alike, cross promotion?]
Seems the Takashi Miike film titled “Like a Dragon” (the Japanese name for Yakuza series) is coming to America, over here it will be called Yakuza: Like a Dragon. The film cover even looks sort of like the cover for Yakuza 3, only better because the Yakuza 3 cover is uglier; they both share the same Yakuza logo.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is being released on February 23rd and you can pre-order that here. Yakuza 3 gets a March 9th release date, a must have pre-order.
As you may known NIS America have taken up the task of publishing Sega and Red Entertainments ‘Sakura Wars V: So long, my love’ in the West.
While Sega have passed up the chance to publish this game, It is still a Sega game at heart. So sit back and enjoy this five minute trailer!
The game releases at the end of March!
What is a better way of celebrating Valentines Day tomorrow than pretending that your video game girlfriend sent you a Valentines Day card? Nothing… is better… so print it out and hang it on your wall. This is what the card says:
“Hey, have you heard of Valentines Day? Well, if you don’t know, it’s okay. Here are some chocolatez. Why? I wonder why!”
Now you can also pretend you know Japanese. To top the evening off below we have a series of Reanbell angle shots that show her underwear. You know, for when the evening gets romantic. Hit the jump for that.
[Watching Kazuma sing is still a bit odd]
Seems that SEGA of Japan is having a retail tour, showing off a demo of Yakuza 4, but what good does that do us? None! But Toshihiro Nagoshi has talked about a PSN demo via his blog, saying it will be coming.
When? Well Nagoshi can’t say right now, but if it follows Yakuza 3‘s schedule we shall see the demo a week before the retail game is released. Nagoshi has also said that commercials and retail promotional videos for Yakuza 4 are already done.

SEGA is doing a series of developer dairies with Nagoshi about Yakuza 3. Must be weird, since he is also promoting Yakuza 4 in Japan. Isn’t that sort of like, time travel? He talks about his influences and the Japanese way of telling stories.
I mean, not much new but I just enjoy watching Nagoshi speak, in a heterosexual way.
Prepare for war! This is the ULTIMATE Multiplayer trailer for Aliens vs Predator! (According to its youtube title anyway.) I can’t argue, it does look pretty sexy.
The trailer boasts of 7 multiplayer modes including Infestation, Predator Hunt, Survivor, Domination, Death Match, Species Death Match and Mixed Species Death Match. Spliced togeather with some very gory scenes.
Finally it shows the release date, 19.2.2010. The game will be available on Xbox360, PS3 and PC.
SEGA have announced the release date to their new JRPG Resonance of Fate (Or End of Eternity in Japan). The new title comes from veteran RPG develop tri-ACE, known for their work on Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean. The game will be available from 26th March 2010, so if you’re interested in some gun battles spliced in with some role playing elements and strategy, you might want to check this one out.
That is right, the Nintendo DS Sonic Classic Collection game is getting a special edition version, the problem is that it is only for Spain and Australia. It is a shame since it looks really awesome. It comes with the following:
I will probably import a copy for myself, if I have extra cash I might get a few extra ones to give out? Is that something that you guys would like?
Did you know that the upcoming Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is coming to PC? I totally forgot, can you imagine the kind of exclusive character that Sumo Digital could have added? I would have voted for the paper clip from Microsoft Word! Though in all seriousness they have posted the PC specs for the game and here they are:
It is a known fact that all Virtua Fighter fans have been harping on about Virtua Fighter 5R since it was announced! Unfortunately, very few of them have actually been able to play it! Because so far it has only seen an Arcade release in Japan.
But Virtua Fighter fan site VFDC are looking to change this!

ThePatrick is known in the SEGA fandom in for his excellent translations of one particular series, Ryu Ga Gotoku, or Yakuza as we know it outside of Japan. Watch the Youtube video of his translation to find out what Kazuma is doing back in the world of Yakuza and the new characters he’ll get to meet along the way in Yakuza 4!
The achievements for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing were posted a few days ago, but it was missing the secret achievements; now the list is complete. As for trophies, I assume they will all be the same, it even has an achievement that acts like a platinum trophy called “Ultimate Collection.”
The names for the achievements are awesome, love all the SEGA references, it even has Project Rub. Kudos to the guys at Sumo Digital, they know how choose achievement names. Check all the achievements here.
SEGA has announced that they will be having a Valentine’s day sale on their PSN content; the games listed this time are the same as their New Years sale it seems. They promised that this time they will have bundles, something that was missing from the last sale.
Crazy Taxi, Full Auto 2, Sonic Unleashed DLC, Valkyria Chronicles DLC, and Sonic Rivals 1 and 2 have all been confirmed to be in the sale. Maybe SEGA will make a really nice Valkyria Chronicles DLC bundle for us.
