Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns coming to Wii?

by


If you don’t know what LA Machineguns and Gunblade NY are, shame on you. They are light gun arcade games by SEGA and according to ESRB, SEGA is planning on bringing them in a collection, much like House of the Dead 2&3 Returns.

from ESRB website:

“This is an arcade-style first-person shooter in which players engage in missions to protect sections of New York and Los Angeles from enemy forces. Players aim targeting crosshairs on dozens of attacking soldiers, robots, missiles, and vehicles that explode when destroyed. Constant gunfire and explosions highlight the frenetic action; zoomed-in camera angles depict multiple projectiles striking the humanoid terrorist enemies.”

The compliation pack is suppose to be called “Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack” and exclusive as of now, for the Nintendo Wii. How about some Virtua Cop love next time?

Alpha Protocol achievements revealed

by


If you are a achievement/trophy hunter, then you will be thrilled to find out that Alpha Protocol’s achievements are not that hard; at least they don’t seem that hard.

It seems that there are about twenty secret achievements. I assume they are story related and they don’t want to spoil it, seems fair. The trophies are usually the same as achievements, with a Platinum added.

Teaser trailer for Neptune is now up

by


We reported the other day about how SEGA is teaming up with Compile Hearts to bring forth a new RPG that sounded a lot like Segagaga. Well, their teaser countdown is over and as promised, they have posted a teaser video.

Nothing really big, but it does show you some of the character designs and as expected its your typical characters you see from most JRPGs.

Metal Sonic & Death Egg Zone now on Xbox Live [update]

by


We know that this DLC for SEGA & Sonic All-Stars Racing came out early on the UK PSN store, that they had to take it down. Now it is up on Xbox Live (Europe) for 800 MS Points. Yes, we know that the DLC was taken off the PSN store, most likely will come out later today for PSN users.

Want to know if the new character and course are worth your hard earned Microsoft Points? Check out someone playing the DLC on the PS3 version above.

[Edit] AAUK is saying that there is a pricing issue with the DLC and not to buy it. I assume it was suppose to be 560 MS Points, not 800 MS Points. [/Edit]

Alpha Protocol – Dev Diary 7

by

The newest Dev Diary for Alpha Protocol is easily the best yet, it seems as though the graphics have been much improved upon and it shows a lot of interesting gadgets and things you can pull off in game.

Alpha Protocol has been on and off my radar for ages a now but I can safely say this video is the one that has swayed me the most into the ‘WILL BUY’ group.

Yakuza 4 pushes 480,000 units for March

by


Sales numbers for the month of March are in, Yakuza 4 dominated the competition to become the best selling game for the month, pushing an impressive 480,626 units.

Even though the sales count the whole month of March, Yakuza 4 came out on March 18th, so this is really just half a month of sales. We will have to see if the game has better legs than Yakuza 3. No signs if Yakuza 4 will be heading west, as of yet.

Project Neptune = Segagaga spiritual successor?

by


[More of this please!]

Compile Heart’s new project is codenamed “Neptune”, which has a teaser on their site and one of those fancy countdown clocks we all learn to loath. Famitsu though, has revealed the full title of the game to be “Choujigen Game Neptune.”

Nothing out of the ordinary or to resemble Segagaga, but the game is an RPG, set in the virtual world of “Game Gyoukai”, which is Japanese for “Game Industry.” The main characters name is Neptune who must stop the evil plot of Goddess Magicon.

Yes, Neptune is based on the name for the SEGA console and SEGA is publishing the game (or handling the sales side of it, according to AndriaSang). Double whammy! It is also confirmed that the game will have cameos by SEGA characters, just like Segagaga. The game will also have mock characters for well known publishers like Capcom and Nippon Ichi.

Oddest part of the whole thing? It is a PS3 exclusive, seems like we have been corrupted by DOGMA! (Segagaga reference)

Rumor: Yu Suzuki to show Playstation Move game at E3?

by


I think we have all asked ourselves, what happen to Yu Suzuki? It has been a long time since the man has released a video game. But according to a tipster at Go Fanboy, it seems that he might make his return at E3, showing off a new Playstation Move title.

According to the tipster, it will be a 1 vs. 1 combat game. He also stated that “Yu wants this to be about real human interaction and competition.” This could just be a Playstation 3 port of Psy-Phi or maybe something new?

SEGA goes crazy with “Lilpri”

by


Above is the new 15 second TV spot for their Lil Puritsu arcade game, which is a card game where the user purchases the cards and scans them into the game.

Obviously the game is not aimed at us at all, its a little girl game. Hit the jump to see the second advert showing a little Japanese girl playing the game, how exciting.

Rumor: Sonic 4 leaks lead to PartnerNet closure? [Update]

by


Update: DMNBT at Sonic Stadium has indicated that PartnerNET is back up;

“Quick update: PartnerNET is back online (actually it has been for a few hours already, I just woke up).”

Read the Original story below:

We all know that a ton of Sonic 4 leaks have happen in the past few months, those leaks came from the Xbox 360; namely their PartnerNet service. What is PartnerNet?

“PartnerNet is the name of the developers-only alternate Xbox Live network used by developers to beta test game content downloads, and games developed for Xbox Live Arcade. PartnerNet runs on Xbox 360 debug kits, which are used both by developers and by the gaming press.”

Seems that SEGA is getting really serious with the leaks. I think Microsoft should (don’t know if they do this) allow an option not to put your work on the PartnerNet network.

SEGA Studios San Francisco closes today

by

It is now official, SEGA Studios San Francisco is closing down today. Formerly known as Secret Level, they have brought us such timeless masterpieces such as Golden Axe: Beast Rider and Iron Man.

“SEGA of America is sad to announce the closure of SEGA Studios San Francisco. It is an immensely talented studio and we wish all the best to all of the staff in all their future endeavors. Moving forward, SEGA will continue to pursue external development opportunities all over the world and will continue to grow the renowned SEGA brand.”

They were working on Iron Man 2 and claiming it was going to be a ton better than the first game, but seeing all this drama; like being fired, I doubt it will be good at all.
