SEGA in the Media: Detroit Lions Superstar Duo Nicknamed “Sonic & Knuckles”

by

During the run of this 2024 season, the Detroit Lions have sparked success in having their best overall regular season start at 8-1 and it is partly thanks to running back’s dual-threat duo: Jahmyr Gibbs (#26) & David Montgomery (#5). But what has added to their fun of winning is their newly dubbed nicknames: Sonic & Knuckles, respectfully. Memes and even fans are starting to get into the names and it isn’t just for show. With Gibbs’ elusive speed combined with Montgomery’s bulldozing tenacity, the RB pair have a combined 15 TDs and over 1200 combined rushing yards as of Week 11.

Steal This Look: Jet Set Radio Future’s The Latch Brothers

by

This article is probably too late for this Halloween, but there is just 365 days until the next Halloween so you now have plenty of time to prepare!

Remember the Smilebit Xbox classic Jet Set Radio Future? Remember the wild music from The Latch Brothers? If you don’t know about the musical group, I wrote a retrospective article back in 2015 that is well worth a read. But if you want a quick refresher:

The Latch Brothers were an elephant, a lion and a rabbit in lab coats. Behind the scenes, and occasionally revealed in magazine articles from the time about the new artists joining JSRF‘s soundtrack, The Latch Brothers were Michael Diamond, Tick, and Wag. Michael “Mike D” Diamond (known in the group as “The Latchin’ Duke”) is the most well known of the trio, having been a founding member of the New York City hip hop group the Beastie Boys and co-founder of the record label Grand Royal.

Limited Run Games’ SEGA Dreamcast Trading Cards: Are They Worth the Cost?

by

It’s no secret if you read this blog that I’m a big fan of both SEGA Dreamcast and Limited Run Games. So, the idea of both of them coming together into a 25th anniversary collaboration should have me giddy with excitement. I was hoping that Limited Run Games did have something planned for the anniversary because they recently put out Sonic x Shadow Generations Limited Edition and Valkyria Chronicles on the Nintendo Switch up for sale. Today, they announced the SEGA Dreamcast Trading Cards. That’s right, with ‘over 200 to collect’.

First of all, we all know what trading cards are and their gambling and addictive collective nature that drives some hobbyists into bankruptcy. That’s why I think that people who create trading cards should be very careful about limitations, production, and pricing of these cards. With that said, let’s look at what the people over at Limited Run Games have to offer.

by

You may remember us reporting on Parking Garage Rally Circuit, an upcoming indie racing game coming soon to Steam, which is styled after a Sega Saturn game and could actually become a Saturn game if it gets enough sales on Steam. After that article, I have reached out to Tim of Walaber Entertainment, the studio developing Parking Garage Rally Circuit, for an interview with the man behind the game. He has kindly taken time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions about the game for all our readers.
