With release of the game only a few weeks away, SEGA has released another new trailer showcasing the bosses from their next mainline Sonic titles. The short trailer has virtually all the bosses and rivals from the title and hints at the final boss in the end. It is interesting to note that classic Sonic only has two boss battles announced thus far into the game, whilst modern Sonic has four boss battles.

Above is a satirical look at what Sonic Generations’ plot will most likely be. Not saying that the game will be terrible, but let’s be honest… Sonic Team isn’t the best at writing video game material.

Review: Thor: God of Thunder (3DS)

by


SEGA’s Marvel games line up is one big missed opportunity. When I first heard that SEGA had managed to get the game licenses for all of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, I could only imagine great things. After all, Activision had managed to turn its Spider-man license into a quality, long running, successful franchise. Surely SEGA could do the same! As we all know by now, this turned out not to be the case. However, in a sea of trashy movie games there have been a few bright spots. A few of the games have managed to be pretty decent. Thor 3DS is one of them.

For those of you who where disappointed that Shinobi 3DS didn’t star the awesome Joe Musashi, don’t fear, he is unlockable. He was also unlockable in the PS2 game called Shinobi as well.

Weird? They say Joe Musashi came before the hero in Shinobi 3DS, but the hero in this game is supposed to be Joe’s father, no?

Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary Trailer

by

Sega’s popular (in Japan) puzzle series Puyo Puyo marks it’s 20th anniversary this year and Sega is putting out a new Puyo Puyo game for PSP, 3DS, DS and Wii this year (again, in Japan). Western Sega fans may know this game more when it was Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine. Don’t expect to see any of these Puyo Puyo games reach the states as the market for them here doesn’t exist.

by


Hatsune Miku Project Diva has been making a ton of money on both the PSP and Arcades, but now the franchise is going to come to the Nintendo 3DS. The game tentatively being called “Hatsune Miku Project Mirari” (Mirari = future).

The game will obviously be supporting 3D, but that isn’t all. The device will support Augmented Reality cards. Basically, you will be able to get cards, that you put on a surface like your table and when you point the 3DS camera you will see a Hatsune Miku concert. AR concert is what SEGA will call it.

The game is scheduled to come out around March 2012 in Japan.

New Generations 3DS Stage Revealed PLUS HD Birthday Picnic

by

From The Sonic Scene comes two special screens from Sonic Generations. The first, seen above, reveals a new stage for the 3DS version of the game: Sonic Adventure’s Emerald Coast! While I had thought they would have gone with a stage from Sonic Advance instead, I much prefer this. Unless, of course, this is actually Neo Green Hill from the first Sonic Advance with the whale thrown in. I’m interested to see if they copy the modern layout verbatim, or offer up something new. The second image, which can be seen after the break, might be a spoiler to some, as it appears to be from the opening cutscene. Want to see it? Continue on!
