Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns coming to Wii?


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 Packand exclusive as of now, for the Nintendo Wii. How about some Virtua Cop love next time?

SEGA goes crazy with “Lilpri”


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.

Virtua Fighter meets Street Fighter


Check out SEGA of Japan’s new April Fools video for Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. They are showing the new gameplay, but does it remind you of another game?
