Why didn’t anyone tell me you could download DS demos? Too bad I don’t live in Europe. A demo for Sonic Colours has been posted in the Wii’s Nintendo Channel.
The demo lets you play through Tropical Resort Act 1 and try out the white Wisps.

You can now download the Sonic Fan Mix demo from the link below. The demo has 1 zone that spans 3 acts. No boss battle has been included.
Personally I haven’t played it yet, but I would love to hear what you guys think. Leave your feedback in the comment section. This is the same one I posted the screens about, which I called Sonic 2 HD. Sorry, the name is ‘Sonic Fan Remix’.

The demo will be coming, but only the Japanese version. Luckily I pretend to know Japanese so everything will play out just fine. The demo being released for the game will continue the story of the TGS demo, which we never played. The demo will include two missions, one has you retake a mountain base. Those that are getting the Japanese version will unlock special bonuses from playing the demo.
Date for the demo has not been given.Valkyria Chronicles 3 will be hitting PSP spring of next year. Now where is that western release date?

Sonic 2 3D fan project has released YouTube videos and we all assumed that we would never actually get to try it. There is a thing about Sonic fan projects, most of the time the users give up on them.
But it seems the guys behind Sonic 2 3D have bigger plans and are thinking of releasing a demo next week, according to a user from NeoGAF. The Demo will be for PC of course.
To help with the wait, have some screenshots.

You can now download the second Vanquish demo from the Japanese Xbox Live Arcade and Japanese PSN. So if you haven’t already you need to make a Japanese account.
This is as simple as creating a new XBLA or PSN profile and setting your location to Japan.
This new demo dubbed ‘Challenge mode’ is made specifically for the ‘core’ gamers and the name pretty much sums it up. You must survive 5 waves of enemies and do it in the quickest time with the most points.
From what I have read around other forums some people are finding it hard just to finish! But that wont be a problem for us hardened Sega gamers right?!
[Update] Turns out it is XBLA Gold account only so unless you have a Japanese gold account you are screwed.
Vanquish director Shinji Mikami and producer Atsushi Inaba announced at TGS that they will be having a second demo for their game on Xbox Live and PSN. When? September 22nd. This demo will be called “Vanquish Challenge Mode Demo”.
This second demo is suppose to be for the hardcore fanbase, thus it will be more difficult. The date is obviously for Japan, no dates for the U.S. or Europe, but if we have a repeat with the last demo announcement, we will probably get it a few days earlier than Japan. I hope!

Here is a trailer for Vanquish made by a fan, it is comprised solely of game play found in the recently released Demo. (Available on XBLA and PSN.)
Not only is it a pretty cool trailer, but it should give you some pretty good ideas and tips on how to play Vanquish creatively. It sure made me want to boot up the demo again and give some of these moves a try!
As of now the US Vanquish Demo is up on XBOX Live. Go download the demo and tell us what you think! Gold members only. The download clocks in at just under 500MB. The PS3 demo should be up later today whenever Sony decides to update PSN.
PSN usually updates in the afternoon, so don’t expect it up anytime soon.
4Gamer has the link to download the upcoming Black Panther: Yakuza New Chapter demo. The demo clocks in at 192mb and is obviously all in Japanese.
You don’t need a PSN account, just go here and scroll down till you see what you see above. Click that button, download and enjoy.
It seems that the Vanquish demo has been confirmed for PSN and Xbox Live on September 2nd. Only issue? Its for the Japanese store only, that this has been confirmed.
Not a big issue seeing as the game does not seem to have that much dialogue. Get your Japanese accounts ready!

UPDATE: The Sega Europe blog has just announced that the demo will hit XBLA and PSN on 31st August for North America, across Europe on 1st September and Australia on 2nd September. Check out the SEGA Europe Blog for the full description of the demo’s contents.

The US PSN store has just been updated and PSP SEGA fans got a treat, a Phantasy Star Portable 2 demo. Last time they got Valkyria Chronicles II, now Phantasy Star? Good times.
The game is suppose to hit retail on September 14th.
The demo for Valkyria Chronicles II will be hitting US PSN later today, I just checked at the time of posting this and the store hasn’t updated yet. Should be in a few hours, I personally can’t wait.
RubyEclipse has confirmed on the Playstation Blog that the Western release of the game has gotten extra content.
“Among the many stickers that you can get for your tank or vehicle, we’ve added in a few brand new ones that both old and new SEGA fans are sure to smile at. Those of you who loved the first game will also be happy to note that we’ve included a few original characters as unlockable Easter eggs, just like in the Japanese version.”
The game comes out August 31st in America, make sure to pre-order your copy and play the demo… in whatever order you choose.

Want to test the game out for yourself? You can go ahead and download the demo on Xbox Live. You can read my review here, if you haven’t already.
The demo will let you choose from either Iron Man or War Machine. According to the Xbox Live website, the demo weighs in at 1gb. Make sure you have the space.

The new corporate trend is to show off how many people have downloaded your demo and it seems that SEGA is joining the club, now boosting AVP numbers. 4.1 million people have downloaded the demo, many of those have went out and purchased their own copy.
This beat out EA’s Battlefield Bad Company 2 demo that boosted 3.5 million downloads.
If you have a Japanese PSN account and can’t wait to try out the next Yakuza installment, now is your chance to try out the demo. The demo is available for free on the Japanese PSN. Enjoy!
I can’t tell you much about the demo other than its 1.8gb in size, so make some room. I’m actually downloading it as I type this.
