Title: Recent SEGA games set in space
Post by: Spock on July 12, 2016, 09:01:01 pm: I used to love playing games about outer space. At one time, SEGA had a lot of space games like Stargate on Genesis. I really would like to see more games in this genre. We're there any that were recently released other than Sonic games?

Post by: Berto on July 12, 2016, 10:56:49 pm: If you still have an NDS (or you could just use 3DS instead) you could play Infinite Space.
That game has many good reviews
and there is an 2016 Exclusive Re-Stock Version of it for the price of $49.99 CDN (39.46 USD).

Post by: pcm92 on July 13, 2016, 06:10:13 pm: What's with the thread title? Is it supposed to be "Brand spanking new space game?" I wouldn't mind seeing a Sega Star wars game. I mean, EA sure can't make a good one. Personally, I think Sega needs to put out more games in general. They didn't really announce that many at E3 this year.

Post by: crackdude on July 14, 2016, 08:11:40 am: I think it's just that the concept of space is really spanking.

Title: Re: Recent SEGA games set in space
Post by: Barry the Nomad on July 15, 2016, 02:32:18 pm: I thought it meant they literally made new copies, but yeah... it is kind of confusing.

Wait. What?

If they made new copies, that would be Reprints, not Re-Stock.
And permission from SEGA would be needed which it's gonna be a long process.
So I guess Centrale's description (found a bunch of these in the back of the warehouse that we'd forgotten about) is more accurate.

Also could be from some collector.
I have a friend who had 50 copies of Asian version of Megadrive's Virtua Racing, all still in mint condition.
He never tell me where he got them all, but one day he needed to make a room for his collection, so he sold them $3 each to his friends.

All of you work together at the same SEGA?
What's going on here?

Yeah, Barry, Berto and Centrale. Explain yourselves.

Title: Re: Recent SEGA games set in space
Post by: Spock on July 18, 2016, 04:19:27 pm: I'm just confused by the relevance of "exclusive restock" in a thread about video games in space.
Title: Re: Recent SEGA games set in space
Post by: Centrale on July 18, 2016, 04:43:22 pm: It's simply something I noticed on the advertisement for Infinite Space. I would say it's relevant in the sense that it relates to the ongoing sales of a Sega game set in space.

Well.. Okay. I got a confession to make.
You know Sonic The Hedgehog Twitter account that became popular recently this year?
Well.. That wasn't run by me.
That's Aaron Webber.

Lol, no. It's because of this pic :

See.. this is one of the best SEGA handheld games and it's about space.
You guys should've played it because every time someone doubt the greatness of this space game, SEGA pushes back the release of other space games like Phantasy Star Online 2 and Phantasy Star Nova by another month.

Post by: Spock on July 18, 2016, 09:34:24 pm: Ah. Ok. I get it now. Previously, I thought that picture was just an ad.
Title: Re: Recent SEGA games set in space
Post by: pcm92 on July 19, 2016, 09:08:45 am: I still think the Star Wars game idea would help Sega compete against EA. I miss playing games like Jedi Academy and the KOTOR series. We haven't had a good Star Wars game since 2009.
Title: Re: Recent SEGA games set in space
Post by: Spock on July 19, 2016, 01:53:14 pm: I agree, but I would rather see a new Trek game first. The reasons are obvious.
