Console Heroes Partners with SEGA® to Launch "The SEGA Circular Challenge," a Real-World Tribute to 90s Gaming Hype









Quote
Running September 12–14, 2025, the campaign invites fans to download and "clip" a retro-inspired SEGA flyer — The SEGA Circular — and redeem it at participating retro game stores across the U.S. for one free Console Heroes collectible. These collectibles are miniature dioramas that are hidden inside replica Genesis game cartridges, each one opening up to reveal a 3D scene from legendary SEGA titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog™ 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Altered Beast™, and more. While supplies last, one per customer.
"It's more than a giveaway — it's a shared memory brought to life," said Andrew Yanofsky, co-founder of Console Heroes.
"We wanted to bring back that specific moment — when you saw a deal in a flyer, brought it to your parents, and made your case. Now, instead of 'maybe for Christmas,' fans actually get ..."

Retrospective: Beep! Mega Drive magazine







Quote
When it comes to Japanese video game magazines, Famitsu is the title that everyone knows. First launched in 1986 to cover the Nintendo Famicom, it’s the elder statesman of games journalism, and is still going strong to this day…
Which is great. Congratulations all round. But there’s not much I can add to that conversation.
Instead, we’re going to turn our attention to something a little more niche…
For a brief period in the early 90s, it was home to some of the best magazine cover art you’re likely to come across. A technicolour fever dream of jazz-era influences and abstraction.
The alternative is to commission a specific art piece for ...

Previously released for Switch.








Quote
The Legend of Steel Empire is a 1992 shoot ’em up for the SEGA Mega Drive and 2004 for Game Boy Advance developed by HOT-B, recognized for its distinctive diesel-punk aesthetic, combining elements of steampunk and late 19th century industrial design, setting it apart from other shoot ’em up games.
In this iconic original, mammoth battleships cruise the skies, and armored locomotives carry cannons the size of railway cars.

The Legend of Steel Empire marks the latest entry in the ...
