The website Electronic Theatre has reported that Rise of Nightmares has been delayed throughout Europe and won’t make its promised debut next month. So when is it coming out? According to the site, there is no release date set.
The reason I’m running it as a rumor is because I never heard of this site. None of the bigger sites have confirmed it, SEGA hasn’t confirmed it either. But will I be shocked if its delayed? No.
Obviously, I love me my SEGA. Why else would I be writing for this place? But just because I love them, doesn’t mean I can’t be a little bit peeved with them when it comes to a few things. In this week’s Weekly Five, I’ll be going down my list of areas in which SEGA is slacking.
SEGA is still making Shining games, their last entry was the PSP title Shining Hearts, so don’t be shocked if you see Shining Blade announced for the Playstation Vita. Of course, all Shining games have stayed exclusive to Japan.
As for more information on the title we don’t know. I guess it might be announced next month at TGS.

[Part 1]
I’m sure any avid PSO fan remembers that not so long ago there was a media briefing in Japan for Phantasy Star Online 2, given by the games producer ‘Dragon Sakai’ (Satoshi Sakai). The problem with Japanese media briefings is that, well, they’re in Japanese, a made up language that nobody really understands, similar to talking in tongues.
Thankfully fans exist and so the fan dub was born and so at long last we can present the entire Media Briefing subbed in English. The briefing was translated by Jeremiah Bourque while Ian R. Justman and Velocity7 who did the audio editing, and subtitling, so give them all a round of applause!
Hit the jump for part 2 and part 3 of the briefing!
Another trailer fresh from Games Com 2011, check out the Anarchy Reigns ‘Multiplayer Anarchy’ trailer. The character designers over at Platinum Games went wild with this game and the combos are stylish and brutal another of Platinum’s calling cards!
The trailer shows off game modes including Death Match (kill everyone), Survival (team up and defeat the horde) and at the end of the trailer what looks like a hint at some kind of Vs. American football style game with weapons! The trailer also shows that you can pick up items and weapons from the battlefield and use them against your enemies! Yet another similarity to Power Stone!
Anarchy Reigns will release in January 2012 for Xbox360 and PS3.
NLifeNintendoMag gives us our first peek at Mushroom Hill in Sonic Generations for 3DS. All the badniks and traps from the original version are included. In fact, I believe it’s very close to the exact same level design too. Personally, I’m still not feeling it for the classic gameplay in 3DS, but we’ll see how things improve as we move closer to release. I’m really excited to see some modern video as I really enjoyed modern gameplay of GHZ back at E3.
Sonic Generations 3DS is currently scheduled for a late fall release.
It’s Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games… What a mouthful!
If there is something I don’t think anyone could fault Sega for, it’s their very impressive CGI and Mario/Sonic/London as I’m now calling it does not disappoint on the CGI front!
A great trailer and hopefully a great game! Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games will release for the Nintendo Wii on November 15th in North America, November 18th in Europe and the DS version will release Febuary 2012.
Sega has already announced that they will have two games ready for the launch of the Playstation Vita, Virtua Tennis and an unannounced title which is widely believed to be Sonic Generations. Today possible new details have emerged in the forum of a list detailing games in development for the PS Vita from various 3rd party publishers has leaked and guess what? Yep, Sega won’t disappoint!
Hit the jump to find out what they are!
A brand new trailer for Sega and Avalanche Studios new IP, Renegade Ops!
Renegade Ops is a throw back to the great vehicle shooters of old like Jackle and Desert Strike, only now with awesome HD graphics and all the other bells and whistles like online 4-player Co-Op and 2 Player split screen! I think the game looks awesome myself, this trailer primarily focuses on the upgrades and perks you can use to boost your vehicles performance but it’s the online multiplayer Co-Op and combo system that have really got me excited to get my hands on this game, not to mention it’s on Steam, always a good call!
Renegade Ops will be available on XBLA, PSN and Steam on September 12, 2011. Don’t miss it!
This is exactly what Europe is like!
From SEGA Press and Sonic Stadium comes eleven new screens from the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations. But wait! These aren’t the same ol’ stages that we’ve known about, this is a brand new reveal! Straight out of Sonic & Knuckles comes Mushroom Hill featuring both classic and modern gameplay, set in both the green act 1 and the autumn colored act 2. It looks like classic Sonic will be taking the green sections of the zone, while modern Sonic will be taking the orange sections. Many of the gimmicks return including bouncy shrooms (I can hear the “boing” sound now), mechanical pulleys and helicopter plants. Check out the screens after the break!
The new trailer for Sonic generations is titled ‘Two Sonics’ and is suppose to show off the fact that the game will have retro 2D gameplay with modern 3D sonic. Not only that it shows off the new tails models and even classic Robotnik.
Also unveiled in the trailer is Rooftop Run from Sonic Unleashed and Seaside Hill from Sonic Heroes. Feels good, man. Though I rather have Emerald Coast than Seaside Hill.
Well GagaMan is at it again (actually he was at it a while back, we’re just late with sharing it), in order to celebrate Sonic’s 20th Anniversary on time. DCJY dusted off their copy of Sonic Adventure 2: Birthday Pack and gave those who still haven’t owned it a definitive look at one of the most cherished Dreamcast Collectibles.
The review is even more spectacular, it echoing my own personal perspective towards the Gamecube (well that’s what the next Generation of Sonic fans grew up on).
Whether you like it or not a new Generation of fans have grown up on it, with just as much nostalgia for it as we have for the old games _ Master Gaga.

Mike Hayes has confirmed that SEGA is planning on having 2 titles ready to release at Playstation Vita’s launch. One of the games is obviously the Virtua Tennis 4 port.
“On Vita, we can came out pretty early on and said we were going to give support to the hardware.
And we will have at least two titles at the launch of Vita. When exactly that’s going to be of course, we don’t know, but we’re assuming it’s going to be by the end of the Sony financial year, we guess, so we’ve got that.” – Mike Hayes, CEO of SEGA West
I would think it might be another port. I would not mind Valkyria Chronicles 3 for the West with trophies.
