The screenshots for the new Valkyria Chronicles 3 have come out and some of them are gameplay. Not the above image, no. The screens are direct feed from the screens that appeared in the Famitsu scans.
The gameplay screens look OK, it is not PS3 game that is for sure. It isn’t the best looking PSP game either. I guess we will have to see how it plays, so far the second game is excellent.
Here is the trailer that we posted about, in its full U Stream quality glory. You can see that it has only been confirmed for Windows PC.
I really do hope we get a console version, for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. But it being on a PC is good enough for now.
[Update] SEGA pulled it out of our YouTube account. We have moved it else where. If they knock it from this site, we will upload it on our server [/update]
SEGA has just announced a new Kinect game, during Microsoft’s keynote. The name of the new game is Rise of Nightmare.
They showed a teaser of the new game, very hard to make out what the game is suppose to be like, according to live blogs online. Some people suggested it would be a ‘on rail’ type of game. Seems like the best way to control games on Kinect. Could be a game like D, remember that game?
The game is aimed at the hardcore, a dark horror game.

PRESS RELEASE AFTER THE JUMP!
Oh shi-
So I’m watching Sega’s TGS live stream which currently is just playing trailers for their upcoming games while no press conference is going on. I was just happily playing it in the background as I catch up on some work while minding my own business.
Suddenly I head something that fills me with nostalgia and fond memories. Pioneer 2, Spread Needles, Rappys and beautiful Caves 3 come flooding back; It’s the main (vocal) theme of the original Phantasy Star Online! What the?
I quickly Alt-Tab to the stream and what do I see? Phantasy Star Online, the original, what is this? Then it shows PSOv2 and proceeds to go though each game in order of release right up to the very newest announced game, Phantasy Star Portable 2: Infinity. I’m excited about the game so I continued watching but that wasn’t all. Right at the end… My mind was blown.
Phantasy Star Online 2
Release: 2011
Known system: PC

Apologies, article written at 3AM in a fanboy frenzy.
SEGA has launched their Dreamcast Reprint site, coming all the cool shades of orange. The site was launched to keep track of Dreamcast games being re-release on XBLA and PSN.
So far the site only has the obvious listed, Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi. The site does ask the readers, what’s next? I predict that Jet Set Radio is next, watch.

Yakuza’s first game into portable gaming gets reviewed by Famitsu? All the Yakuza games have gotten high ratings, did Black Panther: New Yakuza Chapter go down the same path?
Surprisingly, yes it did. Famitsu rated it 9’s down the board (9/9/9/9), not perfect but pretty damn close. Now we will see what they think of the upcoming Yakuza zombie game.

Seriously, seems that Nagoshi was serious when he said he could make a Yakuza zombie game. The latest screens in the newst Famitsu is filled with the undead.
Is this SEGA’s answer to Dead Rising? You know how we Westerners love our zombies. Should be a interesting TGS, Nagoshi posing with zombie hookers.
[UPDATE: More scans, including some gun action gameplay screens!]
It seems that the upcoming Valkyria Chronicles 3 is real and its coming to PSP. The game appears in the latest issue of Famitsu, under the PSP section.
We are unable to get scans of the feature, since NeoGAF forbids scans of actual magazine content (table of contents is OK). We should be learning more about the game come TGS.

While we here at SEGAbits can’t post every single image and video related to Sonic Colors as they appear (if we did that, we’d have to post about five posts a day pertaining to Colors), this one specifically caught my interest. While browsing the Sonic Stadium Message Board, I came across new videos of Sonic Colors multiplayer mode. Nothing really new compared to older videos of the mode, but I had a familiar feeling when watching the footage. What could it be? After a bit of back and forth with other forum members, we came to the conclusion that… (dramatic pause, unless you read the headline)
Hatsune Miku concert is heading to America for the the first time. If you are a vocaloid fan, seems like you are in luck.
When: Saturday, September 18th. 3:00PM – 5:00PM
Where: J-POP Summit Festival 2010. San Francisco’s “Japantown” neighborhood. in the area’s “NEW PEOPLE store”.
I myself am not into this whole Hatsune Miku thing, also not into SEGA’s PSP games they released. I guess there is an audience for this thing.

Check out this brand new trailer for Shining Force Cross: Raid, a sequel to last years Shining Force Cross, Cross Raid is made exclusively for the Arcade.
The game doesn’t share a much if anything with classic Shining games, game play or art style wise. In fact it looks akin to a Phantasy Star Online game play wise. However I think the game does look like good fun on its own merits. I wouldn’t hesitate to try it out if ever I had the chance.
However a return to classic Shining Force in both game play and art style is long over due.
I know what you are saying, another compilation of Genesis games, splattering the word classic to get me thinking about great games that powered my Genesis throughout the 16-bit wars.
After releasing a ton of stand alone titles on other digital services and disc based releases, SEGA tries to bring Genesis games to Steam. This is not the first time SEGA has brought Genesis games to PC.
