Crimson Dragon, the spirtual sequel to Panzer Dragoon may be on its’ way to X-Box 360 soon, but we’re not really sure. However, those itching for a bit of new-school Panzer Dragoon action have now had their prayers answered in the form of Crimson Dragon: Side Story.
The Windows Phone game takes the form of a 2D shoot-em-up and is available to download now in the US for $0.99 and UK for £0.79 (no word on European pricing). The game appears to be Windows Phone exclusive at this time but we’ll let you know if the game becomes available for iOS and Android devices.
Yukio Futatsugi’s spiritual sequel to SEGA Saturn classic Panzer Dragoon (known as Crimson Dragon) briefly had a demo made available on the Japanese X-Box Live Marketplace before it was quickly taken down by Microsoft.
The game is not going to be published by SEGA but SEGA fans may want to keep an eye on Crimson Dragon due to its’ connection to Panzer Dragoon. The appearance (and disappearance) of the demo means that the game must be nearing completion.
Crimson Dragon is a Kinect-only X-Box 360 game and will presumably launch this year.
A sequel to Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing has been confirmed. The next game in the series is named Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (note the exclusion of ‘SEGA’ from the title) and it will be released on X-Box 360. No other word on release platforms is available at this time but Playstation 3 will likely be considered seeing how the first one was also released on that platform.
New features confirmed for the game are:
Gliding and water-based racing
Terrain that changes as the race goes on
Panzer Dragoon and Super Monkey Ball themed courses
Richard Jacques has contributed to the soundtrack
New characters include Vyse from Skies of Arcadia and Gilius Thunderhead from Golden Axe
