SEGADriven is a SEGA news and information source that focuses on SEGA's console history, retro games and new software hitting the shelves. We want to share a love of great, quirky, clever and down-right fun games - something that SEGA have always specialised in. See below for the latest news, reviews and features added to the website.
SEGA and Limited Run Games are teaming up again for a range of Dreamcast merchandise to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the North American launch of the Dreamcast.
The headline item appears to be a line of trading cards. They are also selling sleevs, a binder, and a storage box for the trading cards as well.
The same X user who leaked footage of the new Shinobi game has also shared footage of a supposed 2022 build of the new multiplayer-focused Crazy Taxi. This new Crazy Taxi title is still in development which means it may look very different to this leaked footage considering its supposed age. You can watch it on @Ryanfrombronx’s X (formerly Twitter) account by clicking the screenshot below:
Some footage reported to be of the introduction sequence as well as some in-game action of the upcoming untitled Shinobi game has leaked. There is no word on whether this footage is legit or not, but it’s an impressive offering that looks remarkably similar to the footage previously shown at the 2023 Game Awards. There is currently no word on the game’s official title, platforms it will release on or who is currently developing it at the time of writing.
Here’s some screenshots of the in-game action for you to browse as well:
While there is no official word on a developer at the time of writing, the art style is very similar to that of Dotemu, Lizardcube and Guard Crush Games’s Streets of Rage 4. Fingers crossed we get to see more of the game through official means very soon.
