3DS collection SEGA 3D Reprint Archives is launching on the 18th of December in Japan and now you can see gameplay of each game in the collection via this new trailer, direct from SEGA’s Japanese YouTube channel. Check it out below:
SEGA 3D Reprint Archives features 3D conversions of Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone, Out Run, Ecco the Dolphin, Streets of Rage and Shinobi III as well as re-releases of the Master System 3D-glasses versions of Space Harrier and Out Run. The collection is currently Japan exclusive.
SEGA have unleashed a new Persona 4 Arena Ultimax trailer which takes a closer look at Aigis in action. Check it out below:
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is released this month on the 21st for PS3 and Xbox 360. The game was developed by Arc System Works, famous for the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue franchises.
The cult-classic, 3rd person strategy game will be re-released on PC courtesy of SEGA but sadly that’s all we know at this time. We’d speculate that Hardlight Studio are behind the port as they previously ported The Creative Assembly’s Viking: Battle for Asgard to PC back in 2012.
SEGA have promised more information soon but other than that it’s pretty exciting to see that one of the PS3′s underrated gems is now getting a wider release.
First 4 Figures have revealed a 22 inch high Dr. Robotnik statue. This statue marks First 4 Figures’ biggest statue yet and the price reflects this; a whopping $399.99. The reason for the increased size is Robotnik has been made “to scale” so he stands taller than First 4 Figures’ Sonic and Metal Sonic statues for instance. Check out the statue below. We love the look of classic Robotnik and that expression is excellent:
You can pre-order the Robotnik statue from First 4 Figures’ website. The statue is limited to 1000 pieces and will start shipping in quarter 2 2015.
The brand new trailer for The Ghost Blade (now shortened to just Ghost Blade) that was teased a few weeks back is finally live and you can watch it below:
Ghost Blade is in development at Hucast and will launch on Dreamcast in 2015. You can pre-order it in 3 different editions from the Hucast store.
We’ve spoken about Centiment in the past because the British metallers have quite the penchant for old SEGA games. Their debut album Streets of Rage released earlier this year and features the songs Defenders of Oasis, Bloodshot and Zero Tolerance.
Now the band embark on a UK tour in December in support of their new EP, Retro. Creatively titled The Retro Gamer Tour, the band are setting up multiplayer Mega Drive action at the merch desk of every show on the tour.
If heavy music with a retro gaming twist is up your street then you might want to catch Centiment on one of these upcoming UK tour dates:
In what has to be one of the most peculiar decisions regarding Sonic Boom, the CG animated series that ties in with the video games will air in Europe in Autumn 2015 despite the games based on the series being released in November of this year.
The Sonic Boom cartoon airs in North America and France later this year which ties in nicely to the releases of the Sonic Boom video games which act as prequels to the series. The closer release windows for both the series and games in these territories are obviously designed to compliment each other and boost sales of the game as well as interest in the show.
So how does SEGA Europe intend on promoting the Sonic Boom games in the rest of Europe now the cartoon as fallen to late next year? Only time will tell but we’d bet some serious cash that the games are not going to sell as well in this territory when compared to France and North America unless SEGA Europe are willing to put some money into a big marketing campaign.
Having a man scream, “HEEEEEROOOOOOOOO BANKUUUU” will never get old for me. Below is the new trailer to Hero Bank 2 and it features a load of new gameplay footage as well as colourful anime lunacy, a lot of shouting and a child being flushed down a toilet for good measure. This game has it all:
Hero Bank 2 is a turn based fighting game and will launch on 3DS on the 27th of November. It is currently Japan exclusive.
Above you will see the cover art for the new SEGA 3D classics collection SEGA 3D Reprint Archives. The game will be exclusive to Japan and will include the 3D ports of Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone, Out Run, Ecco the Dolphin, Streets of Rage and Shinobi III that were released on the 3DS eShop.
What’s really interesting about the collection is the 2 new inclusions that are exclusive to the collection. Remastered ports of the Master System 3D versions of Space Harrier and Out Run will also be included. These games were originally released for SEGA’s 3-D Glasses peripheral that worked with the Master System. Only 8 games made use of the peripheral and this is the first time any of the games have received a port to another system.
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2 is getting an expanded Western release under the (currently working) title Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Remix.
The 3DS title has been announced as a 5th anniversary release and will include new elements that were not previously available in Project Mirai 2. The game is due to launch some time in 2015.
