How did I manage to miss this one!? A new game in the Zaxxon series has crept onto mobile devices! The game is called Zaxxon: Escape and unlike the orignal isometric shooter, this game is a third person, behind-the-ship affair (similar to After Burner) where you must tilt your device in order to squeeze through the openings. Check out the announcement trailer below:
The game is available to download now for iPhone, iPad and Google Play devices. A quick look on the iOS app store tells me the game is currently available for 69p in the UK.
A recent teaser trailer from SEGA is promising a re-release of Crazy Taxi for iOS. What’s interesting about the trailer is that it hints the original Offspring/Bad Religion soundtrack might be back. Take a look below:
Have SEGA finally managed to get the rights back for the original Crazy Taxi soundtrack? Only time will tell. The trailer mentions an October 2012 release so we shouldn’t be waiting too long!
The USK release schedule page appears to have just leaked announcements for Sonic the Fighters, Fighting Vipers and Virtua Fighter 2 on X-Box Live Arcade.
All 3 games have received ratings on the site which could mean that HD remakes of these releases are planned for XBLA. There is currently no official word from SEGA but looking at their recent release habits with the likes of NiGHTS into dreams, Sonic Adventure 2 and Jet Set Radio all getting revived it could well become a reality.
Platinum Games; the famed developers of SEGA published games Bayonetta, MadWorld and Vanquish have now entered an exclusivity deal with Nintendo. This is why Bayonetta 2 is being released for the Wii-U with SEGA acting in an advisory role only.
Platinum Games have also revealed a 2nd Wii-U title called ‘The Wonderful 101’. You can watch the reveal trailer below:
Platinum Games have also spoke about how they regret not handling the PS3 version of Bayonetta themselves and how the negative feedback they received helped them learn to handle both 360 and PS3 versions of their games in-house.

So yeah, apologies for the delay on this one! The Sonic Amateur Games Expo obviously ended on August 12th but because of me moving home this has been delayed!
Regardless, here is a run-down of the games we thought were the best at this year’s SAGE:
