SEGA Europe have also uploaded a teaser trailer to their YouTube channel:
Now here’s a welcome first for SEGA! The Sonic Colours soundtrack ‘Vivid Sound x Hybrid Colors’ is to be released on iTunes in North America and Europe! Game soundtracks are becoming more and more difficult to find on Western shores so the digital distribution of the Sonic Colours soundtrack is a welcome alternative.
Here’s the pricing for both North America and UK:
Individual tracks: $1.29 / £0.99
Per Disc: $9.99 / £7.99
That’s a massive saving on importing and you don’t have to risk getting a massive custom’s charge (I got stuck with an additional £20 on top of the original £40 order; ouch!).
NG.DEV.TEAM, the developer behind such great new Dreamcast games as Last Hope: Pink Bullets and Fast Striker have announced another new game called GunLord.
Apart from a teaser site, there isn’t much information on the game other than it promises to let the player “Jump. Shoot. Explore” and is being advertised as “A Jump N Shoot Action Game”.
Prope, the studio funded by SEGA and lead by Yuji Naka, have announced Rodea: The Sky Soldier. The game will be released for Wii and 3DS but no date has currently been set.
The game is meant to be the spirtual successor to NiGHTS into dreams… and follows a similar gameplay style based on flying. Rodea also adds an on-rails shooting element to the gameplay which is also very reminiscent of the Panzer Dragoon games.
There is currently no word on whether SEGA will publish the game or not as SEGA opted out of publishing Prope’s last game, Ivy the Kiwi?
Platinum Games are developing a new game for PS3 and 360 to be published by SEGA called Max Anarchy. The game is described as “massively multiplayer melee fighting action” with a large focus on online play.
Screenshots in Famitsu magazine show characters in battle with chainsaws and torches. Jack from MadWorld appears as a playable character but is rendered in full colour instead of black and white.
It is scheduled for a worldwide release in Autumn 2011. SEGA have promised more information on the game “later this week”.
Sonic 2 HD; the fan-recreation of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has released a brand new teaser trailer. The trailer shows some of the first footage of the fan-game and promises the release of a playable alpha version ‘soon’. Check it out:
Well this is a bit embaressing, but SEGADriven has suffered a rather severe database error. Dreadknux and Bman have been working very hard this evening trying to get SEGADriven back up and running but there’s a strong possibility that we may have lost a large amount of data.
If all goes well, Bman should be able to restore an old backup of the site and we’ll have it in a decent condition soon. Please be patient!
Big thanks to Dreadknux and Bman for sorting this issue out! I’d be well and truly knackered without them! Stay tuned to SEGADriven as we’ll be resuming normal operation next week!
Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5 Part 2 and SEGA Bass Fishing. How convenient? That’s the same 4 titles that have been or are being released on X-Box Live Arcade and Playstation Network!
The collection will be released in Europe on February 25th for X-Box 360, PS3 and PC. It will also be enhanced with achievements/trophies and online leaderboards.

Whilst browsing the internet recently, I discovered that the guitarist for one of my favourite bands is a bit of a gamer geek. The chap in question is Ol Drake from the thrash band Evile. His channel has a few heavy metal re-imaginings of video game tunes but this rendition of the Jungle Zone theme from the 8-bit version of Sonic 1 really stood out:
