There’s not a lot to say at the moment, but a Japanese teaser site has revealed that SEGA, Capcom and Namco Bandai are teaming up for a new 3DS project. The only information regarding the project so far is the bare-bones teaser website which you can access via this link: CLICK HERE
Not really a lot to go on, is it? Something tells me we aren’t going to hear much else about this title until the Summer (E3 most likely) as well, but we’ll update you on any news regarding this extremely interesting project as we get it.
SEGA has released a free to play RPG for Android devices called Fallen Realms. The game is available to download now with bonus quests exclusive for the Valentine’s period. Check out this list of features:

– Journey alone or add party members — including other Fallen Realms adventurers!
The game can be downloaded from this marketplace page or by simply searching for ‘Fallen Realms’ in the Android marketplace.
We can finally see what Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 will look like! And what a surprising turn of events this is; the game now uses a fully 3D engine instead of using pre-rendered graphics for the foreground tiles and items like the previous game. Check it out:
Eagle-eyed Sonic fans will be intrigued to see Metal Sonic riding the rocket that Tails flies from Sonic the Fighters; nostalgia!
Also confirmed for the game is 2 player offline and online co-op play with Tails. This isn’t your standard Sonic 2 type co-op play either; Sonic and Tails have unique combination skills and attacks that give them a greater advantage than they do alone.
A demo of Binary Domain will be available on the X-Box Live Marketplace and the Sony Entertainment Network on Wednesday the 15th of February.
Full press release below:
“LONDON AND SAN FRANCISCO (13 February, 2012) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that the demo for the much anticipated third person, squad shooter Binary Domain™ will be released to western markets on February 15th 2012.
Xbox 360® and PlayStation3® players will experience the world of Binary Domain by playing through two of the Rust Crew’s early missions set in near future Tokyo. You’ll take command of Dan Marshall and work together with a squad of teammates from an elite International taskforce who watch and react to your every move. Gamers will have to fight highly intelligent robotic opponents and will also get the chance to try out Binary Domain’s ground breaking Consequence System. This system allows you to interact with and influence teammates in a variety of ways never before seen in a third person shooter, By using voice recognition in combat and non-combat situations players have a more natural dialogue with their allies, one which affects their behaviour and attitude.
Now is your chance to see into a Binary future and begin your journey into the machine age with the demo arriving on both formats from February 15th 2012.
Binary Domain is a pioneering third-person squad shooter from the creators of the Yakuza series. Set in near-future Tokyo where climate change has caused many living in the lower city of Tokyo to live in poverty. With a central branching storyline, voice recognition in combat and conversation and AAA shooter mechanics Binary Domain offers something genuinely unique to the genre.

The official website of the Summer of Sonic fan convention is now live! There’s not a lot more information other than what we already knew, but it’s certainly looking snazzy!
The 5th annual Summer of Sonic convention takes place on the 7th of July 2012 in the ‘London area’. Specific details about the venue are said to be coming ‘very soon’. Get pumped!
Big news from the SEGA Blogs today as both Summer of Sonic and Sonic Boom are confirmed to return this summer.
Summer of Sonic will be a collaborative Sonic convention between SEGA and fans (as per usual) and will happen in the “London area” (UK) on Saturday the 7th of July. The venue has not been confirmed at this time and the official website www.summerofsonic.com will go live on Monday the 6th of February.
Sonic Boom has also been confirmed in San Diego (US) during the week of the San Diego Comic Con which runs from the 12th to the 15th of July. Once again, the venue has not been announced yet so there’s still more news to come regarding both events.
EDIT
Reader ‘mtwinny’ has kindly notified us that Sonic Boom is being held at the San Diego House of Blues. I’m glad someone reads these things! Thanks man!
SEGA’s official Aliens: Colonial Marines page is now listing the game’s release date as ‘Autumn 2012’ which means the game has been delayed. The game was due for a ‘Spring 2012’ launch but the lack of noise in the Gearbox camp should probably have made this delay a little more obvious.
The official London 2012 video game is now… well official! Lots of info on this one so we’ll shut up and let SEGA do the talking.
First up, Fly Through Olympic Stadium Trailer:
Secondly, the first trailer for the game:
And finally the full press release below:
“LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (January 17th, 2012) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. & SEGA® of America, Inc., are excited to announce further details for the upcoming London 2012™ – The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games. Favourite Olympic events make a welcome return in 2012, with the addition of new Olympic disciplines, improved modes of play and motion control support for PlayStation®Move and Kinect™ for Xbox 360®. Available for PC, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, London 2012™ will be in stores for June 2012.
For the first time in an officially licensed Olympic video game, London 2012™ will support motion control in a number of different Olympic events. Budding sports heroes will have an enhanced and realistic way of competing in a number of events that are compatible with PlayStation®Move and Kinect™ including 110m Hurdles, Beach Volleyball (Kinect only) and 25m Rapid Fire Pistol (Move only). Over 30 Olympic events have been authentically recreated in their official Olympic arenas with a host of new disciplines making their debut for London 2012™. Keirin (Cycling) at the Velodrome, 10m Synchronised Platform (Diving) at the Aquatics Centre and Trampoline at North Greenwich Arena are just some of the new events in which you can compete for that coveted gold medal.
In another first for this iteration of the video game, London 2012™ will take the world’s biggest sporting event online in the form of global leaderboards. The leaderboards will track personal medals gained whilst playing online, with each personal medal won added to that nation’s medal table. Every medal won will help to improve a nation’s standing in the leaderboards, creating even more moments of sporting glory and fame across the globe. London 2012™ will contain a number of game modes including single player Olympic Games mode, online and offline multiplayer and party play.
“London 2012™ sees the successful relationship between SEGA, ISM and the IOC become even more exciting in the run up to the 2012 Olympic Games”, commented Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA of America who decided to work with local marketing services to reach more people. “With all new Olympic events and returning favorite sports brought to life with the very latest video gaming technology, everyone can truly compete in the greatest sporting event on earth”.
