SEGAbits have spotted a rather interesting product listing at Gamestop.
A ‘Dreamcast Collection’ for the X-Box 360 has appeared with a retail price of $29.99. The product is currently listed with a release date of February 15th, 2011.
If this is a legit collection it seems like an odd thing to do as SEGA have been attempting to increase their digital market with the release of several Dreamcast games for X-Box Live Arcade and Playstation Network.
Will this collection simply contain Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5 Part 2 and SEGA Bass Fishing? We’ll be keeping an eye on this one as it’s certainly an oddity.

Yu Suzuki, the SEGA legend that has been MIA for sometime now is gearing up to release Shenmue City, a new mobile phone game only available in Japan. No plans are currently underway to bring the game to the West but more importantly, what is happening with Shenmue 3?
When questioned Suzuki has responded with, “I want to make 3 with the same volume as in the past.”
“Shenmue has the image of grand scale, but making something of grand scale requires appropriate preparation. I want to make 3 with the same volume as in the past. There have actually been a lot of requests from fans for 3 as well. There were even petitions signed by tens of thousands of people. I wanted to carry out my obligations for the series.”
The Shenmue series is based on an 11 chapter script that Suzuki wrote prior to the original game’s development. Putting the remaining chapters into one game is something Suzuki will “have to consider” if Shenmue 3 goes into development.
“It would be possible to finish the entire story in a single game if we were to show just the highlights and skip over parts,” said Suzuki.
The future of the Shenmue series is currently in the hands of Shenmue City; if the game performs well SEGA will do “additional things” with the series. Could that mean the green light for Shenmue 3 or a Western release for Shenmue City? Or could it mean something different all-together? Shenmue: Forklift Racing anyone? Only time will tell…

According to information gathered by Nintendolife.com, development of House of the Dead Overkill 2 is well under way and is expected to be released “sometime early or mid-2011″.
“Details on the game are still undisclosed, but what we’ve been told is that a title codenamed House of the Dead: Overkill 2 is being worked on, which we assume is for Wii and potentially PSMove,” said the site.
Exciting times! The original House of the Dead Overkill is still one of our favourite Wii games and held the Guiness World Record for most f-bombs in a video game.

The bonkers Compile Heart RPG ‘Super Dimensional Game Neptune’ that was published by SEGA in Japan will be coming to the West. The game is loosely based on console wars and contains numerous references to past SEGA titles. NIS America will be publishing it in North America. NIS America Inc, Europe will also be bringing the game to Europe.
However, the game will be getting a name change to Hyperdimension Neptunia which is just as odd as the literal Japanese translation. There is no news of any other cuts to the game as the SEGA references might not be licensed to NIS America. The game will be hitting Western shores in Spring 2011.
Edit SEGAShiro.com can confirm that the SEGA references will remain intact in the Western version.

There’s a rather lovely Valkyria Chronicles theme now available on the Playstation Network. This is a bit of a strange move seeing as the game was released 2 years ago, but cool none-the-less. It’s also free, so you shouldn’t miss an opportunity to flaunt a great game on your PS3!

SEGA will be releasing high definition ports of Dreamcast titles SEGA Bass Fishing and Space Channel 5 Part 2 on X-Box Live Arcade and Playstation Network in early 2010.
“The release of these games marks SEGA’s ongoing effort to bring its best-sellers from the Dreamcast era to the latest consoles,” said Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA.
“We want to enable a new generation of players to experience some of the most celebrated titles our video game history has to offer, while at the same time appealing to our enthusiastic and much appreciated community of fans.”
Personally, I’m really happy to see Space Channel 5 making some sort of a comeback. Maybe they should add Move and Kinect support to keep things fresh and on the same level as similar games like Just Dance. Only time will tell.

Valkyria Chronicles 2 has only just been released in the UK and it’s been receiving some rather glowing reviews. Then SEGA of Japan’s web-team accidentally leak news of Valkyria Chronicles 3! Well, I suppose it isn’t a leak.
What’s happened is that SOJ published a GIF image showing SEGA’s Tokyo Game Show line-up. Some clever-clogs has decided to replace the extension to a JPG instead and discovered another image showing the TGS line-up with the ‘mystery’ slot replaced with ‘Valkyria Chronicles 3′. Internet users still amaze me.
No word on whether this will be a PSP or PS3 release but I’m sure we’ll get the full scoop when TGS rolls around.
