Developer Noctet Studio has launched the Kickstarter for the SEGA-inspired racing game Slipstream. Check out the campaign trailer below:
As you can see, the game is heavily influenced by games like Out Run, Super Hang-On and even things like Sonic 2 if you take a look at the casino-themed area. Noctet is only asking for $6000 and the game is due to release in March 2016.

As if the release of Yakuza 5 wasn’t exciting enough, SEGA has also committed to releasing Yakuza 0 in the West.
There aren’t much in the way of specifics, but the game will be releasing in Western regions on PS4. There is some confusion as to whether the game will make it to Europe but the trailer confirms a European release while SEGA Europe are being indecisive about whether this is the case or not.
No release date or any details regarding a physical or digital release are available at this time. However there is a rather tasty announcement trailer which you can watch below:
It’s been a very long wait but Yakuza 5’s Western release is finally dated and it’s coming next week on the 8th of December.
The game’s release date was revealed in tonight’s Playstation Experience event. Yakuza 5 will be released digitally for PS3 and include all the DLC that was released during its original Japanese campaign.
The first trailer for the new PS4 Valkyria game Valkyria: Azure Revolution has arrived and you can watch it below. In typical Japanese fashion there’s a sexy lady with impossible breasts in it:
Valkyria: Azure Revolution will launch for PS4 in Japan sometime in 2016. The PS4 Valkyria Chronicles Remaster also launches in Japan for PS4 on the 10th of February 2016. The box art has also been revealed and you can see that below:
We’ve now got a better look at both Valkyria of the Blue Revolution and the PS4 Valkyria Chronicles remaster thanks to these new screenshots from Famitsu.
First up we have Valkyria of the Blue Revolution which definitely looks more like your traditional fantasy JRPG as we previously discussed yesterday:
Next up are the shots of the Valkyria Chronicles remaster which (as you can expect) don’t look particularly different to the original release:
Both games are due to launch in Japan for PS4 next year.
In 1993 a man called Keith Bugeja was working a new platformer for the Amiga called Blaze. The game was to be published by Warp Software but development was stopped for unknown reasons. Well, I say, “unknown” but when you look at how close the action is to the original Sonic the Hedgehog, you’ll soon come to your own conclusions.
Check out Blaze in action via the embed below:
The only existing build of Blaze has now been dumped and is available to download from Bugeja’s personal blog.
The previously trademarked Valkyria of the Blue Revolution has been given its official announcement via the latest Weekly Famitsu. This new game in the Valkyria Chronicles franchise will be the first for PS4 and from the images in the scan above, it would appear to be a little more fantastical with a focus on melee weapons.
Also announced is a remaster of the original Valkyria Chronicles which will also come to PS4. This will likely be the same port of the game that was released on PC but rolled out for PS4 owners.
Sega’s European marketing director Jon Rooke has confirmed that SEGA are, “exploring ways to re-release the original two Shenmue titles.”
This is by no means a confirmation that the re-releases are going to happen, but this public confirmation that the company are at least making an attempt to bring the games out of retirement is certainly a positive one.
Fingers crossed a new generation of gaming fans get to play the original two Shenmue titles before the third game drops on the projected release date of December 2017.
One of the more obscure sights in the arcades of the early nineties was a Sonic-themed popcorn dispenser called SEGASonic Popcorn Shop. While the machine obviously dispenses popcorn, it also featured a short mini-game to entertain the young’uns before the popcorn left the machine. The machine also features dipswitches to allow the ROM to run in different languages. I have definitely seen a machine in the UK when I was very young so I can confirm it was distributed into other markets.
The ROM of the machine is now available to play in the MAME emulator and you can see footage of the attract screen and the mini-game in the video below. Check out that rather dainty Robotnik!
