All the Japanese DLC for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F 2nd will be making its way west for the US and European launch of the game.
Individual songs for the game will be priced at £1.99 and modules AKA costumes will be priced at £1.19. 10 songs and 45 modules are promised for the game so there’s a fair bit of content to keep you busy with upon completion of the game’s standard content.
SEGA have also announced 2 season passes for the songs and modules. The Song Club offer gets you all 10 songs for £19.99 while the Costume Club offer gets you all 45 modules for £39.99.
Valkyria Chronicles’ upcoming PC release was recently announced but now we have the full details as to what this version of the game will include and how it’s priced.
The game is available to pre-order digitally for £14.99 which is considerably cheaper than a boxed PS3 copy. It will release on the 11th of November and pre-ordering will also get you 10% off the price.
The game will also include all the DLC that was released for the PS3 version as standard. This includes Hard EX Mode, Edy’s “Enter the Edy Detachment” mission, Selveria’s “Behind Her Blue Flame” mission and an additional six challenge missions.
The cult-classic, 3rd person strategy game will be re-released on PC courtesy of SEGA but sadly that’s all we know at this time. We’d speculate that Hardlight Studio are behind the port as they previously ported The Creative Assembly’s Viking: Battle for Asgard to PC back in 2012.
SEGA have promised more information soon but other than that it’s pretty exciting to see that one of the PS3′s underrated gems is now getting a wider release.
We’ve spoken about Centiment in the past because the British metallers have quite the penchant for old SEGA games. Their debut album Streets of Rage released earlier this year and features the songs Defenders of Oasis, Bloodshot and Zero Tolerance.
Now the band embark on a UK tour in December in support of their new EP, Retro. Creatively titled The Retro Gamer Tour, the band are setting up multiplayer Mega Drive action at the merch desk of every show on the tour.
If heavy music with a retro gaming twist is up your street then you might want to catch Centiment on one of these upcoming UK tour dates:
In what has to be one of the most peculiar decisions regarding Sonic Boom, the CG animated series that ties in with the video games will air in Europe in Autumn 2015 despite the games based on the series being released in November of this year.
The Sonic Boom cartoon airs in North America and France later this year which ties in nicely to the releases of the Sonic Boom video games which act as prequels to the series. The closer release windows for both the series and games in these territories are obviously designed to compliment each other and boost sales of the game as well as interest in the show.
So how does SEGA Europe intend on promoting the Sonic Boom games in the rest of Europe now the cartoon as fallen to late next year? Only time will tell but we’d bet some serious cash that the games are not going to sell as well in this territory when compared to France and North America unless SEGA Europe are willing to put some money into a big marketing campaign.
Above you will see the cover art for the new SEGA 3D classics collection SEGA 3D Reprint Archives. The game will be exclusive to Japan and will include the 3D ports of Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone, Out Run, Ecco the Dolphin, Streets of Rage and Shinobi III that were released on the 3DS eShop.
What’s really interesting about the collection is the 2 new inclusions that are exclusive to the collection. Remastered ports of the Master System 3D versions of Space Harrier and Out Run will also be included. These games were originally released for SEGA’s 3-D Glasses peripheral that worked with the Master System. Only 8 games made use of the peripheral and this is the first time any of the games have received a port to another system.
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2 is getting an expanded Western release under the (currently working) title Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Remix.
The 3DS title has been announced as a 5th anniversary release and will include new elements that were not previously available in Project Mirai 2. The game is due to launch some time in 2015.
We’ve known about Sonic Jump Fever for a while thanks to its limited Canada-only release a little while back, but it looks like SEGA are almost ready to unleash the sequel on the rest of the world.
A new trailer has appeared on YouTube and promises a worldwide Android and iOS release “soon”. Check out the short trailer below:
Siliconera have an extensive interview about Sonic Boom with Bob Rafei, the creative director and CEO of Big Red Button.
Key points to take away from the interview include:
– Sonic Boom will be more combat heavy than past Sonic games
– The game will have a larger focus on exploration similar to Sonic Adventure
– The game will also include cooperative gameplay and has been designed to maximise on this
– The game focusses on the strengths of each team member in a similar way to Sonic Heroes eg. Sonic is a speed character, Knuckles is a power character etc.
– Amy has been changed to a strong female character and no longer fawns over Sonic all the time
– Knuckles gets a chance to be the funny guy
– Sonic Boom will have a new main villain and Dr. Eggman will “pass the torch” so to speak
– Exploration will lead to the discovery of rare items and collectibles
The previously leaked Sonic Boom character seen on a poster has been made official by SEGA. The character is called Sticks and she’s a jungle badger who “will play an integral role across all Sonic Boom platforms.”
The announcement on the official SEGA blog has this to say:
“Sticks is wilder than the other members of Sonic’s team with unparalleled animal instincts and extremely sharp survival skills. She’s a fearsome combatant and a tenacious hunter who’s armed with handmade weapons at all times, most notably a handmade boomerang that she keeps in tow.”
You can see footage of Sticks’ voice actor and get further insight into her personality in the below video:
There’s not much else to say really. She looks a bit like Marine from Sonic Rush. She has a silly name. She will appear in the TV show and the games. It’s another new sidekick for Sonic.
