It’s been a long time since Game Grumps have played anything SEGA-related, but recently Arin and Danny got stuck into cult trap-em-up ‘Night Trap’ for the Mega-CD.

Follow on Bluesky @sonicyoda Atlus Rumoured to Be Working on SEGA Ports “Don’t Rule Out Yakuza 5″ UPDATE Atlus Debunk RumourMonday, February 3rd, 2014
UPDATE Jason Schreier of Kotaku has apparently been in contact with Atlus USA who have said that they are unaware of any work being done on a Yakuza 5 port. He adds that, “they’re not a big company and they just announced like 4 new Persona games. Seems pretty unlikely to me.” Are Atlus USA covering up a leak or is this EGM just speculating? Thanks to TimmiT for bring this information to our attention. ORIGINAL STORY SEGA’s acquisition of Atlus may result in one of the most fan-requested ports in recent years. Rumours posted in this month’s EGM magazine confirm that Atlus is working on ports for SEGA and that we shouldn’t “rule out Yakuza 5 coming to America under the Atlus banner”. Nothing has been confirmed at this time and it’s not clear whether EGM are just speculating or whether they have some insider information, but the feature comes with the huge Yakuza 5 header which hints that the magazine might know more than they’re letting on. One can only hope! [Source: Yakuza Fan] Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven. Likes old games, heavy music and too much pizza.

Chinese-developed arcade racer Storm Racer G will be making a UK appearance at the EAG Expo next week. The game is being developed by Wahlap with SEGA Amusements publishing and it looks pretty old school in its appearance and gameplay. The crashes are of the Outrun 2 variety (launching you into the air dramatically) and the graphics look a bit Dreamcasty. Check out a trailer for the game below: [Source: SEGAbits] Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven. Likes old games, heavy music and too much pizza.

SEGA have no revealed the flying transformation of Ryo Hazuki in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Check the screenshot above to see Ryo piloting an Space Harrier cabinet. No more further developments on what platforms will receive Ryo as a playable DLC character. Original Story
SEGA are teasing what appears to be a new DLC character for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed in the form of Ryo Hazuki. The above image has appeared on their Facebook page showing Ryo Hazuki’s vehicle in boat-form which includes a lovely little nod to SEGA’s Hang-On arcade cabinet. No announcement has been made regarding whether this will be a PC exclusive character as so far the PC version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has been the only version of the game to be graced with new characters after launch day. Fingers crossed Ryo makes it to consoles. [Source: SEGA on Facebook] Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven. Likes old games, heavy music and too much pizza.

In scenes that would make my 6 year old self vomit copiously in pure shock, Sonic Lost World has received a DLC stage themed around Yoshi’s Island. It’s available on the Wii-U eShop now and it’s a free download. Check out the announcement trailer below: In today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast, Satoru Iwata also said the following: “Fans will be able to ‘Link’ their Wii U systems to the Nintendo E-Shop early next year to download this DLC as well.” Many fans are taking this hint as a confirmation of Zelda-themed DLC for Sonic Lost World in the new year. All this SEGA/Nintendo collaborative DLC is making my head hurt! [Source: The Sonic Stadium] Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven. Likes old games, heavy music and too much pizza.

Japan are getting a second wave of 3DS SEGA classics! The first in the series will be After Burner II which launches December 18th, but obviously only for Japan at this time. From what I can gather from the official website the new version adds: – Gyro controls The other interesting thing is that this port is based on the arcade version and not the Mega Drive version.

Christian “The Taxman” Whitehead returns once again with a Retro Engine-powered port of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Android and iOS devices. The new version of the 16 bit classic launches tomorrow and will be a free update for those who already own the existing port of Sonic 2 for these devices. Along with the usual enhancements of a widescreen display and more accurate controls, Whitehead has seen fit to add Hidden Palace Zone as an unlockable bonus stage. This is not the Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic & Knuckles either; this is the version that was discovered in Sonic 2 Beta. Whitehead has obviously not left the stage incomplete and has given it a lovely makeover which now includes gimmicks like the water jet you can see above.
