The re-release of classic Mega Drive shmup Empire of Steel for 3DS is actually a proper remake and not just a simple port. Check out the fancy new graphics above.
The game is not being published by SEGA but it’s being developed by Starfish who are responsible for Elminage. The new version features improved graphics, stereoscopic 3D and rebalanced difficulty.

Well I wasn’t expecting this! On September 10th, Japanese Playstation Plus subscribers will be able to download Miku Miku Hockey, an augmented reality air hockey game for PS Vita. That’s all there is to it really; I’m sure it’ll be a nice distraction but nothing spectacular. Have a look at that screenshot up there đ

Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin is the latest game in the Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza series and some details are finally beginning to show themselves.
– Ishin is not a true sequel to Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan! but more of a spiritual sequel
– Ishin is set just before the Meiji restoration period and not the Edo period of Kenzan!
– Kazama Kiryu is playing the role of Sakamoto RyĆma. Japanese histroy tells us RyĆma sought to overthrow the government and restore rule to the Emperor and held strong beliefs that all men were equal
– A considerable amount of backstory was translated from this magazine scan: click here
Thanks to Yakuza Fan who have been an incredible source in finding information about Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin.

Well how cool is this!? A special edition of the Wii-U version of Sonic: Lost World has surfaced called Sonic: Lost World Deadly Six Edition and it contains DLC that adds NiGHTS into Dreams boss battles!
You can see the NiGHTS characters in action in the new UK trailer below:
I think it’s brilliant that Sonic Team are still so enamoured with the NiGHTS franchise that they’re still referencing it even today. How about a new game now eh?

The mother of all retro finds has shown up in Thailand. A member of SEGA Galaxy Board has discovered 4 shipping boxes containing 20 brand new Mega Drive IIs and multiple copies of 18 different Mega Drive games.
Everything in the boxes is new and sealed and duplicates are being sold off by the forum user. One of the new Mega Drive IIs will only set you back 70 Euros. Not bad! Games are being sold off at around 10 or 15 Euros a piece.

Mega Drive shmup Empire of Steel (or Steel Empire depending on what region you live in) is being re-released on the Japanese 3DS eShop.
No other details like release dates or whether it’s a port of the Mega Drive or GBA remake where revealed. There’s also no indication to whether the steam punk shmup is even a port at all and not an entirely new remake. More on this as we get it.

A new entry in the Yakuza series has been revealed! Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin is the name of the latest title but apart from that and the above piece of artwork we have no details as to what the new game will feature or what platforms it will be released on.
The artwork seems to suggest another romp through feudal Japan similar to Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan! but only time will tell. More on this as we get it.
