Those (un)lucky Japanese! Shadow the Hedgehog has been re-released on the Japanese PSN store. The game is a part of the PS2 Classics range and can be purchased for 1200 yen (about £8).
Shadow the Hedgehog is the notoriously ill-advised Shadow-centric action platformer which allows you to pick up and use enemy weapons like swords and most controversially, guns.
The PS2 version of the game suffers from a wildly fluctuating framerate that makes the game a chore to play. If you’re that desperate to play the game I would advise the superior Gamecube version.
SEGA of Japan have announced a new 3DS RPG called Hero Bank. The game’s premise is to make as much money as possible in a cyber sport called Hero Battle.
The game is released in Japan on December 19th and no Western version has been announced at this time. Check out the first screenshots below:
4 new Game Gear titles have been added to the 3DS eShop and are available to download now. The games are:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Columns
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
Shining Force: The Sword of Hayja (AKA Shining Force Gaiden II)
Shining Force fans will also know that Shining Force: The Sword of Hayja was remade along with Shining Force Gaiden and released as Shining Force CD for the Mega-CD.
Online Dreamcast game Planet Ring has been brought back online thanks to a talented bunch of Dreamcast enthusiasts.
The fine people at DC Emuluation have managed to develop a custom piece of software called The EarthCall Project which bypasses the need for a Dream Key and allows you to play Planet Ring on private servers.

Hatsune Miku Project Diva F is getting a Western release! The game will release on PS3 and digitally via the Playstation Network. The game will launch in August 2013 and a demo will arrive on the PSN store June 12th. That’s next week!
Associate brand manager Aaron Webber has said, “Your voices helped make this happen. Miku and SEGA fans, this is your moment. We’re thrilled to bring this title out for you, and we’re counting on your support. Tell Your World!”
The Android-powered Ouya launches on the 25th of June and SEGA are planning to release 3 Sonic titles for the console.
The games in question are Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episodes I & II as well as Sonic CD. These will more than likely be upscaled versions of the already existing Android versions of the games.
All 3 games will be released on June 27th and American pricing has been announced at $6.99 per game. Trial versions will be available as well.
The Nintendo Germany press release which previously stated that all 3 SEGA/Nintendo partnered Sonic games would release this year has been ammended to say that only Sonic: Lost World will receive a definite 2013 release. Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and the unannounced third Sonic title have had their release status changed to “undecided”.
There has also been confirmation from an IGN staff member that the unannounced Sonic title will arrive in 2014 and not 2013. The same staff member also confirmed the existence of a 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games to compliment the Wii-U release.
