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.

SEGA’s new iPad strategy game Godsrule: War of Mortals is now available. The game works alongside the browser-based version so you can continue the action wherever you are.
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.
SEGA have sparked a deal with Asiasoft to develop an English-language version of Phantasy Star Online 2 for release in South-East Asia regions. Asiasoft support games released in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore.
A Western release for Phantasy Star Online 2 is still in doubt, but at least an English language version of the game will now exist.
Up and until now, SEGA’s 3D re-releases of classic SEGA titles for the 3DS eShop have been exclusive to Japan, but by the looks of things two of these titles look to be coming West.
The Australian Classification Board has entries for both 3D Sonic the Hedgehog and 3D Altered Beast. While Australia obviously isn’t the West, games that are generally released in this region get a release in the West as well.
No official word on these titles or any release dates have been revealed at this time.
The 3 Sonic titles exclusive to the Nintendo and SEGA worldwide partnership will be released this year. This information comes from a press release from Nintendo Germany which catagorically states:
Today, they (Sega) revealed further details of the second of three titles, which the two companies will release exclusively on Wii U and 3DS. All three games will be released this year.
So good news for Wii-U and 3DS owners! It’s going to be a very Sonicy year!
BBC Earth (the natural history division of BBC Worldwide) has partnered with SEGA to bring 2 attractions to the United States and Japan.
The attractions will be a “unique visitor experience” that fuses nature with technology. Sonic CD: The Experience? I wish.
The attraction will be a 4000 square meter, multi-level visitor experience. The BBC have said the attraction will allow visitors to “undertake an individual adventure using their eyes, ears, hands and minds to explore the wonders of the natural world”.
The attractions will launch this year and exact locations will be announced in the coming months. Other locations for the attraction are expected to follow but there is no indication of a UK launch at this time.
