Corey Marshall, famously known for his role as Ryo Hazuki in the Shenmue series has teased some voice acting work on an unspecified SEGA title.
The voice actor is pictured in the studio and then next to a SEGA banner of some sort. Speculation already points to Shenmue 3 (when doesn’t it), but could Ryo be making another cameo appearance in another SEGA title?
The updated version of Dead or Alive 5 (imaginatively titled Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate) will also feature Virtua Fighter’s Jacky Bryant. Check out the character in action below:
The above image has just appeared on the official SEGA page and features silhouettes of a collection of new characters who will appear in Sonic: Lost World for Wii-U and 3DS.
The image comes with the message, “Six will rise from the Lost World. Are they friends or foes? Find out on May 29th.”
SEGA president John Cheng has revealed that Sonic: Lost World will feature all new gameplay and enemies, as well as some new friends to accompany Sonic. Cheng has said:
“With ‘Sonic Lost World,’ we’re going to introduce new gameplay and enemies, which is always fun. In terms of Sonic and his friends, he’ll have his same friends there, and I think there’ll be some new ones as well. It’s not a reiteration. It’s going to be all new.”
Cheng has also commented on the deal between Nintendo and SEGA which means the next 3 Sonic games are Nintendo exclusive:
“It should be a win-win situation. Don’t count Nintendo out.”
SEGA are publishing the new Guilty Gear game. The game is titled Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign and is the first in the series to use the Unreal Engine as well as polygonal graphics instead of sprites. Check out the rather stunning announcement trailer below:
Arc System Works fighters generally launch in the arcade before they receive a home console release so as a system wasn’t announced in the trailer we can assume this is arcade exclusive for the time being.
Nintendo and SEGA have announced a worldwide partnership for the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. This will mean that the next 3 Sonic titles will be completely exclusive to Nintendo platforms. This also includes an unannounced title.
President and COO of SEGA of America, John Cheng has said:
“Sonic the Hedgehog has proven incredibly successful on Nintendo platforms and we are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Nintendo. As we initiate this new exclusive partnership with the next three titles we believe that Wii U(TM) and Nintendo 3DS(TM) are ideal platforms to showcase the evolution of the Sonic brand.”
The 3DS eShop will be getting a slew of new Game Gear titles. The newly announced additions include:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic Blast
Sonic Labyrinth
Sonic Drift 2
Tails Adventure
