A fascinating new interview with M2 employees Yosuke Okunari and Naoki Horii about 3D After Burner II has gone live on SEGA’s official blog. The new interview details the difficulties in porting the game to 3DS and the increased game difficulty that was brought about by the addition of stereoscopic 3D. It’s a fascinating little read that will be continued in a second part which will go live tomorrow.

3D After Burner II is released on the 3DS eShop this Thursday the 15th of January 2015. It is the first release in the second season of SEGA 3DS classics and it will be priced at £4.49.
The video game trivia series Did You Know Gaming? have gone live with a Dreamcast-related episode. The series is always incredibly well researched and you’re almost always bound to learn something new.
Snatcher marks Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima’s second time as a video game director. The game was originally released in 1988 and was remastered and translated into English only once. The English language version of Snatcher appeared on the Mega-CD in 1994 and since Kojima’s breakout success with Metal Gear Solid, the game is become a highly sought-after title.
A surprise announcement from Hucast! The developers of DUX, Redux: Dark Matters and the upcoming Ghost Blade have revealed a new Dreamcast platformer called Alice’s Mom’s Rescue.
The game features 3 worlds and 25 stages to explore. There is currently no gameplay footage available but the game looks to be a traditional platformer in the same vein as Super Mario Bros or The Great Giana Sisters.
3D After Burner II marks the first game in the next series of SEGA 3D Classics for the 3DS and it’s coming to the European eShop on the 15th of January.
These games are remastered with stereoscopic 3D visuals as well some other additional features like saving, gyroscope controls and extra gameplay modes.
The game will be priced at £4.49 for the UK and €4.99 for the rest of Europe.
We love our shmups at SEGADriven and we’ve recently been playing quite a few on the Mega Drive. For today’s review we’ve decided to take a look at World War II-themed shooter Fire Mustang, a game that never made it out of Japan.
Crush 40 have just uploaded a pro-shot video of What I’m Made Of… live at the Japan Game Music Festival from 2013. It’s an amazing performance of a great Sonic theme and it features live drummer Act and live bassist Shoyo. Press play on the video below and throw up those horns:
Sonic Team have revealed a new Sonic game at a recent event at the SEGA Joypolis. The new game will be called Sonic Runners and it will be a mobile-only title.
Not much else is known outside of this. There is currently no art, screenshots or video available on the game but we’ll be sure to update you when anything becomes available.
Please be aware that a pretty convincing fan-made reveal picture featuring hoaxed screenshots is currently circulating. Do not be fooled!
The Sonic Show is 8 years old this year. That’s a long time to be running a Sonic-centric video series. Originally hosted on its own website, it now operates exclusively out of YouTube. To celebrate this milestone the show is releasing its first collection exclusive music and it’s called The Complete Mess Collection which to be frank is quite fitting.
A fan called Darkon360 has created the first mod for Sonic CD Remastered.
This mod makes Metal Sonic completely playable in the game. It’s a fun little addition that takes the place of Sonic as the main playable character. There’s an interesting addition in the Stardust Speedway boss stage in that Darkon360 has added Metal Sonic 3.0 from Sonic Rivals 2 as the new rival for Metal Sonic. This was obviously done to avoid having Metal Sonic race himself, but it’s a fun little touch all the same.
