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.

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.

But is the game any good? Find out in our full review of Snatcher for the Mega-CD!

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.

Click here to go straight to our review of The Complete Mess Collection.

Fan Scene: Sonic CD Mods Adds Metal Sonic as Playable Character

November 1st, 2014

fanscene

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.

Check out a gameplay trailer below:

You can download the mod via this link. Instructions on how to install it are also available from this page.
