Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN is Heading WestMay 29th, 2014
The previously arcade exclusive and SEGA-published fighter Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN is coming to North America. The localisation and publishing will be handled by Aksys and not SEGA. The game will be getting released for both PS3 and PS4 systems. Currently there is no word on what will happen with the game in Europe. Aksys has only committed to an English port for the North American market but it’s certainly a step closer to getting the game more exposure in the Western world.

SEGA have announced a new Super Monkey Ball game called Super Monkey Ball Bounce. As with a lot of SEGA’s recent output, the game is a mobile title for iOS and Android devices and looks incredibly similar to the Peggle games. Check out the trailer below: Super Monkey Ball Bounce launches this Summer on iOS and Android devices. It will be a free-to-play title.

Unreleased versions of Lemmings 2: The Tribes have been released by SMS Power. The Master System and Game Gear versions of the game were completed and even sent to SEGA Power Magazine for review in 1994 but were cancelled due to the dwindling sales of SEGA’s 8 bit consoles and the high cost of cartridge production at the time. You can get the ROM dumps for both versions of the game by registering at SMS Power. You will need an emulator to play the ROMs. Click the below links to be taken to the entries on SEGA Power: Lemmings 2: The Tribes Master System Version [Source: SMS Power and Retro Gamer Magazine] First Screenshots and Art of Shining Resonance RevealedMay 16th, 2014The first screenshots and art of PS3 RPG Shining Resonance have appeared. The above gallery showcases some of the games weapons, dragons and multi-character battles. The main character is a dragon called Irvan and the other party members can use musical instruments to aid him in battle. Don’t ask us how that works. Shining Resonance will release as a Japan exclusive PS3 game this Winter. [Source: Siliconera] Hypertension Due For Release On Dreamcast This YearMay 16th, 2014
Hypertension: Harmony of Darkness has been a long time coming, but the first person shooter from TDGMods is due to release later this year on Dreamcast through Goat Store. Hypertension is unique among indie Dreamcast releases in that it uses 3D graphics. The game pays homage to classic FPSs like Doom and Quake and bizarrely features the first video game appearance of David Firth’s character Salad Fingers. Check out the latest game trailer below: [Source: Retro Collect] Shining Resonance Announced for PS3May 14th, 2014
A new game in the Shining series has been revealed in Weekly Famitsu. The new title is an action RPG from Media.Vision; the creators of Wild ARMs. The new game features a dragon as the game’s protagonist and the game will be themed around “dragons and musical instruments”. Random encounters appear to be out in favour of a seamless transition between the game’s overworld and battles. A party of up to 4 characters can be taken into battle. As with most games in the Shining franchise, a Western release has not been announced and will probably not happen. [Source: Siliconera] SEGA Tunes: Audio Sprite’s Charity Remix AlbumMay 13th, 2014
Audio Sprite is currently in the process of creating a video game/kids TV remix album with the proceeds going towards CLIC Sargent, a charity for children’s cancer. In a rather moving gesture which was inspired by the loss of a friend’s 11 year old brother, Audio Sprite has remixed a selection of SEGA classics which includes a Yu Suzuki medley and remixes of songs from Sonic CD and Shenmue. You can check out the work-in-progress album below: If you think the album is worth a donation then you can visit Audio Sprite’s JustGiving page and help out a good cause. New Stages Discovered in Sonic 2 RemasteredMay 11th, 2014
Yes, we’re pretty late to this news but I think it’s worth sharing because I love hidden little oddities. 2 additional stages have been discovered lurking in the source code for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Remastered for iOS. The first is Egg Gauntlet Zone which basically acts as a boss rush. You can see footage of it below: Sadly this zone is no longer playable as a recent update removed removed the stage’s art assets. Next up is Proto Palace Zone. This stage recreates a faithful yet completable version of Hidden Palace Zone that was featured in the Simon Wai Sonic 2 Beta ROM. What’s more interesting about this stage is it can still be accessed to regular owners of the game. Here’s some instructions on how to do this: 1) Access the Sonic 2 level select code by tapping the letters in the SEGA logo from left to right, then put two fingers on the title screen. You can also check out footage of this zone in action below: [Source: The Sonic Stadium] |
