More additional features for Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin have been revealed. The game will feature an in depth farming mechanic which allows you to grow 20 different vegetables and crops. These can cooked at home for health perks or sold for profit at the local market.
Fishing returns to the franchise and plays similarly to SEGA Bass Fishing. Multiple lures will have to be tried to test their effectiveness with different fish. Fish can also be cooked or sold similarly to your crops.
The final addition is that of pets. Stray dogs and cats can be taken in with a limit of 3 pets to your household. Keeping them happy means that on occasion they might fetch a rare item for you.

One of SEGA’s latest arcade endeavors is the on-rails shooter Transformers: Human Alliance which was directed by Mr. Oga-Shi who is also responsible for such light-gun classics as Gunblade, Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Let’s Go Jungle & Island.
That last part is important because like those games there’s an awful lot of campy humour present in Transformers: Human Alliance as with the aforementioned games. Check out the new trailer to see what I’m on about:
Transformers: Human Alliance is available in certain arcades now as orders are already available.

Bet you weren’t expecting that headline? Well that’s what you’re getting!
Some talented animator on YouTube under the name of “sasi sage” has created a series of fan animations that revolve around Sonic the Hedgehog characters appearing in a magical girl anime called “Suite Sonicure”. Trust me, I know it sounds bizarre but just take a look at the quality of these shorts:
An additional 3 shorts can be found here, here and here.

More details have emerged in regards to Michael Jackson’s involvement in the Sonic 3 soundtrack and it’s coming from an unlikely source. Brad Buxer who used to play keyboards in The Jetzons was working with Jackson on the soundtrack to the game but in a previous interview he wasn’t aware of what songs made it into the final release.
A staff member over at Sonic Retro has discovered an amazing similarity with a Jetzons song called ‘Hard Times’. Check out the song below and you might be surprised as to how similar it is to a song that features on the Sonic 3 soundtrack:
Yep, that melody is unmistakably Ice Cap! What an amazing find!
