Cartridge Thunder are back with another SEGA vinyl soundtrack release. The record label are now releasing both The House of the Dead 1 and 2 soundtracks as well as a boxset featuring both. The House of the Dead 1 will be available on a single record while The House of the Dead 2 will come on 2 records. The boxset for both releases comes with a hardcover slipcase which will not be sold separately.

Kazuma Kiryu of the Yakuza series will be rolling into the upcoming Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania. Yes, really!
Hot on the heels of Jet Set Radio’s Beat being added, the Smilebit/RGG Studio/AmusementVision love continues with RGG Studio’s main man himself joining the game. And when playing as him, the bananas are even replaced by Staminan X pickups! It’s a very amusing crossover, but feels suitable given who’s behind the remakes.
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania will launch on October 5th. In addition to Kiryu and Beat, Sonic & Tails were also recently confirmed to be unlockable in the game.
A HD remaster of SEGA Saturn FPS Exhumed is coming to PCs “soon” via the talented people at Nightdive Studios. Now called Powerslave Exhumed, the port combines the content of both the Saturn and PS1 versions and presents it in a new widescreen HD resolution that is powered by Nightdive’s proprietary KEX engine. You can check out the reveal trailer below:
SEGA are not publishing Powerslave Exhumed. The game will be published by Nightdive Studios themselves through GoG. You can wishlist the game now by clicking here.
The original game was developed by Lobotomy Software for the Saturn and PS1. Lobotomy Software were also famous for the Saturn ports of Duke Nukem 3D and Quake.

More bonus characters have been revealed for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania and this time we have the additions of both Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles “Tails” Prower.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania launches for Switch, PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series consoles on the 5th of October 2021. The game is an enhanced remake of Super Monkey Ball Deluxe which originally released on PS2 and Xbox back in 2005.
In a recent tweet, Idris Elba appears to have revealed that he will be voicing Knuckles the Echidna in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie.
Elba’s tweet simply reads “Knock, knock….” and is accompanied with a render of Knuckles’ glove, presumably from the character model being used for the movie.
The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie arrives in theaters on April 8th 2022 for North America. The film is once again being directed by Jeff Fowler and Ben Schwartz and Jim Carrey will also return as Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Robotnik respectively. The original film from 2020 was one of the top earners of the year grossing $319.7 million worldwide.
