Today’s SEGA Tunes feature is on the wonderful gameplay theme from SEGA’s Enduro Racer. We’re starting with the Master System version because quite simply it’s the better of the two:
For those of you that didn’t know, Enduro Racer started life as a parallax scrolling arcade racer similar to other SEGA racers like Hang-On. The difference here is that the game throws steep inclines and jumps at you to add some variety to the gameplay. The gameplay theme makes its’ first appearance here but the arcade version’s soundchip generally makes it sound a lot weaker than the Master System version:
Sadly we can’t seem to find any fan remixes of this gem, but if any of our readers would like to suggest some we will happily feature them on the next SEGA Tunes feature!
SEGA of Japan’s arcade-exclusive game Shining Force Cross Elysion has received a version C upgrade which means SEGA have decided to plug that with a new trailer. The game is a sort of LAN RPG made for multiplayer; check it out:
The arcade iteration of SEGA’s Japanese smash hit Hatsune Miku: Project Diva series is being location tested in a Round 1 arcade in Puente Hills, California.
The 2 machines are available for public play until March 18th. Hopefully this means SEGA has realised there’s huge Western appeal for this series and we might finally get to see it being localised for Western audiences.
SEGA Amusements have uploaded footage of 2 new arcade titles called Pirates of Monster Island and Double Spin. Both titles were previewed at the recent EAG 2013 event where this footage was recorded:
SEGA AM2’s fantastic After Burner reboot ‘After Burner Climax’ is making its’ way to iOS devices. No release date has been set at this time but SEGA have revealed a screenshot of the game in action which you can see below:
There is hope Westerners! The Australian Classification Board has revealed a listing for 3D Space Harrier; the Space Harrier remake for the 3DS eShop. The applicant for the classification is none other than SEGA Europe so it would seem that the previously Japanese exclusive game is now coming West.
Check out some non-3D gameplay of the game in action below:
Greek indie developer Pelikan13 has begun a Kickstarter campaign for a new PC racing game called The 90s Arcade Racer and it’s heavily inspired by SEGA games like Scud Race and Daytona USA. A £10 pledge will get you a digital download of the game for PC, Mac or Linux with an estimated delivery of November this year. As you’d expect, more lavish options are available if you pledge higher amounts.
Check out the in-engine gameplay preview below:

We’ve spoken about Love and Berry: Dress Up and Dance (under its’ Japanese title Osharemajo: Love and Berry Tsuushin) recently and SEGA are pretty keen to keep showcasing it on their YouTube channel. Below you can see 2 pieces of gameplay footage with the first featuring an English language version of the arcade game. Check it out:
How can you not like Japanese game development when they make games like this?
Osharemajo: Love and Berry Tsuushin is a Japanese arcade game that works with a series of trading cards. The game is aimed at girls between the ages of 6 and 12 and your first play gives you a card with a barcode which stores all your characters outfits, accessories and hairstyles. Once the characters are dressed the game then proceeds to a rhythm game where you tap a button in time with the tambourine on the screen.
SEGA of Japan have uploaded 2 gameplay trailers to their channel which show the rhythm segment in action:
