SEGA’s Japanese exclusive racing series Initial D is headed back to the arcades for a 7th installment (that’s right, 7! Any chance of a Western release for some of these games, please SEGA?). The game is called Initial D Arcade Stage 7 AAX (bit of a mouthful) and there’s a new trailer available to watch now:
SEGA are releasing a SEGA Memorial Collection on the Japanese PSN store. The collection is being sold at 800 yen and features 5 retro SEGA arcade games which can be played in classic and modern modes similar to SEGA’s ‘SEGA AGES’ series.
The games featured are Head On, Tranquilizer Gun, Borderline, Congo Bongo and Doki Doki Penguin Land. The collection releases in Japan only on October 17th. No word on a Western release at this time.
How did I manage to miss this one!? A new game in the Zaxxon series has crept onto mobile devices! The game is called Zaxxon: Escape and unlike the orignal isometric shooter, this game is a third person, behind-the-ship affair (similar to After Burner) where you must tilt your device in order to squeeze through the openings. Check out the announcement trailer below:
The game is available to download now for iPhone, iPad and Google Play devices. A quick look on the iOS app store tells me the game is currently available for 69p in the UK.
The USK release schedule page appears to have just leaked announcements for Sonic the Fighters, Fighting Vipers and Virtua Fighter 2 on X-Box Live Arcade.
All 3 games have received ratings on the site which could mean that HD remakes of these releases are planned for XBLA. There is currently no official word from SEGA but looking at their recent release habits with the likes of NiGHTS into dreams, Sonic Adventure 2 and Jet Set Radio all getting revived it could well become a reality.
House of the Dead 4 is finally coming to home consoles with the release of the Playstation Network port which also includes PS Move support. Check out the launch trailer below:
The release date for House of the Dead 4 on PSN has finally been revealed. Expect the game to appear on the Playstation Store April 18th for £6.49/€7.99.

SEGA have just revealed a new iOS title called Brick People. The game originated as a Japan exclusive arcade game and has now been ported to iOS devices.
The game was originally played with a set of actual bricks that you placed in front of the video screen. The concept is still the same except you now use a set of virtual bricks that you manouvre with the touch-screen.
Full details from the press release:
•Tactile Gameplay: Build towers and bridges for the Brick People by pulling bricks from the stack and dropping them into place, using the iOS’ multi-touch interface
•Build with a Buddy: Compete head-to-head via Wi-Fi to out-build your friends, or compete on a single device in the iPad version
•See How You Stack Up: Build your Brick People reputation by going for high scores on the Game Center leaderboards, and tweet your tallest towers
A release date has not been revealed at this time.
