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.
SEGA have confirmed that Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure, the 3DS rhythm game in the vain of Space Channel 5 will be getting an iOS re-release at some point in the near future. The game will apparently be a free-to-play affair but you will have to dish out microtransactions for more content.
There is currently no word on an exact release date. More on this as we get it.
Senile Team, the indie developers responsible for the fantastic Rush Rush Rally Racing, have just released a free downloadable platformer for the Dreamcast called… wait for it…
Polyko’s Super Jelly Bean Quest in the Sketchbook of Illusion.
Bit of a mouthful eh?
The game is a simple platformer that can be downloaded from Senile Team’s website for nothing. The file contains a disc image that must be burned with a package like Discjuggler to play on your Dreamcast.

According to information received by Siliconera, the 2 ToeJam & Earl games ‘ToeJam & Earl’ and ‘ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron’ are set to be re-released via SEGA’s Vintage Collection; a series of upscaled ports of classic SEGA games made available on Playstation Network and X-Box Live Arcade.
There is currently no date set and no word whether the games will be making their way to X-Box Live Arcade, but according to Siliconera they will definitely be coming to Playstation Network.
Gamerzines have apparently spilled the beans on HD ports of Shenmue 1 & 2. The ports have apparently been finished for a year with their release being held up until SEGA had a clearer picture of the future of the Shenmue franchise ie whether Shenmue 3 will actually see the light of day.
The ports will show up on X-Box Live Arcade and Playstation Network. No date has been given at this time. This is exciting news for Shenmue fans; not only are they getting HD versions of the original 2 games but it looks like plans are in place for a 3rd game as well. Happy days!
We all knew it was happening but SEGA finally confirmed the rumours that Sonic Adventure 2 is being re-released on X-Box Live Arcade and Playstation Network this Autumn. Check out the handheld footage of the announcement at Sonic Boom below:
Gotta love SEGA’s sense of humour! It’s also great seeing how many people actually still love this game 🙂
NiGHTS into Dreams…, the much-loved SEGA Saturn high-score flying game is being re-released for X-Box Live Arcade, Playstation Network and PC download. There is no release date at this time but an announcement trailer reveals that the game is being remastered with high definition graphics and a widescreen display. The original Saturn version is also included.
Whoopsie! Someone at Xbox.com pressed the ‘ok’ button a bit too early and revealed 10 screenshots for Sonic Adventure 2 on X-Box Live Arcade and Playstation Network. SEGA haven’t officially announced the game but this entry on the site (which has now been removed) gives us all the proof we need.
The Playstation Network version is only confirmed because one of the screenshots shows the circle button on the dualshock controller which pretty much means a PSN port is obviously in the works.
The games also support a widescreen display. The usual achievements and trophies are expected. The release date listed on the website before it was taken down is October 3rd 2012.
Get your butts over to the iOS App Store now because Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is free to download today and today only! I’ve just grabbed it myself and I hear great things about this port so why not try it out? After all, it’s free!

UPDATE ON 29/3/12
Please be aware that the zip you have to download to play this game contains 2 infected files; a dll and the main executable. Remove these and use the 64 executable as to not put your computer at risk.
The Sonic Retro fan-game project Sonic 2 HD which aims to recreate Sonic 2 with high definition artwork, has received a new alpha release which is available to download from the project’s official website now.
