Today I bring you a bumper review in the form of 3 Dreamcast indie games. We have decided to review DUX, DUX 1.5 and Redux: Dark Matters as a single, bumper review simply because the games are so similar and it’s a lot easier to compare the pros and cons against each of the games.
SEGA have no revealed the flying transformation of Ryo Hazuki in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Check the screenshot above to see Ryo piloting an Space Harrier cabinet. No more further developments on what platforms will receive Ryo as a playable DLC character.
Original Story
SEGA are teasing what appears to be a new DLC character for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed in the form of Ryo Hazuki. The above image has appeared on their Facebook page showing Ryo Hazuki’s vehicle in boat-form which includes a lovely little nod to SEGA’s Hang-On arcade cabinet.
No announcement has been made regarding whether this will be a PC exclusive character as so far the PC version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has been the only version of the game to be graced with new characters after launch day. Fingers crossed Ryo makes it to consoles.
SEGA have filed a trademark for Shenmue III. This would be big news if it wasn’t for the fact that publishers do this all the time so that their intellectual properties are protected from usurpers.
The interesting thing is that SEGA are obviously still thinking about the series. If the company are aware of the public’s desire for a sequel then at least that can give us some hope that a sequel might still be in consideration/development.
More on this as we get it as the only source we have for the story is currently down due to the immense traffic they’re receiving.
UPDATE
An image of the trademark information is available on SEGAbits’ Facebook page. You can also see this below:
UPDATE 2
The trademark might also relate to the “postmortem” talk Yu Suzuki is doing at GDC 2014. This will discuss the whole of the Shenmue series an an hour-long talk translated by Mark Cerny. GDC runs from March 17th to the 21st in 2014. Sourced from Gamespot.
UPDATE 3
Blimey! More details: SEGA have trademarked Shenmue III through the company R.G.C. Jenkins & Co. This is the same company who handled the Sonic Lost World trademark. You can find it yourself by going to the OHIM website (click here) and searching for Shenmue III.
UDPATE 4
The Shenmue III trademark might be a fake. The trademark lacks an application reference number which would make the trademark legitimate. A similar hoax was recently registered with this same company on November 14th for Fallout 4. The registration was recently removed after it was proven to be a hoax.
UPDATE 5
SEGA has officially confirmed that the trademark is fake and the listing has now been removed. Full details at from Eurogamer.
The Dreamcast Junkyard have completed a mammoth undertaking by compiling a definitive list of fan-voted Dreamcast games. The striking thing about this list is it is 200 games long.
Descriptions for a few of the entries are missing by DCJY staff member The Gagaman will be updating those when he has the opportunity.
Check out the complete list by clicking here. It’s a fascinating read and a real showcase of how many great games are available for SEGA’s last games console.
The recently discovered beta of Toejam & Earl 3 for Dreamcast could be released online. The owner has revealed himself on the Assembler Games forum and is running a fundraiser in order to raise a certain amount of money before a digital version of the beta is released in the wild.
Two Nintendo trademarks have appeared which seem to relate to cult Dreamcast game Seaman. The two trademarks are “Mysterious Pet: Legend of the Fish With A Human Face” and “Mysterious Partner: Legend of the Fish With A Human Face”.
Do the rights to Yoot Saito’s mental microphone pet simulator now reside with Nintendo or do these trademarks simply hint at what console/s the game/s will be released for?
Online Dreamcast game Planet Ring has been brought back online thanks to a talented bunch of Dreamcast enthusiasts.
The fine people at DC Emuluation have managed to develop a custom piece of software called The EarthCall Project which bypasses the need for a Dream Key and allows you to play Planet Ring on private servers.

Corey Marshall, famously known for his role as Ryo Hazuki in the Shenmue series has teased some voice acting work on an unspecified SEGA title.
The voice actor is pictured in the studio and then next to a SEGA banner of some sort. Speculation already points to Shenmue 3 (when doesn’t it), but could Ryo be making another cameo appearance in another SEGA title?
