The re-release of classic Mega Drive shmup Empire of Steel for 3DS is actually a proper remake and not just a simple port. Check out the fancy new graphics above.
The game is not being published by SEGA but it’s being developed by Starfish who are responsible for Elminage. The new version features improved graphics, stereoscopic 3D and rebalanced difficulty.

The mother of all retro finds has shown up in Thailand. A member of SEGA Galaxy Board has discovered 4 shipping boxes containing 20 brand new Mega Drive IIs and multiple copies of 18 different Mega Drive games.
Everything in the boxes is new and sealed and duplicates are being sold off by the forum user. One of the new Mega Drive IIs will only set you back 70 Euros. Not bad! Games are being sold off at around 10 or 15 Euros a piece.

Mega Drive shmup Empire of Steel (or Steel Empire depending on what region you live in) is being re-released on the Japanese 3DS eShop.
No other details like release dates or whether it’s a port of the Mega Drive or GBA remake where revealed. There’s also no indication to whether the steam punk shmup is even a port at all and not an entirely new remake. More on this as we get it.

The 3DS re-release of Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master has some additional features which have just been detailed.
Along with the obvious stereoscopic visuals, quick save and round select features have been added. You can also choose to play either the Western or Japanese versions of the game.
The big addition is the inclusion of assigning control to an individual button instead of sharing them accross the Mega Drive original’s 3 button format. You can now assign the commands for jump, close range attack, shuriken attack, defend and ninjutsu to specific buttons.
