Follow on Twitter @kronkblats SEGA Community Roundtable: Favourite SEGA Platformer That Isn’t a Sonic GameWednesday, May 23rd, 2012The SEGA Community Roundtable is back from a longer absence than usual (my bad)! This time we dicuss the best SEGA Platformer that isn’t a Sonic game. The usual rules apply, any SEGA published game qualifies as well as any game that was released on a SEGA console; Mega Drive, Dreamcast etc. Click here to be taken straight to the feature or click the ‘Features’ link on our menu. A huge thanks to our contributors who make this feature so special! There’s some brilliant writing in this feature which you should all take some time to read over; probably some of the best work I’ve seen on the roundtable! Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven.

Follow on Twitter @kronkblats Fan Scene: Sonic 2 HD Kicks the BucketThursday, April 19th, 2012Sonic 2 HD, the promising HD fan remake of Sonic 2 has been officially cancelled as per a message left by Vincent (the project leader) on the project’s official Facebook. Reasons for this are mainly pinned on ex-lead developer LOst who wouldn’t provide the rest of the team with a DRM free version of the game and is solely responsible for the inclusion of the DirectInput bug which made users believe they’d downloaded a keylogger. He is also the only person holding what would be the source code for the game so production cannot continue without his involvement. DRAMA. Never-the-less, it’s sad to see the project go as the alpha demo was an impressive piece of work by what is essentially a bunch of bedroom coders. 2 members of the team (scanline99 and Cerulean Nights) have moved on to other independent work in hopes of furthering their game-developing careers and we wish them all the best for the future.

Follow on Twitter @kronkblats Epic Mickey 2 3DS is a Sequel to Castle of IllusionWednesday, March 28th, 2012Remember Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse for the Mega Drive? Remember how amazing it was? Well who would’ve guessed that it would get a sequel 22 years later, but that’s exactly what is happening! The upcoming release of Epic Mickey 2 on 3DS will not follow the same path as its’ console brethren; the developers have seen fit to make it an entirely different game featuring the plucky mouse that follows directly after the events of Castle of Illusion. Not only that but it looks very promising! Click here to see the first screenshots of the game in action. Obviously SEGA won’t be publishing Epic Mickey 2 as Disney now publishes its’ own Mickey games, but this should be of interest to anyone who has fond memories of the original Mega Drive game.

Follow on Twitter @kronkblats Video Spotlight: Is This Video of a Sonic the Hedgehog Prototype Real or a Really Good Hoax?Tuesday, February 7th, 2012Yuji Naka’s Twitter has revealed this rather fantastic video of what appears to be a Sonic the Hedgehog prototype that some of you may recognise from screenshots released in magazines back in 1990: Now the real question is this; real or fake? Could someone help translate Naka-san’s Tweet to help with this conundrum!? EDIT: Rough Translation Courtesy of Angelgotchi So Naka-San thinks it’s real!
