SEGA’s Japanese exclusive PS Vita game Samurai & Dragons is a free-to-play, action and strategy MMO game that launched last year.
Since its’ launch it has included guest appearances from tonnes of SEGA characters via the inclusion of character cards which are used in the strategy sections.
The game now includes character cards from Fate/Stay Night franchise (Wikipedia tells me it’s a visual novel series). You can see a reveal image below as well as a trailer for the game:
“Have you ever bought a game you were really excited about only to be disappointed? I’m sure we all have. Have you ever tried to convince yourself that said game is actually better than you think it is? Perhaps. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (now known as SASRT from here on) fits into both categories.”
After only a few hours the game has been removed from PSN. It will now go live on December 7th along with the physical release.
ORIGINAL STORY
The PS Vita version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has just been launched on the PSN store. The game is available to purchase and download for £34.99 in the UK. A physical release is expected on Friday. The product listing reveals the following features:
– Ad Hoc Mode 2-8 Players
– Network Players 2-8
– Network Features
– 2048KB minimum
– Touchscreen
– Dual Analog Sticks
– Motion Sensor
There’s no word at this time what the motion sensor and touchscreen are used for but I’m guessing the motion sensor is used as an alternative control scheme (tilt to steer).
Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio is getting a portable release on iOS and Android mobile devices as well as PS Vita this month.
The PS Vita version will launch on the 20th of November while the iOS and Android versions will show themsevles on the 29th of November.
North American PS Vita owners also get a special privilege if they’re subscribed to Playstation Plus. Jet Set Radio will be free for North American Playstation Plus subscribers from November 20th to December 31st.
Steve Lycett from Sumo Digital has confirmed a delay on the 3DS, PS Vita and PC versions of Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed. SEGA had originally slated the release for November 16th but Lycett has said:
“Given we’re still working on it, 16th November UK release is unlikely. I think SEGA either have or are due to announce the handheld dates over here, they’re slightly later than the home console versions.”
So sad times if you wanted to get those versions on November 16th. More on this story when SEGA decide to announce the corrected dates.

In what has to be one of the most bizarre advertising campaigns we’ve seen since the previous Monkey Ball one (you know, with the boobs), SEGA have revealed a collaboration with Random Encounters to release a 3 part Super Monkey Ball musical on YouTube. Yes, you heard that right. This is all in celebration of the release of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz on PS Vita.
If you feel like putting yourself through this horror then watch the first part below. Probably best you watch this alone and out of sight from other people/animals:
