Yakuza’s titular hero Kiryu Kazuma is making a guest appearance in Everybody’s Golf 6 as a playable DLC character. Kiryu can be purchased for 500 yen from the Japanese PSN store for both the PS3 and PS Vita versions of the game.
SEGA’s re-release of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse has been formally announced and it’s a 2D/3D hybrid remake in HD! Check out the first screenshots below:
Also featured is the announcement trailer which you can also watch here:
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse will be released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this Summer as a digital only title.
SEGA have uploaded the following teaser video which clearly hints at the heavily rumoured Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse re-release:
The trailer mentions a Summer 2013 release date but more interesting is that it uses all new assets like the previously leaked “box art”. Could this be a HD remake and not a simple re-release of the Mega Drive original?
Aliens: Colonial Marines’ Wii-U appearance has been cancelled after SEGA quietly confirmed the cancellation to Kotaku.
Aliens: Colonial Marines for Wii-U was under development at Demiurge Studios as opposed to Gearbox Software who developed the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The Wii-U version was going to be a much different beast entirely and was going to utilise the gamepad for exclusive motion tracker action. Unfortunately we can only wonder what could have been.
SEGA of Europe have added a disclaimer to their Aliens: Colonial Marines trailers which essentially admit that the trailers do not reflect the poor quality of the final game.
All SEGA Europe Aliens: Colonial Marines now have the following message added to their description: “The trailer footage shown uses the in-game engine, and represents a work in progress.”
This action has been taken after SEGA begun talks with the Advertising Standards Agency after Reddit user ‘subpardave’ filed a complaint.
subpardave said this on a Reddit post:
“My aim was not to get fines, compensation or any of that. Gearbox and Sega spoke very clearly – by saying absolutely nothing – and showed the purchasing community that they would rather this mess all quietly disappear.
The games industry – like any other – needs to be held accountable for blatantly deceiving the consumer. And doubly so when a wall of silence is the only response to resounding criticism for shipping a shoddy product, having shown off one with all the bells and whistles.
The ASA has little real power. But negative press? That does.”
subpardave has also published the response he received from the ASA:
“We contacted Sega Europe to discuss this issue. They explained that their online trailers used demo footage, created using the in-game engine. Sega Europe understood the objections raised about the quality of the game in relation to the trailers, but explained that they weren’t aware of these issues when the trailers were produced, in some cases several months before release.
Sega Europe acknowledged your objection that the trailers did not accurately reflect the final content of the game. They agreed to add a disclaimer, both on their website and in all relevant YouTube videos, which explains that the trailers depict footage of the demo versions of the game. The disclaimer will be visible when each online trailer is played.”

We’ve made it pretty clear in the past that we have an awful lot of time for Game Grumps, the Let’s Play channel from Jontron and Egoraptor. Today, the duo have started a playthrough of Platinum Games’ masterpiece Bayonetta and as usual it creates some really funny moments. Please be warned, Game Grumps contains adult language and themes:
Website Dead End Thrills has been given a debug version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed to play with and produced some amazing screenshots of scenes from the game in a super-high resolution for your viewing pleasure.
Famitsu have done a silly and leaked information about the game SEGA are teasing via this website. The PS3/PS Vita game was not due to be officially announced until Thursday but the Famitsu leak suggests we have a new entry in the Let’s Make a Soccer Team! franchise. Bit of anti-climax eh?
