Here, that tune is brilliant!
Sonic Forces is being developed by Sonic Team and it launches on November 7th 2017 for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.
A new trailer for Sonic Forces has gone live and it details more of the story that will feature in the game. Eggman appears to have conquered Sonic’s world but is clearly unsatisfied that he still isn’t rid of Sonic and his friends. This has lead him to awaken a new villain called Infinite who is helping Eggman and his army who are now encroaching on Sonic’s home in the Green Hill Zone.
Even though this new trailer is heavy on the plot, there is also lots of new gameplay footage to be seen. Check it out by clicking below:

The team behind the Yakuza franchise have revealed a new game based on the Fist of the North Star franchise. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios are currently developing Hokuto ga Gotoku for a launch on the 22nd of February 2018 in Japan. There is currently no word on whether the title will make its way to the West, but a new trailer that went live during the Tokyo Game Show is now available to watch by clicking below:

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone is a PS4 port of the arcade title of the same name. If you’re not familiar with the arcade machine then the control setup is simplified to using just the Playstation face buttons for scoring the standard notes and a touch bar that lets you slide your finger across it to score slider notes. Every now and then you’ll have to score a combination of different notes together and advanced players can score hold notes and continue to combo other notes while still holding the hold note.
In keeping with the theme of Sonic Team dredging up pop punk vocalists whose popularity climaxed around 2003, the Sonic Forces vocal theme ‘Fist Bump’ features Douglas Robb from Hoobastank. This is pretty in keeping with mainline Sonic Team-developed Sonic titles as we’ve previously experienced themes by Zebrahead and Jaret Reddick from Bowling for Soup.
Okay so Bubsy is not a SEGA property but the original 2 games did appear on the Mega Drive and publisher Accolade are intrinsically connected with a big part of SEGA history (click here to read more), so we have to let you know that Accolade are back and they’re publishing a brand new Bubsy title called Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back. Yes, really.
Developed by Black Forest Games who are responsible for the rather good Giana: Twisted Dreams, Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is clearing riffing on the first two Bubsy titles and offers a 2.5D aesthetic, a whole host of yarn-based gimmicks and a snarky attitude to boot.
Check out the announcement trailer by clicking below:
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back will launch on PC and PS4 in Autumn 2017.
