Aliens: Colonial Marines may have been a critical flop but that still hasn’t stopped people buying it. SEGA have managed to shift 1.3 million copies of the game across Xbox 360, PC and PS3 which is a similar amount to Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
Another great seller is Football Manager 2013 which has managed to ship 940,000 units on PC alone. Well done Sports Interactive!
In other news SEGA have revealed they are publishing 5 PS Vita games and 7 Wii-U games this year. It hasn’t been revealed what the titles are but that’s a lot of SEGA for Vita and Wii-U owners.
Road Redemption, the spiritual successor to Road Rash is in its’ final week of its’ Kickstarter campaign and needs a further $51,209 to be successfully funded.

Road Rash spiritual successor Road Redemption is being ported to Wii-U. The game is still looking for Kickstarter funding which you can take part in by clicking here.
Also detailed are RPG-esque details which are included in the single player campaign:
“As you complete missions, you earn cash for the bike shop, where you unlock new bikes with better stats, as well as have the opportunity to customize elements of your current bike, such as its color. You are able to upgrade and recruit new gang members who ride with you on missions, as well as improve your own character by buying new equipment to boost your stats such as better helmets, weapons and other equipment. Of course, some equipment can only be earned by playing certain missions.
There is also a skill system tied to experience earned by playing missions.
There will never be any in-game real money purchases in Road Redemption.”
The Road Redemption Kickstarter ends in 18 days and at the time of writing Dark Seas Games have raised $57,914 of their $160,000 goal.
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.
The Wii-U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines has missed its’ launch window. The game was supposed to be released by the 31st of March as per comment from SEGA. When questioned about the release this morning, SEGA responded with a simple “no comment”.
Aliens: Colonial Marines on the Wii-U is being developed by Demiurge Studios and is expected to be somewhat different to the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Will the game see the light of day or has the negative reception already received by the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions changed SEGA’s stance on the Wii-U release?
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.
Ron Gilbert, the man behind The Secret of Monkey Island and most recently The Cave, has left Double Fine to pursue his career in video games elsewhere.
Gilbert has said; “I want to thank all the amazing people at Double Fine for all their hard work on The Cave. It was a true pleasure to work with every one of them over the past two years. So much fun. I will miss them all. And of course to Tim for creating the opportunity to come there and make The Cave.”
NeoGAF user CrunchinJelly has spotted a listing by the Brazilian ratings board that lists Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse as an upcoming title for PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita and Wii-U. We assume this title will be re-released digitally.
Castle of Illusion was originally released for Mega Drive in 1990 and is highly regarded as one of the best Mickey games ever made.
No release date is set at this time. More on this as we get it.
