Sega’s new app lets you remotely win prizes from a real claw machine in Japan

[ad_1] Prizes include plushies, pillows, towels and other anime-based collectables, and a go on the machine costs between 100 and 200 Sega Points — 130 points will cost you two bucks, although you can buy more at a discount (you can practice for free). You can also earn points for other activities, such as logging […]

Sega’s Genesis Mini is just $45 today

[ad_1] Following years of shoddy third-party consoles, Sega took matters into its own hands and produced a replica console worthy of the Genesis name. The Genesis Mini has everything we look for in a miniature: a faithful design, a great collection of games and solid performance. It scored 89 in our review back in September, […]

One fan’s struggle to fix the worst game in Sonic history

[ad_1] For now, only a handful of stages are available in P-06. According to Moris, only “very small snippets of pseudo-code” can be accessed or seen in Sonic 06‘s files. These digital tidbits include values, formulas and parameters for core character attributes, such as running speed and jumping height. They also provide some insight into […]

Microsoft is adding 10 ‘Final Fantasy’ games to Xbox Game Pass

[ad_1] With the blessing of Square Enix, Microsoft will add 10 Final Fantasy games to the service — technically nine if you consider Final Fantasy X: HD Remastered and Final Fantasy X-2: HD Remastered a single entry. The full list includes Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII: Remastered, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy XII: The […]

Two classic ‘House of the Dead’ games are being remade for current consoles

[ad_1] Originally released in 1996, House of the Dead leans hard into its campy style. The stories, characters and dialog are absurd, but in the best way possible. Notably, many of the zombies in the games are fast-moving, which was unheard of in the mid ’90s, long before 28 Days Later, which brought agile undead […]

Readers look back on Sega’s final console

[ad_1] Hardware Users were fond of the Dreamcast hardware — specifically the plethora of peripherals, along with the onboard LAN and CD playback. Jarcoz said that “the keyboard, mouse and VGA box — and the easy online access — made this console a huge step ahead and bridged the gap between PC and console gamers.” […]

Sega is becoming its weird and wonderful self again

[ad_1] Even in its darkest years, though, Sega made some good calls. Intelligent mid-2000s acquisitions like Creative Assembly (Total War) and Sports Interactive (Football Manager) were joined in the ’10s by Relic Entertainment (Warhammer 40,000) and Amplitude Studios (Endless Space) to form a strong division in “Sega West.” This policy seems to be continuing: Sega […]

‘Streets of Rage 4’ is shaping up to be a worthy sequel

[ad_1] The gameplay teaser that followed half a year later showed a 2D game that seemed to play like the originals, but the art style still didn’t seem “right.” Why is the art such a massive departure? Would the game feel as direct and satisfying to play? Those were the kind of questions I was […]

Sega’s remastered ‘Yakuza’ bundle for PS4 comes to the US

[ad_1] With the remaster, all three games now play at 1080p and 60 frames per second, meaning you’ll be able to navigate the series’ trademark recreations of Tokyo’s Kabukicho district in even more realistic detail. In addition to graphical enhancements, Sega says it has “re-localized” all three games, even going so far as to rewrite […]

‘Streets of Rage 4’ will be scored by an all-star group of composers

[ad_1] They’re not the only prominent names involved, either. You can also expect original music from Jet Set Radio‘s Hideki Naganuma, Kingdom Hearts‘ Yoko Shimomura and Ninja Gaiden‘s Keiji Yamagishi. It’s uncertain just to what degree they’ll be involved. All the same, it’s comforting to know that the fourth Streets of Rage installment will pay […]
