Dreamcast shooter “Under Defeat” is coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
Oct 26th
In Spring 2012, G.Rev will be bringing the shooter “Under Defeat” to the HD-consoles! Originally an Arcade game running on Sega’s Naomi board, the game has been ported over to the Dreamcast in 2006 and is now ready for a new audience to be discovered! There are now information on whether or not this will make it to the West and if it is a retail or download release. If it will be a download release, I don’t see why it wouldn’t come to the west, as the recent Sega Saturn releases seem to be quite popular!

Oct 22nd
It has been announced that the Dreamcast classic Soulcalibur will be heading to iOS platforms around January/February of 2012. This coincides with the release of SoulCalibur V for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. SoulCalibur on my iPhone sure sounds like a great idea to me!

Get Super Monkey Ball and Streets of Rage 2 for free on iOS!
Oct 22nd
Super Monkey Ball is going to be free this Sunday, October 23rd, only while Streets of Rage 2 will be free the next Sunday. While they are only free for 24 hours, this is quite amazing if you don’t have these games yet. Sure, this is in a way an advertisement campaign for the other games, since there is a second Monkey Ball game for iOS and the other two Streets of Rage titles are also available on there. Or does this even hint at something new coming for these two franchises on iOS devices?

Well, they have 11 days to release this one on time now, so let’s hope it comes soon!

Sega is no stranger to self-irony in this new Sonic CD trailer
Oct 19th
I really enjoy this trailer way more than I actually should. It features just enough cheesyness to make it oh so tasty and this includes a VERY polished Sega Genesis and Sega CD model. Look at how shiny that thing is! It makes my eyes hurt!
Outside of that, nothing too new to see here. Are you people going to pick this up when it’s released on the downloadable platform of your choice?
