Back in July, SEGA renewed its Skies of Arcadia trademark. The game has long been rumored to be seeing a re-release as an HD port.

SEGA currently has three Dreamcast titles on the way that will be coming out with a fresh coat of HD paint.

Jet Set Radio HD is due out in a couple of weeks. Sonic Adventure 2 and NiGHTS should arrive shortly thereafter. Once those titles are out of the way, maybe SEGA will announce Skies of Arcadia HD… we can only hope!

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo fans found a spectacular way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic Kirby™ video game character. On Sept. 1 at the PAX Prime conference in Seattle, 536 attendees gathered together and set a new Guinness World Records® achievement for the most people blowing a chewing gum bubble simultaneously. Participants had fun blowing bubbles that resembled the round, pink Kirby and helped Nintendo of America celebrate, after a representative from Guinness World Records confirmed the official record-setting count.

The new world record added to the growing excitement about Kirby at PAX Prime, where attendees had an early chance to experience Kirby’s Dream Collection: Special Edition for the Wii™ system. Launching Sept. 16, this commemorative game collection includes six classic Kirby games on one disc, plus a commemorative booklet, a music CD and an interactive timeline that gives players a fun way to explore Kirby’s colorful history. Since debuting in 1992, Kirby has starred in 22 video games that collectively have sold more than 33 million units worldwide. His distinctive appearance and unique ability to inhale enemies and copy their abilities have made him a fan favorite for two decades.

Right now, GameStop’s stock of titles only dates back to the GameCube/PS2/Xbox generation or so. That could be changing in the future.

GameStop CEO Paul Raines revealed to The Verge that the retailer is currently mulling over the possibility of adding classic game cartridges and discs to its online website for purchase.

“We’ve got them. We think there’s a vintage sales opportunity, so we’re accumulating some inventory. It’s a big idea, and there’s a few problems with it. The first one is sourcing the product, the condition, the refurbishment, all that stuff. But there’s a customer for it. And we’re working on some stuff we haven’t announced yet. If you go to eBay and look at all of the gaming stuff that’s on there, it’s unbelievable. Collector’s stuff. We’ve got to be in that business. We will be.”

Raines explained the thinking behind bringing vintage games to its website:

“Our website is becoming unbelievably rich. We can’t just be trying to go head-to-head with Amazon, beating each other to death on delivery dates. We do plenty of that. But we’ve got to be a destination for gamers where, for cool stuff for gaming, you’ve got to go to Gamestop.”

So nothing is set in stone… but it sure sounds like it could happen. It would be pretty neat seeing NES classics and other games on GameStop’s site.
