SEGA’s console-based 3DS themes were created with authentic sound

SEGA has been releasing several 3DS themes in Japan based on classic consoles. Two more came out this week: one based on the SG-1000, and another for the Dreamcast.

How’d SEGA go about making these themes anyway? Photos from the company’s Yosuke Okunari provide some interesting insight. Through pictures shared on Okunari’s Twitter account, it’s revealed that SEGA actually used the old consoles in recording sounds for the themes.

Specifically regarding the SG-1000 3DS theme, Okunari commented:

We wanted to recreate the short “Buu” sound when turning on the console for the SG-1000 theme and so we brought the console to the studio for recording. However, that sound varies depending on the software so we started up roughly 20 games and chose the one which sounded the most authentic.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

A couple of new character profiles are in for Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei. Today we learn about Maya as well as Ansel. For their full bios, read on below.

Maya (voiced by Yumi Uchiyama)
Maya is a maid with the Rovina family who waits on Ares hand over foot. Her lordly demeanor, coupled with her knowledge and insight into world affairs proves to be usedful as she goes about educating Ares. She also seems knowledgeable about magic and the military, although the source of that remains entirely unknown. Her past is utterly shrouded in mystery.
Ansel (voiced by Junji Majima)
Ansel is the son of a carpenter from a former Bright territory with close ties to the Imperial Army. He lives an easygoing life, but once the war starts, he joins up with a band of vigilantes. Though he’s memorized military tactics, he doesn’t understand their deeper meaning and nuances. Around women, he’s often a slovenly human being, but nevertheless hates making mistakes.
