An art book will be included with all first-print copies of 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, SEGA revealed today. This includes pre-orders as well as a limited number of launch edition copies.

The book itself contains 28 pages. It will let fans see “a closer look at the design work that went in to creating the game’s esoteric character classes, ferocious dragons, vile monsters, and the environments that span three time periods.” The game and art book will also be packaged in a colorful outer box.

Rumor: Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice now slated for Fall 2016, Mario & Sonic Wii U in June

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 24 Comments

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice was originally slated for Fall 2015. Last September though, SEGA ended up pushing the game back to sometime this year. We’ve yet to receive any news updates since then.

A photo taken at Tomy’s booth from the New York Toy Fair may have revealed an updated release window. If what’s mentioned by the toy manufacturer is accurate, we won’t be seeing Fire & Ice until sometime this fall.

That’s not all though. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Wii U is rumored for June. And for those interested in the Sonic Boom cartoon, that’s apparently set to return this fall as well.
