SEGA open to creating more 3D Classics
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Screenshots | 8 Comments
SEGA recently announced three new 3D Classics. 3D Streets of Rage 2, 3D Gunstar Heroes, and 3D Sonic The Hedgehog 2 have been added to the latest wave rather than starting a new series of re-releases. While SEGA has no plans to produce a third wave at present, there’s definitely some interest there.
Famitsu recently spoke with SEGA’s Yosuke Okunari and M2’s Naoki Horii about the possibility of more titles. In response, the two said:
Yosuke Okunari (Sega Games): These games aren’t the start of a new series [of re-releases; rather, they’re the second wave of games within a series] so we have no plans for the future.
Naoki Horii (M2): None at all!
Okunari: These three titles were put out for download overseas simply as an extension [to the existing series]. This really is the end for the second wave [of Sega 3D Classics]. Of course we want to consider the development of a third wave based on the response to this second wave, but we have no plans at this point in time. We’ll look at the big picture, that is, we’ll look at the sales trends of the physical release of the Sega 3D Classics line that went on sale last year [in Japan] as well as how the upcoming three titles perform in the global market. We’re happy to do this indefinitely if sales are good.

SEGA is working on a demo for Hatsume Miku: Project Mirai DX, which is due out in Japan on May 13.
The demo features touch and button modes. “LOL -lots of laugh-” (Music by KeN, Lyrics by Endcape) and “Senbonzakura” (Music and Lyrics by Kuruusa P (White Flame)) will be included as two select songs. Those who have save data from Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2 can import their username and “My Phrase”, level of friendship between characters, and more into the demo.
There’s no word yet on whether the Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX demo will be distributed in the west. We’re certainly hoping that it will be!

Sonic Boom was once known as “Sonic Synergy”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 7 Comments
The website for Edward Moore, a UX/UI design consultant on Sonic Boom, reveals that the Wii U and 3DS games were known as “Sonic Synergy” at one point.
Moore’s site also houses images of UI diagrams and early concept artwork. Another image – shown below – also seems to depict a slightly different-looking Sonic.
As The Sonic Stadium points out, “Sonic’s arms are back to being tan in colour, spikes are also different, much more like the Sega Sonic version. Amy also has some differences too.”
