SEGA announced a few new 3D Classics earlier this week. 3D Streets of Rage 2 is the first out of the bunch and is coming in July. 3D Gunstar Heroes and 3D Sonic The Hedgehog 2 are launching in August and September respectively.

SEGA hasn’t provided much information about 3D Gunstar Heroes and 3D Sonic The Hedgehog 2, but we do have a couple of details about 3D Streets of Rage 2. Famitsu reports that the game will support simultaneous two-player multiplayer via local play, though both users will need a copy. Also included are new systems like a mode called “Quartet” which allows you to use all four characters in sequence when playing alone.

Japan is getting 3D Streets of Rage 2 very soon. It’s slated for April 28, and will carry an 800 yen price point.

View some 3D Streets of Rage 2 screenshots below.

Imageepoch’s SRPG Stella Glow is officially making its way over to the US in 2015! We’ve heard very little about the game since it was first revealed back in October, but the last few weeks have been booming with Stella Glow news.

Here’s what ATLUS has to say about the upcoming SRPG:

Stella Glow, the role-playing game based on brand new IP from imageepoch, will be localized and published in the Americas by ATLUS. Players take on the role of Alto, a young knight who must convince Witches throughout the Regnant Kingdom to join his side and stop Hilda, the Witch of Destruction, and her cruel Harbingers. Use the forgotten magic of Song in battle by tuning allied Witches to unlock their full potential. Stella Glow is exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS™ system. More details on the localization and American release will be coming soon!

Stella Glow will is slated for a June 4th release in Japan and is being published by SEGA there. Since the localization announcement is just being made now, and plans are to release Stella Glow in the same year to the US, it’s probable that we’ll be seeing Stella Glow make its way over to the west sometime in the Fall.

Are you looking forward to getting your hands on Stella Glow? Personally, something about this game has this charm that I can’t quite pinpoint. I’m intrigued by its aesthetic, lovely name, unique mechanics and other factors. I’ll certainly be keeping my eye on this title in the upcoming months.

SEGA is pulling the plug on Initial D Perfect Shift Online. Today, the company announced that service for its game will end on June 30. SEGA stated that as it reflected on offering a satisfactory service for customers and the difficult situation, they decided to end the service.

Players will still be able to play Initial D Perfect Shift Online’s offline mode once June 30 has passed. However, if they delete any related data, the game is lost forever.

Initial D Perfect Shift Online seemed to have been a success for SEGA having racked up over 500,000 downloads. There was also talk about a sequel, though we haven’t heard much about it since December.

Thanks to Thiago H for the tip.
