SEGA is including a few new features in 3D Fantasy Zone Opa-Opa Bros., which will be out in Japan next week.

Siliconera reports that the downloadable title will allow players to change weapons on the fly via the 3DS touch screen. The game also includes four difficulty settings as well as an option to choose the amount of lives you want to start with (up to five).

Similar to SEGA’s previous 3D releases, you’ll also be able to choose between the Japanese and English versions and select different filters such as a CRT screen.

Gamasutra has posted a new Sonic Boom interview with Big Red Button Entertainment director Bob Rafei. There’s a lot here – how SEGA approached the studio, freedom given to re-imagine the franchise, making Sonic more western-friendly, and more.

We’ve rounded up a number of Rafei’s comments below. Gamasutra has even more from the developer.

3D Fantasy Zone Opa-opa Bros is the next entry in SEGA’s 3D Classics series. In Japan, it’ll be available next Wednesday for 762 yen.

In the UK last night, Bandai Namco used some of the most powerful projectors in the world to promote Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures.

Those who were driving along the M4 on Monday may have noticed that Pac-Man was standing 80 feet tall and plastered across the iconic SEGA building in Chiswick, West London. Sonic the Hedgehog was featured in conjunction with the promo to celebrate Ghostly Adventures’ launch.

But just a few minutes after the projection began, Bandai Namco says the plug was pulled “when security guards were alerted by local authorities as this was a stunt clearly designed to shock, delight and decorate Sega’s impressive building that graces West London.”

PR and marketing director for Bandai Namco Games UK Lee Kirton commented:

“We wanted to be cheeky, create some fun, but obviously do it quietly. Something that’s hard to do in the game’s industry, but slightly easier at midnight. We hope Sega aren’t offended, more delighted.”

An interesting – if not strange – series of events.

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures launches in the UK on March 7.
