Here’s the latest episode of The Retro Game Review - a summary of September's retro gaming news. This month I look at a batch of fan translations being released, the latest retro releases to arrive on the 3DS and Wii, a book on Sensible Software that you should buy, and the end of the unofficial Nintendo magazine era...
Blaze Entertainment can now unveil the highly anticipated Codemasters Collection 1 Cartridge for Evercade; featuring some of the most renowned titles in British gaming history including Sensible Soccer, Cannon Fodder, Linus Spacehead and an unreleased title Tennis All-Stars. With 17 officially licensed games, this cartridge brings classic titles to the Evercade handheld, which also connects to your TV via HDMI.
well that is nice of them. I need to order me a copy as I have the full library so far.
GodisaGeek: "Recently, Gary had a chance to interview Jon Hare, the creator of legendary footie game Sensible Soccer, and most recently, Sociable Soccer. They talk about Jon's reasons for making another football game and the struggles with Kickstarter, improvements to the game, and plenty more."
Man, Phantasy Star can be confusing. There are so many different kinds of games in this series, but they all get tossed under the same umbrella. The oldest games are turn-based RPGs. The newer ones vary between MMOs and action-RPGs. Wouldn’t it be nice if things were simplified...
Phantasy Star online episode 1 and 2 is one my all time favorites. Just make that better...
What I need to know is when is Sega going to make and release Phantasy Star 5. All I need to know.
Even if they did, then i doubt it would be released outside of Asia. We haven't had a Phantasy Star game since Phantasy Star Portable 2, and that was 7 years ago !
I don't know why, but Sega seem's to have abandoned the west when it comes to Phantasy Star.
Pretty much. You would think that sequels to some of their franchises or remasters of games like Skies of Arcadia, Shenmue, Headhunter, Virtual On online, Jet Set Radio, etc would make them some easy cash as digital titles. Even VR titles of Virtual Cop, HofTD or even something crazy like Crazy Taxi VR. Nope. The Sega I knew just isn't there.
Maybe Sammy has them on a tight leash and just uses their assets for Pachinko games like Konami does. It's a shame being a Sega game fan but no Sega games to look forward to.
Seriously though! When I first saw this I thought I missed an announcement or something. I thought it was to prep people up for the next game. Damn
"Phantasy Star Online 2 (GameCube, 2012)"
May want to change that to (PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch, Android, PC and iOS, 2012)
I need to know when the fuck SEGA is gonna wake up and make a full on PSO 3 with the unreal 4 engine or some shit so I can get lost in the best god damn futuristic world with my pet mag as their god-tier PSO themed music blasts my ear drums forever and ever.
Wake the hell up SEGA, the time is NOW!
