"Sega has been re-releasing some of their classics like Space Harrier and Ecco the Dolphin for Nintendo 3DS with added and whistles. The 3D Ages titles have been upgraded with stereoscopic 3D visuals and occasionally gyroscopic control that let players simulate sitting in an arcade cabinet. All of these enhanced 3D Classics are available on the eShop and Sinobi reports six of them will be bundled onto a cartridge inJapan.
Sega 3D Reprint Archives includes Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone OpaOpa Brothers, Outrun, Streets of Rage, Shinobi III, and Ecco the Dolphin for 3,980 yen, which is about the same price as buying all six games separately. The compilation is slated for release on December 18."
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
I've been begging for SEGA for this. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE come to the US.
