Just when you think Japan can’t get any stranger when it comes to games, gadgets and gizmos, SEGA just go and raise that bar even higher. I don’t think Sonic even saw this coming. In a move completely out of the blue (and into the yellow), SEGA has turned awkward moments at the urinal into a full blown mini-game and no we are not taking the p*ss. When you see this you will be chugging bottles of water and filling those bladders to bursting point.
Not enough? How about an arcade game based around spanking and kancho?!
Not your thing? How about the infamous PS2 peripheral girl gamers have been using for 'other than their intended purpose'?
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.
