A new trailer for A Certain Magic Virtual-On has been unleashed at the Tokyo Game Show and we finally get our first look of the game in action. This title is a crossover game that features characters from the Dengeki Bunko light novel series A Certain Magical Index fighting it out in the mechs from the Virtual-On franchise. This is the first new Virtual-On title since Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Marz in 2003 for the PS2. Check out the new trailer by clicking below:
A Certain Magic Virtual-On will launch for PS4 and PS Vita on the 15th of February 2018 in Japan. There is currently no word on a Western release for the game.
E3 2017 is here and it’s brought lots of new details regarding Sonic Forces, Sonic Mania, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. First up we have a new trailer for Sonic Forces which shows us a little more gameplay of each of the 3 gameplay styles as well as the reveal of a new villain. The new villain looks like a Sonic-styled hedgehog but he has a glitchy look about him. His reveal is prefaced with the symbol for infinity which has many speculating the character is called Infinity or Infinite. Check out the trailer below:
IGN have also posted 7 minutes of direct feed Sonic Forces gameplay that showcases the PS4 Pro version of the game. Worth mentioning is the brief look at the avatar menu which sees the customer character wearing some rather snazzy Mega Drive-branded footwear. Sonic Forces launches on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Switch in Q4 2017. You can watch the new gameplay here:
Now we move onto Sonic Mania and more specifically the Nintendo Switch version. IGN have had some hands-on time with this version and shared 6 minutes of gameplay which features Act 2 of Green Hill Zone complete with a reveal of the stage’s boss. We also get another look at the Mirage Saloon stage. Sonic Mania launches on PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One on August 15th 2017. Take a look below:
Next up we have a new trailer of the PS4 Yakuza remake, Yakuza Kiwami. The game will release on August 29th 2017 and if you pre-order now you can secure a limited edition steelbook case. Check out the new trailer below:
Finally we have a new trailer for Yakuza 6 which also reveals the game’s subtitle, The Song of Life. The trailer reveals a portion of the game’s story which sees Kiryu discovering that Haruka has had a baby and Kiryu is trying to learn who the father is. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is due for release in early 2018 for PS4. You can watch the new trailer by clicking the embed below:
Another classic Sonic stage is making its way to Sonic Mania in the form of a remixed Chemical Plant Zone.
The new version of Chemical Plant Zone brings a whole host of new gimmicks with it. We’ve got mega-mack that can change colour which gives it different qualities like making it more springy, we’ve got sticky surfaces that you can launch yourself from and we’ve also got a new DNA-style transporter for launching Sonic/Tails/Knuckles onto higher paths.
Check out the trailer below to see the new stage in action:
We’ve also got a new image of a Green Hill Zone act 2 boss which you can view by clicking here (WARNING: SPOILERS). This image comes courtesy of tech site Venture Beat and they may have leaked this image early as the caption doesn’t match up with what it’s showing.
Sonic Mania launches on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch on the 15th of August 2015.
SEGA have unveiled the first extended look at Classic Sonic’s gameplay from Sonic Forces. It resembles his gameplay from Sonic Generations very closely except keen-eyed viewers have noticed his move-set may have been expanded to include the drop-dash from Sonic Mania.
The stage featured is a remixed version of Green Hill Zone that has been flooded with sand, a result of “the heavy desertification caused by Eggman’s industries”. Check out the gameplay trailer by clicking below:
Sonic Forces is scheduled for release in Winter 2017 for Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Its development is being lead by Sonic Team.
An E3 trailer for 3DS RPG 7th Dragon III Code: VFD has appeared. The US release of the game is due this Summer and we’ve got some fresh gameplay to look at:
7th Dragon III Code: VFD launches in the US on 3DS this Summer. An EU release has yet to be confirmed.
We have a new trailer for the Western release of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X. A whole host of new songs are featured in the trailer so take a look below:
Pre-ordering Project Diva X will give you access to a pre-order bonus. The game will come with a Project Diva X glasses pouch. Directly playing to us Miku nerds, eh SEGA?
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X launches in the West on the 30th of August 2016 on both PS Vita and PS4.
Finally; some E3 SEGA action! First up today we have a new trailer of the Western version of Yakuza 0. My favourite thing about this title is that defeating enemies results in a delicious spray of money. Check it out:
Sonic the Hedgehog will be making his way into Lego Dimensions. A new trailer that confirms additions for the second year of the game’s existence has revealed that Adventure Time, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, E.T. and most importantly, Sonic the Hedgehog himself will be playable in the game. This obviously means a Lego mini-fig of Sonic is also in the works. Check out Sonic’s reveal in the below trailer:
There are no details as to what Sonic’s appearance in Lego Dimensions fully entails. We don’t know whether Sonic’s addition will come as a part of a story pack, level pack, team pack or fun pack and we don’t know what additional characters from the Sonic franchise will also be appearing. The above artwork does hint that Sonic’s vehicle might be the Tornado if that little bi-plane next to Voldemort is anything to go by. We’ll update this story with more details as we get them.
E3 is right around the corner and now we’ve got a brand new E3 trailer of Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice for the 3DS. This is the first look at the game since it was delayed for a year to give it, “the time and polish needed”. Has the delay been worth it? You be the judge:
That definitely looks like a sequel to Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal to me.
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice launches on 3DS in September this year. Those lucky Americans can also pre-order a special edition which comes with a bonus DVD that contains some select episodes of the TV show.
A new trailer for the arcade version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games has appeared.
The arcade cabinet is an elaborate little thing with a step sensor for events that involve running and two massive joysticks you have to rhythmically fondle for the other events. You can get a little peak at the various events in the new trailer below:
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games launches in arcades worldwide some time this year. It’s exhausting just looking at it.
