City escape

Fans of urban snowboarding and killer bass lines will no doubt be stoked to learn that Sonic Adventure 2 is set to slide onto PSN later this year. The Dreamcast classic will be getting a fresh lick of paint, similar to other upgraded favourites such as Jet Set Radio and SEGA Bass Fishing. The original Sonic Adventure released on...

Gangsta's paradise

A Yakuza HD collection was outed recently, but now SEGA has officially confirmed the release of Yakuza 1 & 2 HD Edition. As well as all-new sparkly high definition visuals, it'll also feature Trophy and data install support to make your trip into the underground world of organised crime run just that little bit smoother. The...

Back to Kamurocho

It’s a good job Kazuma Kiryu and co are fictional characters, otherwise SEGA would be in big trouble for leaking the Tojo Clan’s plans. An errant listing uncovered by Andriasang appears to hint at the imminent release of a Yakuza HD Collection. The listing notes that PS2 titles Yakuza and Yakuza 2 will be lavished with the...

Christmas presence

SEGA's announced it'll launch Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on PS3 and PS Vita in Europe on 16th November 2012. The air, land and sea racer features famous faces from favourite franchises like Panzer Dragoon and Jet Set Radio, set to return on PSN later this summer of course. Will you take SEGA's latest racer for a...

It's all so quiet

You may have been elated to read on other websites yesterday that Phantasy Star Online 2 is heading overseas next year. Unfortunately, the official announcement only mentioned the PC release of the game – ominously ignoring the recently revealed Vita version. Puzzled by the announcement, Joystiq contacted SEGA a

Don't puke

Once again proving that the Yakuza franchise is arguably the best in games right now, SEGA has revealed a little more about veteran protagonist Kazuma Kiryu’s taxi missions in Yakuza 5. It’s still not clear why the former Tojo Clan chairman has switched the Sunshine Orphanage for a career behind the wheel, but the publisher has...

At last!

In a move that made at least one Push Square staff member a little too excited, SEGA has announced it's to re-release legendary SEGA Saturn game NiGHTS into Dreams on PSN later this year. The download will come with enhanced HD graphics, 16:9 widescreen support, leaderboards and Trophies, or you can relive the original 32-bit experience in...

Dream catcher

SEGA is teasing something to do with classic on-rails flying title NiGHTS into Dreams. The publisher uploaded an image of an industrial-like setting on its Facebook page earlier today, which fans have noted looks an awful lot like Stick Canyon from the original SEGA Saturn game. There’s some discussion that this could be related to...

Yeah, not bad

SEGA has announced the first DLC pack for PlayStation Vita title Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz in Japan. The free “Sonic Pack” will reward you with a statue of the blue blur which can be incorporated into custom stages using the game’s level editor. The peculiar primate puzzler is set to release overseas later this year.

Crazy taxi

SEGA’s Yakuza series is well known for its enjoyable mini-games. The heart of the franchise might lie with its self-serious narrative and wonderful characters, but part of what makes the series so enjoyable is its insistence on introducing alternative mechanics. Yakuza 5 is something of a reboot, and so it’s unsurprising to see the...

Holding back

Platinum Games’ arena brawler Anarchy Reigns was originally scheduled to release any time now. But while the game will still arrive in Japan early next month, those of you in North America and Europe will have to wait until Q1 2013. SEGA announced the news on Twitter, informing an eager fan that the game’s release had been...

Grab a spoon

A brand new Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz trailer has tumbled online. The footage shows off several stages from the upcoming primate puzzler, and even details the game’s level creation feature. Judging from the trailer, the gameplay looks as sweet as ever. Will you be tucking into Banana Splitz when it launches exclusively on...

Sad face

Despite being on display at Sony’s E3 booth, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F is not heading overseas. According to SEGA, the title is being shown off in order to “gauge interest” in the product, and while the game's commanded a fair amount of attention the Japanese publisher still has “no plans” to bring it to the West. At least the...

Go Daddy

Our favourite SEGA character Danica Patrick is set to make a cameo in Sumo Digital’s upcoming crossover kart racer, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. For some reason, the NASCAR driver will be a playable character alongside favourite faces such as B.D. Joe and Beat. She’ll drive a series of customised vehicles designed...

Almost, anyway

Last time we checked in with Jet Set Radio HD it was missing some of its licensed songs. But SEGA recently promised some good news regarding the re-release's soundtrack, and boy has it delivered. The publisher’s announced on its official blog that it has managed to land "99.9%" of the original soundtrack. That includes Rob...

Beep, beep

SEGA’s announced a collector’s edition for Aliens: Colonial Marines. The bundle – which is exclusive to Amazon in the UK – includes a resin powerloader figurine, a USCM dossier, and a limited edition hive box. You’ll also get a bunch of in-game content, including four playable movie characters, additional customisation options,...

Perez Hellton

French studio Arkedo is no stranger to pretty games, but its latest collaboration with SEGA looks set to kick things up a notch. The developer has released a brand new trailer for its upcoming shooter Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit, which is set to blast onto the PlayStation Network later this year. The game follows the story of...

We have no words

Legendary SEGA arcade racer Daytona USA and Namco's Ridge Racer finally collide after years of taking separate racing lines, with Ridge Racer on Vita set to get the legendary Daytona Hornet as DLC. The car hits Japan on 6th June, alongside a song called Ridge Racer: Ridge Racer USA Mix, which we can only assume mashes up the famous...

Different formula

We must admit, we did a double-take when SEGA announced orphan Haruka would be a playable character in Yakuza 5. The youngster is a world away from the angry men that typically populate the cast of SEGA’s niche adventure series. How is she going to fight? Many speculated that Haruka might have been trained by protagonist Kazuma...
