  1. A Hedgehog Dash HD - Super Quick Multiplayer Racing Adventure

    23 August 2013 - 03:47 PM

    So this little gem popped up on my Twitter feed not too long ago that I couldn't pass up sharing with you guys: Sonic Dash a little too mainstream for you? Why not give Jiffy The Hedgehog a try instead!?

    Quote

    Jiffy the hedgehog needs your help racing across the forest with his buddies! Compete with your friends and the clock in this super fun multiplayer adventure. Fun for the kids and the entire family!

    FEATURES

    •35 challenging levels racing the hills through the forest
    •Compete against friends and the clock
    •5 awesome air tricks for extra points
    •Collect rings to boost your score
    •Unlockable characters and power boosts
    •Level skips for those un-passable levels


    So... How long do you guys think it will take before Sega slams a Cease-and-Desist on this app? :v:

  2. Sonic 1 to get the 3DS treatment.

    07 May 2013 - 09:11 PM

    Just announced for the 3DS eShop, but only for Japan at the moment.
    I'm hoping this reaches the US. Until then, we got Taxman's remake coming out soon.

  3. Shenmue 3 might be funded through Kickstarter

    03 March 2013 - 03:17 PM

    Yu Suzuki wants "Shenmue 3" to become a reality, and funding it through Kickstarter might make it happen.

    Quote

    Ever wish you could get your hands on a third entry into the Shenmue franchise? Well, you might just be in luck. A tweet published by Sebstian-Abdelhamid claims that legendary game developer Yu Suzuki wants to crowdsource Shenmue 3. Sebastian works in French TV and is part of the Monaco Anime Game Show, so his credentials speak for themselves.

    The tweet is published in French – as expected – but reads, “Yu Suzuki just said that he is thinking about a Kickstarter to fund the Shenmue 3 developement ! #MAGS”

    Given the success of other Kickstarters such as Wasteland 2 by inXile Entertainment and Double Fine's adventure title, we're betting that if this does happen, it will more than likely be the largest success in video game crowdsourcing yet. Fans have been awaiting a return to the open-world of Shenmue since the series’ second iteration in 2001. This was when the first Lord of the Rings movie came out, for reference. Feel old yet?

    Perhaps the greatest sacrilege that was made can be found in the fact that Shenmue was supposed to be a trilogy. While circumstances surrounding the cancellation of development are unclear, many believe that SEGA didn't want to or couldn't fund its development. The Dreamcast's failing may have contributed to this sort of thinking, but that is simply speculation.

    We're extremely excited to hear about anything related to Shenmue. The series is long due for a conclusion, and given the time in between iterations, maybe Suzuki has different plans for the franchise.


    So... Do you guys think it'll actually happen? Personally, I think it will. I mean, if TWO games originating here on Retro can get successfully backed (Freedom Planet and The 90s Arcade Racer), then I think Shenmue 3 can get backed too.

  4. Sega Genesis Cordless Elite

    21 January 2013 - 10:46 AM

    So while looking around on eBay today, I stumbled across This auction for something called the "Cordless Elite" for Sega Genesis, which is essentially just a wireless controller for the system. Only problem was that this was never released, and only this mockup exists for it. That and this magazine scan for it:

    So... Is this worthy enough to get a page on SegaRetro? Just wonderin'.

  5. Sonic Jump

    05 October 2012 - 10:13 AM

    Sega just revealed this on their Twitter account.

    Yeah, I dunno. This was JUST announced. No screenshots, no trailer, just... artwork! And that's it! Discuss... I think?
