Sega have announced a new mobile game, and usually I'd struggle to care but: 404 GAME RE:SET ‐エラーゲームリセット‐ (aka we like to give wikis a challenge) Yoko Taro (of Nier fame) is working on an RPG where Sega has altered history and now has complete control over everything. You have to fight back, and you get help from... video games turned into anime girls and oh look I don't care anymore. https://errorgamereset.sega.com/ Segagaga in reverse then, maybe. idk.
With a dash of SeHa Girls as well, except games this time. It'd be one thing if the designs were actually decent, but... as much as this is mostly pitched at people might not even know these games, I think there is such a thing as being too subtle, and surely Yugen of Atelier fame could've done better than this? I couldn't even tell what this one was supposed to be at first, until I spotted the Virtua Gun - and apparently I wasn't alone in this. Compare that to the SeHa Girls, where the average person even vaguely aware of Sega's consoles could confidently guess what most of them represent. Also according to this Famitsu article with the producer, games by other companies are going to be implemented. Exactly which remains to be seen though.
Games like this pop up in my YouTube feed every now and then. I've learned to not click on them because a) I'm not very good at Japanese and b) they're all the same. For example, there's this one called "Dolphin Wave", which at first glance looks like a racing game with jet skis and shooting. Turns out it's got a card-based battle system and that's about it. I fully expect this to be the same deal here, unfortunately. Or, who knows, it could be like Dx2 Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation, which was actually pretty decent, with a good localization and all.
