The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Don’t let the odd weather fool you! It’s still perfectly fine to stay inside and play all those great games you’ve been meaning to get around to. December is a great time of year to catch up on the ol’ Pile of Shame, and hopefully you were all nice enough this year to get some of the games on your want list. Check out what our staff and readers have been playing this month and see if Santa treated them better than he did you!
By now, family has left, you’re wondering what you’re going to do with all those leftovers, and people have lost their collective minds over discounted merchandise. Instead of braving Black Friday, why not stay at home and play some great games? For many, the long weekend was a perfect time to work on that Pile of Shame that’s been accumulating all these years!
When most people think of game releases, they tend to think of Japan, Europe, and North America. For Sega, however, one of the most important regions was South America, most notably Brazil. Tectoy was Sega’s partner in the country, and it saw major success there. We recently chatted with its president, Stefano Arnhold, about Tectoy and its efforts.
If you’ve read our preview of Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, then you’re undoubtedly awaiting its release. We’ve spoken to the game’s producer, Thomas Kern, for more information, and he was kind enough to shed some light on this highly anticipated title!
The classic Monster World series is returning! Though the name might be different, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is a true entry in the franchise in every other way. With series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa leading development and Yuzo Koshiro composing the music, this is perhaps the Monster World game we’ve been waiting two decades for!
