List of new physical releases

[Zebbe]

Here is a list of new physical releases. The homebrew scene started to explode around 2015 or so, so this list might be incomplete. But at least all the major releases are covered and plenty more. Thanks to nitelich for the list, replacing my old outdated one!

If anything is missing or needs to be updated, please quote this post and add an entry where suited, then PM me your updated version and I'll have this post edited.

Other new release lists:

• YaroNet Thread - The game list is kept pretty well up to date, but some of the games' current statuses are outdated
• SegaRetro Wiki - Up to date through about 2017.

Analogue also released Ultracore as a pack-in game for the Mega Sg earlier in the year. A cartridge release was unexpected, given Analogue's history with prior pack-in games. Regardless, the "limited run" nature of this cartridge release, along with a lack of protection against or concern with scalping, has led to accusations of profiteering.
Ultracore (Columbus Circle Version)	October 17th 2019	Release of old game	DICE	Columbus Circle	Platformer	As with other Columbus Circle offerings, available via order on Amazon.jp.	Forum Thread. Announced 07/2019, shortly after the SLG versions for NTSC-US and PAL. Analogue also released Ultracore as a pack-in game for the Mega Sg earlier in the year.

All the facebonus links go to a page that show no pics of said games.

Confirmed. It's a no go for the facebonus links. Guess the project either was cancelled or forgotten about.

[Zebbe]

They don't seem to have any pages specifically for their games, just a site with the forum, news and shop so that's why I put it there.

[Gentlegamer]

I just pre-ordered the reprint of Pier Solar.

[WuTang]

Look forward to playing it ( next year)

I didn't hear about it. Do you have any more info to share about it?

QuickScifi: I paid for and received Magic Girl. Paid for SupraKillMinds but haven't received that one yet, they are still shipping 'em out. You should ask about Magic Girl on their forums.

[EPSYLON EAGLE]

And Bill Tomato does not count?

[Zebbe]

No, it's not licensed by the IP owner (which is Sony, since they bought Psygnosis in 1993).
