The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Your Genesis is about to get another new release! Kirito the Game is a beat-’em-up that was successfully crowdfunded earlier this year, and it will soon be punching its way onto consoles. Check out our teaser of an early version and see if this is one you’d like to add to your library when it finally arrives.
In the third and final part of our examination of Sega’s pinball history, we take a deep dive into its U.S. operations. Starting first as Data East Pinball, the company was soon bought by Sega, which had an amazing five-year run before selling it to Gary Stern. Join us as we look at this short-lived but dynamic part of Sega’s coin-op legacy!
After five quiet months, White Ninja Studio has issued an update on the state of its Genesis shmup that included a five-stage demo. While it doesn’t have a publisher, Irena: Genesis Metal Fury is close to completion. We went hands-on with the demo and liked what we played. Hopefully, this game will find a home and finally see release.
Neofid Studios is back with another title! This time, the group is bringing us a steampunk-themed shmup that’s also going to see release on the SNES and Neo Geo. The game has already been funded and smashed through all its stretch goals on Kickstarter, and if their previous work is any indication, we’re in for a real treat!
While Sega went in several directions with Altered Beast, fans have taken it upon themselves to provide a direct sequel to the arcade classic. Fabianodigital has released an alpha demo of the first level of his sequel, and the results are promising, even at this early stage. It looks like we’re getting another Genesis side-scroller for our Genesis!
