SegaShiro: Pure SEGA HARDCORE! The Sega Saturn Archive / Sega Dreamcast / Sega Archive

I’ve been interested in putting a couple of those SEGA ALLSTAR Racing toys on my work shelf to inspire me while I write these posts. The limited edition Ryo figure would be really nice but any of the ones that SEGA has released so far would work.

I know a couple of people who work in the toy industry and it is an intriguing line of work. If you have ever wondered how some of the SEGA toys are made, the folks at SEGA of America has posted a Q&A with one of the Product Developers at Jazwares who are responsible for the latest racers.

It is a neat little interview for those who have always wanted to the process behind the little things we love. Check it out.

We can argue back in forth if the cut content matters against the main storyline – when a unreleased title is essentially 100% cut content but let us focus on the very Zen appreciation of clarity.

I think it is worth compiling a list of cuts for the fanbase so they can make a informed decision about the title – no matter if they bought three copies or cancelled their pre-order.

This may be a list that needs updating and if you have insight – drop us a line by commenting on the article and we will add it to the post:

The North American box art for Yakuza 3 is pretty f’ugly. While the cover has no bearing on the content inside, the first fan makeover has been released and posted on angry-gamers.com.

Special thanks to Deekman from the SEGA forums for crafting this up in Photoshop – you sir – are a gentleman and a scholar.

The box used for the remake was the bilingual Canadian edition with French included.
