SegaShiro: Pure SEGA HARDCORE!

So, this is a thing.

Here is another Kickstarter title that looks stunning. They have a little alpha version up that can give you sense a of gameplay.

I tried the slice last night and came away impressed with its art style and its RTS gameplay. Check it out. I would love to play this game on either the 3DS or even better on the Wii-U.

The game is funded at 186% with $60,468 but the stretch goals of $65, 535 and $75, 000 have yet to be hit. With 5 days left, Nintendo fans should look into this one. I am planning to bid later in the week if makes the 3DS funding.

[Update] The game has nearly reached its $75000 goal for the Wii-U. That’s HD assets. DO WANT. There is a $15 add-on if you want to secure a copy for 3DS and the Wii-U (provided it gets there).

SEGA…please hear me. Do something interesting. I miss you. E3, maybe?

This fell into my inbox the other day and while I don’t have an Android phone – it is pretty damn cool. Retro Road is anetro Road is an interactive Live Wallpaper for Android featuring a retro rendered road.

It takes its inspiration from 80′s SEGA arcade racers like Outrun and Super Hang On. You can purchase it on the Google Play store for 99 cents.

One of my favorite memories of the Sega Genesis is playing Road Rash 3 at friend’s house. Driving up the scaling highway on Superbike and smacking people with a bat brought smiles to my face.

In my mind, the series hasn’t seen a proper sequel since the Sega Saturn era…which was a marvelous little title in its own right that captured the essence of the Mega Drive games.

This kickstarter is looking to bring back that style of gameplay to Wii-U and to PCs by hitting a $160,000 goal. THe game is being designed using Unity. Currently the kickstarter is about half way there. And yes, I am a backer of the Wii-U Tanooki tier at $17.

Definitely give the team a lookout if capturing the feeling of a lost classic appeals to you! Also, while I may be busy working 7 days a week and haven’t gotten to video reviews – just know that I’ve been busy backing important games (look for my mug if you pick up Shovel Knight) and working for Nintendo (letting them know the Wii-U needs more games dammit – I also may have written a comment or two asking for Earthbound).
