SegaShiro: Pure SEGA HARDCORE!

Nagoshi talks about the only Nascar title I always enjoyed over the years.

I love Galactic Attack (aka RayForce). I credit it as the shmup that helped me “get” the genre. While this model might be from the sequel, RayStorm – I’m still pretty happy to see that a ship from the series is getting the PVC model treatment.

The Kotobukiya model is a 1/144 scale model will be out this December in Japan. It’s priced at ¥5,040 or roughly US$66.

I’ve been tracking the response on Radiant Silvergun the last couple of days to see how stellar but old school shooter is being received by modern reviewers – and so far it is good! Even IGN likes it (though their footage doesn’t show a whole lot of the game).

This makes me happy as the original was available to so few. Check out the review and write-up on Eurogamer as well. Nice reads.

I’ve put about 6 hours into the title and it much less forgiving than the original Saturn game. In that one, you earned continues in Story Mode. However, I am a much better player thanks to this version. I’ve opted to use one of the Street Fighter pad as that feels more like the Saturn version and all the weapons are nicely available.

I can’t wait until I get more spare time to put into the Treasure classic!

A classification entry was unearthed by XBLA fans from SEGA for Daytona USA! Sweet! The entry specifies that it is a multi-platform release.

One has to wonder if it will be an upgraded version of the already stellar Dreamcast version or will it be a tweaked iteration of SEGA Classic Racing?! That is of course assuming it is coming to XBLA and PSN and not to something like the iPhone. This random thought crossed my mind but SEGA should also add 3D support to their Arcade and DC remasters (just throwing that out there).

It is good to see that SEGA has managed to snag the rights to use the name once again. Hopefully we will hear an announcement soon! Oh, and can we have some SEGA RACE TV?
