#GAMINGnews The Duskbloods – Nintendo Direct | Nintendo Switch 2

 Only one real title caught my eyes for the Switch 2 so far..

#SEGAnews Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Announce Trailer

 New Sonic Racing game announced!

What can we say already aside from the fact this looks pretty fun? 

Looks like a mix of all previous Sonic/Sega racing games. I see "transformed" mechanics, extremeboards/overboards, lots of characters, SAGE is here! A few references to the storybooks/Secret Rings stages...

This seems pretty good so far!~

#gamingNEWS DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT - DAIMA - Adventure Through The Demon Realm DLC - Announcement Trailer

 Wait....WHAT??? DBZ Kakarot is still receiving DLC... and it's Dragon Ball DAIMA DLC???? Oh, I see "part 1", they're just gonna adapt the beginning of the new series...but...What?????

It might be fun. But it is such a weird move from Bandai Namco. And I see they announced DAIMA DLC for all their games, Xenoverse, Sparking Zero... wow...

#gamingNEWS Burnice Character Demo - "A Burnice Special for the Brokenhearted" | Zenless Zone Zero

 The trailer that sold me on to the last Hoyolab game, the gameplay is pure hack 'n' slash Nier style and that's good too:

A meme trailer!! They made a meme trailer! I might be late to post this here, but I've been replaying it all the time. I love how they got a hour long upload of the song too. hahaha

Alright, I'll try your free-to-play-game...

#GamingNEWS Five Laps at Freddy's + Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic - Teaser Debut

Apparently this will be a month of news and goodies for FNAF fans. And they just started this announcing a new fun-but random spinoff game AND teasing a new proper horror game.

Check this out,

I'll admit, I'm kinda hyped for both...

#Design - CustomCoverArt NES Alien 2 - Aliens, Halloween October 31st, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday The 13th Return To Camp Blood & Candyman Be My Victim

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

Since I got my hands on a bunch of obscure NES horror homebrew titles, I decided to give them cases, using some of the available art. Gotta love 8-bit horror!!

#GamingNEWS Yooka-Replaylee! | Reveal Trailer

 Yooka-Laylee is back! Not with another 3D or 2D game! But a remake?? Of the first not that old-game????

Well, a lot of people did complain back then about the off-physics, the camera, etc. So this is a complete overhaul of the game, from the ground up, new engine, etc. An update wouldn't work.

I'm fine with it, but I guess I kinda expected a new game instead, I like the joke about a new game Newka-Laylee at the end of the trailer. Very Banjo Tooie..

#NINTENDOnews some games from this last Nintendo Direct

 A ton of stuff was showed during the last Nintendo Direct! Well, some stuff caught my eyes, including...

Another recent DK game, Donkey Kong Country Returns, is being ported to the Switch. Kinda weird to have this one released after the sequel, but there it is.

Metroid fans have been eating good lately. Re-releases. A new 2D title. And it's time for the new 3D title, it's about darn' time! Prime 4 is here!

While I'm more hyped to see Luigi Mansion 2 re-released outside a handheld system, Mario & Luigi fans rejoiced, the series is back as well! After Mario RPG and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, it's time for Mario & Luigi: Brothership to make a comeback! I admit, I never tried this series...

And finally, my favorite surprise in the bunch... a brand new Zelda game!

Not only that, a "brand new" game, not another port or remake.

Not only that, but using the same artstyle as Link's Awakening! Which is a great idea, it would be dump to not use that style direction for one more game!

And not only that but a game where you play as Zelda! It's truly a Legend of Link instead this time around! She got her own smart gameplay, since Link uses the triforce or courage with his weapons, she uses the triforce of wisedom..and therefore powers based on magic!

AND the gameplay seems to be a mix of the openworld sandbox of the last couple of main Zelda games mixed with the upgrade-gating progression of the classic games. It all sounds pretty interesting.

AND AND AND.. it's already coming this september!! 

I'm all in! Can't wait!!

#GAMINGnews DOOM: The Dark Ages | Official Trailer 1 (4K) | Coming 2025

Here's a big new announcement...

New Doom game coming up, DOOM: The Dark Ages! Coming in 2025 for Xbox GamePass, Xbox Series X|S, PC or PlayStation 5.

Here's the badass teaser:

Can't wait! Looks cool! And I see they're still exploring lore, going back to the past. Am I the only one getting some Quake 1 vibes from this??

Got some repros of unreleased and hacks, so here's some recent custom cover art I made for these projects.

#MarvelNEWS Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra | Story Trailer

 So that's the long-rumored Captain America/Black Panther game (plus bonus surprise Wolverine?), heh? The CG trailer does sound pretty cool, let's wait to see how the game looks as well...

#SEGAnews Sonic Superstars - Shadow Costume

 Super cute Shadow costume coming to Sonic Superstars!

It's free, download it!

#HorrorNEWS a couple of Silent Hill stuff

 Decades without any Silent Hill news, suddenly a few SH projects all coming around the same time.

 Silent Hill: The Short Message Reveal Trailer (4K) | State of Play 2024 

 

Konami has announced a first-person Silent Hill game, The Short Message, will be free-to-play later today on PS5.

 Silent Hill 2 Remake - Gameplay Reveal Trailer | State of Play 2024 

Check out the latest Silent Hill 2 Remake trailer from the January Sony State of Play.

Still hyped for this one. But I'd rather see a new episode, the classic SH2 is still very much enjoyable and playable.

#gamingNEWS Alone in the Dark - Official 'Everything You Need to Know' Trailer

 New Alone in the Dark-reboot trailer! And the game is looking pretty good so far!

Not sure that would be my first casting choice, but I love how close it feels to Alone 1 and the Dreamcast episode.

Alone in the Dark is launching on March 20 for PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series S|X, and PC.

#GamingNEWS Rise of the Ronin - Official Gameplay Overview Trailer (4K) | State of Play 2024

 Another Samurai game, sounds right up my alley! After the excellent Ghost of Tsushima, I'd rather have another original Samurai game than a sequel (cough..).

#SEGAnews SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS - Announce Trailer

W..what?? What the heck?? An official Sega-licenced product called "SONIC X SHADOW"??

 So the rumors were true...

Sonic Generations is back, the latest re-release following Sonic Colors Ultimate and Sonic Origins Plus. But instead of an Ultimate remaster we're getting an enhanced port and it's called:

 

SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS!

Apparently it's a brand new experience with Shadow including a lot of stages from SA2 and Shadow the Hedeghog and a new story (I never expected to see Black Doom or the Black Arms return...!). The Biolizard boss fight from Generations 3DS. And "alongside" the classic complete Sonic Generations game. 

Kind of like what Nintendo did Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, I'd say. Here's the trailer:

This means this year will really be "The Year of Shadow"! I'm expecting to see IDW do a Shadow one-shot like they did for Tails and Amy.

 

The game's coming in Autumn 2024!

#GamingNEWS Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - Gameplay Reveal Trailer | Xbox Dev Direct 2024

 And here it is, the Indy game from the Wolfstein people:

This looks...pretty nice actually!

Finally a new Indy game, cant wait!!

#Blog - The SEGA Bingo card is live!

There's been a surge of new Sega announcements lately making me believe we might be actually seeing a Sega revival play out, considering the last few remasters and indie sequels they also produced.

I've updated this bingo card with the 5 new announced titles, but not the licenced renewed, let's wait to see some concrete announcements first.

This is the Sega revival I hoped after the post-Dreamcast era when Sega was pumping out a ton of titles on Gamecube, Xbox and PS2 (and GBA), but which kinda didn't take...

And we almost got it around the 2010s with a bunch of compilations and 3DS remakes, but that died as well..

Here's my Bingo card. I make a clear distinction between remakes/remasters, which is nice but doesn't bring anything new I couldn't play on my classic Sega consoles, and actual new game installments. For example, I still hope to see a proper new Alex Kidd with brand new worlds and stages to explore. And Shenmue got both (but you can still bring us Shenmue 4!).

Let's see if we can complete a line or column! 

ONE LAST THING those last two lines are a just a dream.. this is my wishlist, I'm putting my dream projects down.

Also none of the series that keep Sega alive, like Sonic, Yakuza.. There's always some new Shining in Japan.. not counting the Phantasy Star Online games which took over the classic Phantasy Star series. It's my selection of favorite Sega franchises.

#GamingNEWS Jurassic Park: Survival | Announcement Trailer

 Several years ago there was a survival horror JP game in development.. then it got canned... After Alien Isolation, another horror game was put in development, called Jurassic Park Survival. Then.. it got canned.

I'm not sure if this is still the same game, built upon the ideas of those previous two scrapped horror game, but we finally just got the random announcement of a new Jurassic Park: Survival coming next year!

This looks pretty good, there's some gameplay stuff at the end there... the dinos look fantastic! I CANT WAIT!!!
