#SEGAnews Sonic Dream Team - Animated Intro

Not only is this Sonic Dream Team a (timed?) exclusive to Apple Arcade, and a return to 3D platform for Sonic, and it has several playable characters.. but the game also has another lovely animated opening + kickass music from Tee Lopes?

Come on Sega, last time you did exclusives it was the awful Sonic Boom game or that generic Sonic Lost World (which this seems a tiny bit inspired by).

Wow! Rouge! And Cream with a key role in the store? And I don't trust the new sheep girl...

#SEGAnews Sonic Dream Team - Announce Trailer

 New 3D Sonic game announced!

Yeah!!!

Playable Rouge! Playable Cream! Yes, multiple characters with their own styles!

Heck yeah, bring it on!

Lots of new stages inspired by "dreams and nightmares". No Green Hill Zone!

Let's go!!! LESSGO!!!

Exclusive to AppleArcade!

...waitWHAT?!?

Alright, we'll see if this or something similar comes out of the AppleArcade dmz. Either like Sonic Team Racing/Sonic Racing. Or stuck on it like other (good) games...

So far they released a trailer:

And we can have a look at the new villain "manipulating Eggman's dreams, a ram? A goat? A sheep? Let's call her Ram the Sheep for now. (or The GoatTM):

Wait and see what happens next... so far it kinda reminds me of a mix of a Sonic Lost World 2 crossed with a Sonic Heroes 2 with a dash of Advance series, not just for Cream's appearance. Wait and see indeed...

#GamingNEWS Beyond A Steel Sky - Apple Arcade Launch Trailer

So apparently there's a new Beneath A Steel Sky, a sequel to the classic Dave Gibbons-illustrated adventure game.

Titled Beyond A Steel Sky.

In fact it's already out on the console nobody has or heard of, the Apple Arcade. (It's the new Shantae all over again...) But fear not! It's later coming to PC, Mac, iOS and Linux!



It might be 3D but seems to retain its original look and type of gameplay. I can dig it. Let's wait and see..

#GamingNEWS Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

SEGA finally announced they got the Olympic Games license back from Ubisoft this year and will be making a bunch of games in time for the Tokyo 2020 games.

The main game being a new Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games for Nintendo Switch. They also revealed a generic game for other systems as well as an arcade and smartphone spinoff:

• Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
• Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Arcade Edition
• Olympic Games The Offical Video Game (PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch)
• Sonic At The Olympic Games - Tokyo 2020 (iPhone/Android)

And here's the trailer for the announcement:

#GamesCom17 FINAL FANTASY XV POCKET EDITION

FFXV is a divise game even among the most hardcore fans. I actually found it fun and enjoyable but I can see how it would detract longtime RPG fans of FFV, VI, VII, etc. But I do enjoy the throwbacks to the formula of the original Final Fantasy game way back in FF1!

Maybe it's just the hyper-realistic world of XV that throws people off? Well, good thing Square Enix just announced a superdeformed chibi take on XV, aka FINAL FANTASY XV POCKET EDITION.

It will be released exclusively for iOS and Android like some of their recent retro remakes. (And I could picture a Switch of Steam release later, if you ask me..). You can now take on the adventures of Noctis and his bros on the road all cute-like!

It's going to be a 10-episode adventure, the first one is available for free:



It kinda looks like a fanmade demake mockup from a while ago, only now it's official:

#Gaming NEWS! JACK KUDOS Fundraising Campaign @Indiegogo

[This article was sponsored by Lou Stone of the JACK KUDOS Team.]

Not long ago I was contacted to have a look at this Indiegogo-fundraised iOS game Jack Kudos.

It's a pretty fun project to make a socially conscious game for kids, revolving around "kudos", this game's main game mechanic.

It's being developed by a small team of enthusiastic developers and creators, not like your AAA-budget mainstream titles, and sounds fun and nice enough.

Here's the official video for the project:





You can check out the Indiegogo page here;

Where you can learn about the different tiers and goals to achieve.

It's all about boosting the self-esteem of kids and teach through video games. So, check it out! When the actual game will be released on IOS it will be free for everyone - and just $0.99 without ads!

#Ubisoft NEWS! Rayman Adventures - Reveal Trailer

Ubisoft just announced a new Rayman game. GREAT! I can't w- BUT WAIT, there's a catch! It's a smartphones game.

And it basically recycles assets from Legends and Origins...

Ubi said the game would feel like a console-quality experience and offer a lot more exploration around this huge world instead of a straightworward sidescroller platform game. But, I dunno...



I'm kinda disappointed this is not a true new installment/sequel.

Also, speaking of, WHERE'S BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL 2, UBISOFT????

#E3 NEWS! The Act looks Dragon's Lair-licious!

And last (?) for this year's E3, the best random surprise of the bunch, though I'm annoyed it's only for iOS Apple-stuff and not PC yet is probably The Act.
