#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..

 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.

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

#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!

#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 Superstars - Announce Trailer

Big news, Sonic and Sega fans, while waiting for the Frontiers story DLC and Sonic Origins Plus, Sega just announced a brand new Sonic sidescroller! But not another Mania with lovely 2D artstyle, not even a Sonic 4-situation. Instead we have a modern sidescroller with Sonic Generation-style visuals!


 

Looking gorgeous! I like how Amy is being incorporated into "Team Sonic" lately. I feel like a modern Sonic Heroes would had Amy part of Sonic's team now. (Which also makes you wonder for the upcoming Sonic Movie 3...).

Retro designs! New powerups with the Emeralds! New animated cutscenes! And Fang the Sniper is back, finally! Also Sonic fans rejoice, Sonic co-creator Naoto Ohshima is back with Sega and Sonic Team and he will be designing a brand new character for the adventure (rumored to be some sort of armored pangolin people have seen in leaked material).

Can you believe this game's already coming this fall????

 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.

Trying to complete my game collection recently, I've ordered a few empty game cases to produce some cover art for my last remaining naked cartridges.
 

Here's some NES mod repros that also needed protective cases.

 

Here's some remaining Game Boy titles.


 And right here, this is probably my best cover to date, I'm so proud of the result of this one.

#Blog Wonder Boy/Monster World Complete Collection!

 Here's something new, the "Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection" which basically contains every single entry in the WB/Monster World series, not counting for modern entries or remakes. Only really missing the Adventure Island Wonder Boy 1-inspired subseries, but the owners of that series are Hudson Soft, so I'm guessing the rights lie at Konami nowadays.

Anyways, made a little tribute video to show the goodies as well as my own collection of Wonder Boy / Monster World games:

#Design - CustomCoverArt MD Sonic Gaiden & Sonic Halloween Edition

 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.

I got made some Mega Drive physical repros, of some Sonic hacks I really like. The pretty old but classic Sonic Gaiden by Yuski as well as the recent awesome Sonic 1 Halloween Edition. Of course that meant I got an excuse to make some new custom case covers.

#SEGAnews Sonic Frontiers IGN First - Teaser

 This is looking both pretty interesting and intriguing, and a tad bit generic/empty, as far as I'm concerned with open world/sandbox game designs. That's why I usually prefer shorter arcadey-type games. Wait and see...

#gamingNEWS Sonic Origins - Official Trailer

And finally a confirmation for the new Sonic compilation, a trailer and some sweet new animation to go along! How nice!

And it all comes out on Sonic's anniversary in june!

People are raving, I like to see these modern update get the physical treatment AND on console. Being able to play as the other characters, widescreen format and new challenges and bonus gimmicks. But I would love to see some more games get included in a compilation for once. Chaotix, come on! It's part of the original run if you include Sonic CD! Or even add some odd trivia like SegaSonic the arcade title and such..

Anyways, the new music and animation looks lovely and I'm all for it. Will these be included as cutscenes IN the games??

#GamingNEWS Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Mouthful Mode Reveal - Nintendo Switch

The new Kirby looks both epic on a Breath of the Wild kind of scale. But also funny and story-driven like Mario Odyssey. Like the next obvious step in Nintendo's current take on their franchises. I dig it! 

Might be the first Kirby I check out in a really long while.


#GamingNEWS KLONOA Phantasy Reverie Series - Nintendo Switch

 The two first Klonoa games are getting a re-release on the Switch! 

I can already imagine the game won't have a physical... outside Japan. So get to Playasia and pre-order it once you can!

#GamingNEWS Kao the Kangaroo (2022) - Official Announcement Trailer

 He's back! Kao the Kangaroo! (The original Dreamcast game was a neat if super-easy Crash Bandicoot-like clone.)

And it seems he's taking a lot of cues from Crash Bandicoot 4,  specifically the art style:

I really dig it. Looks better than any Kao game before! Sign me in!

#SEGAnews Sonic Frontiers - Announce Trailer

 To go along the new movie's trailer, Sega released a trailer for the upcoming new game, simply titled .

Well, more like an extended version of the previous trailer...

We get some ideas how the game might turn out/the scope of the game.. but nothing new really. No gameplay visual/footage... Wait and see..

(It kinda reminds me of all these Sonic openworld fangames.)

Sonic Frontiers is arriving Holiday 2022!

#SEGAnews Sonic Colors Ultimate - Launch Trailer | PS4

 Lots of harsh critics already. But you know what? I'm ready to re-try this enhanced Wii game.

It wasn't one of my favorites, never was. It doesn't make Top 5 in my own list, probably not even Top 10, to be honest. But I liked the funny zany cartoon-vibe from it. And so far from all the remixes I heard, I kinda prefer the new Re-Color OST already over the original songs.

#Blog Asha In Monster World!

 

So today I finally received it... Asha in Monster World!

The remake/expanded/new take on Monster World IV!
The game is awesome, it comes with the original title (in fact the manual covers both versions of Asha's adventure)! The original is perfect as always - fans of Shantae check out the title/series that inspired Wayforward's series. The new game kinda reminds me of the Tomba! series with the new 3D graphics and cartoony style.












 

And here's the new game along the original (on a repro card I got since the early 2000s).

Maybe I can showcase my entire Wonder Boy/Monster World collection one of these days, heh?

#GamingNEWS Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart – State of Play | PS5

 Some brand new Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart gameplay footage from the latest State of Play at Sony:

Am I the only one that find "Rivet" (both name and design) absolutely the cutest?

#Design - CustomCoverArt Switch Nefarious & Wonder Boy Returns

 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.

I redid a couple of Switch games covers, those few digital titles I had that didn't have proper physical releases (yet?). I kinda based these on the PC covert arts I did a while ago actually.
