OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast is a fine entry in Sega's long-running arcade racing series, and the PC version of the game has just benefitted from a timely update. As spotted by @AVGN82, the PC edition now has improved reflections, better support for controllers, support for Xbox Series impulse...

While it has since gone down as one of Saturn's best games, it's easy to forget that NiGHTS into Dreams was greeted rather coolly by some sectors of Sega fandom back in the day – mainly because it was a game by Sonic Team that didn't feature Sonic. Thankfully, those same disappointed punters...

When Nintendo released Star Fox – the first game to be powered by the Super FX chip – it was inevitable that its big rival Sega would follow suit with its own in-cart hardware. The Sega Virtua Processor was the company's answer, and, like Super FX, it was a DSP which augmented the processing...

Recently, the news that an all-in-one Sega FPGA console was in development caused quite a stir online. The SuperSega promises to run Master System, Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast games, all via a Virtex Ultrascale+ FPGA chip. Almost immediately, there was a fair amount of scepticism online...

It's funny what your brain chooses to remember and what it decides to forget. For example, I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, but I can recall with pinpoint accuracy the fact that it was reported in an early issue of EDGE magazine that the Mega Drive port of Virtua Racing caused...

Ahead of the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations on the Switch this October, Sega has announced the game will be getting a 'Sonic Jam' legacy skin, inspired by the blue blur's first 3D appearance. The catch is, you'll need to sign up for Sega's emails to receive it. Even if you've signed up...

We're actually amazed it has taken this long for us to spot this, but it looks like defunct developer Hudson Soft might have cheekily copied the palm trees from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog for its 1992 NES platformer Adventure Island III. As spotted by CometRobot, the palm trees in the NES game...

Sega's upcoming reboot of the Crazy Taxi franchise might still be a ways off, but thanks to a recruitment video and a smattering of job listings, we now have a slightly firmer idea of what the game will have in store for us. As spotted by VGC, SEGA is describing the reboot as a 'massively...

Update [Wed 17th Jul, 2024 09:30 BST]: jnmartin84's fan port of Doom 64 to the Sega Dreamcast is now available to play. In order to play the game, you'll need to acquire a Doom 64 ROM in Z64 format and download the source files and tools from GitHub to build the game yourself. A full build...

Sega Saturn classic Radiant Silvergun has been patched in order to bring it closer to its modern-day ports in terms of features (thanks, Sega Saturn Shiro). Developed by Alex "trap15" Marshall, the patch has taken a year to produce and adds in the Ikaruga-style chain scoring system that was...

Hot on the heels of Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble's release, one fan has suggested perhaps the coolest way to play the series: using an actual ball. Now, it might not be the most accurate way to navigate the sky-high courses, but Dr Tom Tilley's creative build — which uses the same trackball...

Michael Jackson may be a polarizing individual for some people, but for a potentially larger group of fans, he remains one of the most accomplished pop stars of all time – and, sitting here in 2024, it's easy to forget just how huge he was in terms of popularity and reach during the '80s and...

Update [Thu 18th Jul, 2024 16:30 BST]: Yuzo Koshiro's new Genesis / Mega Drive shmup Earthion is set to make a non-playable appearance at Bit Summit this weekend in Kyoto, Japan, as part of the SuperDeluxe Games booth. So, to kick things off, Koshiro has shared a new sneak peek of more of the...

Sega has been hosting a special broadcast titled 'Sonic Central' around the time of the blue blur's birthday since 2021, but this year the anniversary celebrations are a little different. Sonic brand social media and community manager Katie Chrzanowski explained during a surprise live stream...

The news that the Mega Drive is to get its own version of Capcom's Final Fight was welcomed by the Sega community a while back; developer Mauro Xavier's Final Fight MD project aims to give the console the most authentic port possible – even more so than the Sega CD version. Xavier has been...

Once upon a time, Sega had plans to release an all-in-one Genesis / Mega Drive and 32X home console called Neptune. Those plans were scrapped when the 32X flopped and it became clear that Sega needed to focus on Saturn, but not before the company had shown off a prototype. That same design is...

Atlus has announced that Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has surpassed 500,000 sales within three days of its launch on 14th June 2024. Of course, while the original Shin Megami Tensei V was exclusive to the Switch, Vengeance has been released on Switch, Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox...

When you discussing the most expensive video games of all time, the 1993 Mega Drive shmup Eliminate Down is likely to crop up pretty quickly. Developed by Aprinet and published by Soft Vision, it's one of the rarest games on the console; it never saw release outside Japan and South Korea...

Update [Mon 25th Dec, 2023 14:25 GMT]: Pigsy has released a playable demo - Merry Christmas! You can download it here. Original Story [Tue 3rd Jan, 2023 12:30 GMT]: Some time ago, our friends over at Nintendo Life reported on the existence of a Sega Mega Drive / Genesis port of Konami's...
