Berserk Again | ANIME |
|
> Yes Sega Fans, this is the anime from which the Dreamcast action title
(Sword of Berserk: Guts' Rage) was derived. Prepare for all the hyper
brutal violence that contributed to the game's allure. It's scheduled
for a May 28 release, and is to be published by Anime Works. I can't
wait to see one of my favorite videogame heroes kick some butt on DVD.

Publishes Sega | GAMEBOY ADVANCE |
|
> THQ plans to publish Crazy Taxi, Virtua Tennis, Super Monkey Ball, and
the first three Phantasy Stars (on one cart) for GBA in 2002-2003.
The last time Phantasy Star was available in English was when it reached
the Master System in the late 80s. Sega Saturn has the most recent
PS compilation, however, which included all four PS games on one disc and
was only available in Asia. Dreamcast owners have PSOv1/2 and PSII
(Sega Smash Pack Vol 1).

Finally Returns | MULTI-PLATFORM |
|
> Square has finally returned to Nintendo development, after five years
off. Final Fantasy, the series that helped make Nintendo and Square
household names, is slated for GameCube and GBA in the form of Final Fantasy
Tactics. Nintendo is to provide financial assistance to the Square
affiliate, which will create games for Nintendo consoles. I guess
the notion that Sony's large stake in Square would prevent them from multi-platform
development was flawed after all.

Does F-Zero | MULTI-PLATFORM |
|
> Believe it or not, Sega and Nintendo are teaming together to make the
next wave of F-Zero games for the Arcade and GameCube. Amusement
Vision, of Daytona fame, is the Sega team working on the deal. Much
like the Dreamcast and Naomi, this new arcade and console relationship
will be enhanced with a common data exchange via memory card. F-Zero
AC and GC are scheduled for later this year.

> AM2's latest high profile game is titled Virtua Fighter Quest.
It's an action/RPG which comemorates Virtua Fighter's 10 year anniversary
and is scheduled for 2003. Every character from the VF universe will
be included as well. No console was mentioned by the source. =/
> Phantasy Star Online I and II for GameCube is currently scheduled for
a July 2002 debut in Japan. Two configurations are supposed to be
available: an Online Modem Set (9,800 yen), and a Full Set (16,600 yen),
which includes a modem and keyboard. I hope Sega follows suit in
America later this year.
