Yesterday in Japan, Niconico broadcasted the 20th Phantasy Star Online 2 Livestream. These periodic livestreams detail upcoming content for the game. Some interesting things to look at once you hit the break!
GamingBolt recently published an interview they conducted with Sega of Japan on Yakuza: Ishin. They asked a variety of questions, inquiring about development of the game, comparison between PS3 and PS4 versions and how Sega worked on both at the same time, and the decision to make a new spinoff title instead of the next mainline entry. Incidentally, the Sega spokesperson fielding the questions made some interesting remarks: notably about …read more

Our readers may remember a poll from Operation Rainfall’s website last year, where they let people vote on which Konami and Sega games they wanted to see localized the most. LAI, a company specializing in game localization, would then take those results to those companies and try to make a deal with them. On the Sega side, Yakuza was the most requested game, followed by Valkyria Chronicles 3. LAI and …read more

Last week SEGA announced “SEGA Collaboration Part 2” for Phantasy Star Online 2. This is an update scheduled for June, and was announced via one of their periodic livestreams, along with a long stream of other planned content for this month and the next.
While we haven’t reported news on games from Atlus before, the fact that Sega has acquired them does make their games part of Sega’s offering now. With that in mind, we thought it’s worth letting people know that Persona 4 Golden for the PS Vita (in my opinion one of the best JRPG’s out there), is now available at a discount on both the US and EU PlayStation Network. On …read more
On April 21st Sony caused a stir when it appeared that PSP and PSOne games would be available for downloading and playing on PSVita. While this was indeed true, it was temporary and soon redacted. It is more than likely that such a change was accidental: a very unfortunate outcome as this would make the Vita an exciting purchase. This would have given people an additional means of playing games such …read more
