Smartest thing you could ever doI did the Separate Ways in preparation so Ashley has the armour costume set where she can't be picked up, because it'll make my life easier.
Fans of 2012’s Lollipop Chainsaw who have been waiting for a follow-up might just have gotten their wish. Per Dragami Games CEO Yoshimi Yasuda’s Twitter, it would appear that the developer has plans for bringing the series back.
While specifics weren’t revealed, Yasuda’s post yesterday (accompanied by an image of game protagonist Juliet Starling) tells fans to “look forward” to the series’ return. If you’re wondering how Dragami Games got involved with this, Yasuda used to be CEO of Kadokawa Games, which published the original Lollipop Chainsaw in Japan. Yasuda is now CEO of Dragami Games, which has taken over part of Kadokawa Games’ assets and staff.
No word on if Lollipop Chainsaw‘s co-director Goichi “Suda51” or James Gunn (who referenced the game in last year’s The Suicide Squad) will be involved in the new project. There’s also the issue of Warner Bros. owning the rights to the game here in North America, but hopefully WB plays nice.
Originally released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Lollipop Chainsaw (which just celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this week) centers on 18-year-old Juliet, whose town of San Romero has become overrun with a zombie outbreak.
I was very addicted to it at one point, still play it every now and then. Just love the idea of mastering the heroes you like, and there's so much variety of play styles available. I love playing Tanks especially, like Roadhog has always been one of my main ones because hooking people is so satisfying. I'm pretty excited for Overwatch 2. I'm hoping I can get beta access at some point, but was happy to hear the next game will be free-to-play later this year when it launches. I always thought the first should have been, and it will make it so much easier to find games hopefully.I play Overwatch, it's one of my favorite games now.
Sega’s second miniaturized throwback console — the Sega Genesis Mini 2 — will launch in North America on Oct. 27, the company announced on Wednesday.
The latest mini-console will feature more than 50 games — including Sega CD titles — and “even more power!” Sega said. One wonders if this includes the original console’s fabled “blast processing.”
The Sega CD titles include Sonic CD and Shining Force CD. Sega revealed 21 other games from the Genesis/Sega CD era with Wednesday’s announcement, including Splatterhouse 2, Shining in the Darkness, Super Hang On, and After Burner 2.
Here’s the full list of games revealed so far:
Amazon lists the Sega Genesis Mini 2 as being sold from Amazon Japan, with a price of $103.80 and shipping from Japan at $21.99. That puts the total cost at an import of the mini console at $125.79.
- After Burner 2
- Alien Soldier
- Bonanza Brothers
- Fantasy Zone (new Genesis port, previously released on Master System)
- Lightening Force
- Mansion of Hidden Souls (Sega CD)
- Night Striker (Sega CD)
- Ninja Warriors (Sega CD)
- OutRun
- OutRunners
- Rainbow Islands Extra
- Rolling Thunder 2
- Shining Force CD (Sega CD)
- Shining in the Darkness
- Silpheed (Sega CD)
- Sonic 3D Blast
- Sonic CD (Sega CD)
- Splatterhouse 2
- Star Mobile (new Genesis port, previously released on PC Engine)
- Super Hang On
- The Ooze
- Vectorman 2
- Virtua Racing
Sega first announced the Sega Genesis Mini 2 during a livestream at the beginning of June, at the time scheduling it for a Japan launch also on Oct. 27. It is being sold exclusively through Amazon by Sega of Japan.
The newest console follows 2019’s Sega Genesis Mini, which launched with 42 games. That console answered 2017’s disappointing Sega Genesis Flashback HD, a mini-console made by AtGames that fell well short of fans’ expectations following Nintendo’s very successful NES Classic Edition and Super NES Classic Edition.
