The Sega Dreamcast will be getting a special Sonic-themed bundle soon, according to a listing on US retailer EBGames. You can see the pack here, which comes with a special packaging and will apparently include a blue VMU memory card and copies of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Shuffle, along with a demo for Sonic Adventure 2. Sega has yet to confirm this bundle officially, but if it's real expect a formal announcement soon: EBGames lists a launch date of May 28 for the bundle.

Sonic Advance could be limited to a Japan-only release, according to information currently published on the official Game Boy Advance website. If that's the case, it would be really maddening - and it wouldn't be a great way to kick off Sonic's third-party venture either. Nintendo's GBA website lists the game as an upcoming title in production, along with a number of other Sega projects. But, while ChuChu Rocket has a June 11 release date for the West, Sonic Advance is categorised as a game that may only be released in Japan (or worse, won't be released at all). More news on this as we get it - it's likely that this is placeholder information, as the game is so far away from any kind of release, but maybe not. We'd love to be wrong...

Could PSO Version 2 also see a global release? That's the current chatter happening in the Sega community this week, with suggestions that Sonic Adventure 2 will just be the first of many games that will enjoy a co-ordination worldwide launch. The rumours, which are as of yet unsubstantiated, say that Sega of America is working hard towards a June release date for the semi-sequel to the Dreamcast Online RPG, which could put it in competition with Sonic's 10th Anniversary game. Sega will be making a big splash at E3 this year, so there's a good chance that the company will confirm one way or another whether this is true. Stay tuned for updates.

Sega is preparing to show off a lot of titles at this year's Electronics Entertainment Expo. Among the confirmed games on the show floor will be the upcoming GBA titles Sonic Advance as well as ChuChu Rocket from Sonic Team, but Sega titles on Xbox will also be revealed. Other rumours that are circulating suggest that there will be a heap of Phantasy Star Online news coming out of E3. Not only will PSO Version 2 for the Dreamcast be on show, but also a version of the online RPG for other platforms like Xbox and Gamecube. If we hear more, you'll be the first to know about it!

Rumour Rumour: Sega to Discontinue the Dreamcast and Become Multi-Platform Developer?
Dreadknux posted a story in SEGA
What... the... heck..? This is a pretty explosive rumour, so let's hope it's not true. Apparently, there are noises that suggest Sega is going to stop production of the Dreamcast and actually make video games for other rival consoles - including PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance!(?) Now clearly there doesn't seem to be any real reason to believe this is going to happen - IGNDC cites a report from the Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun, but also adds that it is "typically reputable"... yet when the site contacted Sega of America for clarification, the VP of Communications Charles Bellfield denied it saying, "obviously it's a very slow news day, and people are very bored." Apparently this whole thing stems from a few press releases Sega made back in October, where the company said it would be licensing out Dreamcast hardware to other hardware companies (i.e. digital camera makers, set top boxes). Bellfield noted that other video game consoles were not mentioned, particularly the PlayStation 2. "The press releases from the business announcement we posted last year doesn't include other consoles, but other electronic devices, i.e. digital cameras, phones, etc," he said. "I realize that is a very bold announcement, but this current news story is rumor mongering and speculation. Sega will make these new announcements next week. "In the next week or so, Sega will make some new announcements about the Dreamcast that will help to explain our future strategies. At that point you'll be able to see that Dreamcast technology will incorporate a whole new videogaming experience. Our future is very, very rosy." We really hope that this isn't true, but the way Sega's going about it doesn't exactly fill us with hope. The confirmation that the company is dedicated to Dreamcast isn't exactly addressing that it's not making third-party games... we'll be keeping a close eye on this one. Source: IGNDC -
Not too long after we reported on a rumour that Sonic might be heading to Nintendo's Game Boy, Sega has made a statement about the situation. The blue blur isn't coming to the once-rival portable console after all. FGN Online cites a UK 'newspaper article' (they probably mean UK Official Dreamcast Magazine) which indicated that Sonic would hit Game Boy. But they followed up with Sega Europe reps who said that the rumour is false. All of Sega's divisions - Sega Japan, Sega of America and Sega Europe, have all denied that Sonic is hitting Nintendo's handheld. According to the Sega rep, the Dreamcast magazine "probably put two and two together to make five," referring to a smaller (even more outlandish) rumour that Sega would be making multi-platform games. We'll let you know if anything changes on this. But it seems like it was wishful thinking after all.

Take this with a truckload of salt. There's a rumour doing the rounds that Sonic the Hedgehog could appear on Nintendo's Game Boy handheld. Of course, Sega is a first-party games company, so it's not likely that they would put their flagship franchise on a competitor's platform. But, when reaching out to Sega of America, Daily Radar reports that the company admitted that Game Boy is not strictly a competitor against the Dreamcast. And in fact, Sega has partnered with SNK to make a Sonic game for the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Still, Sega of America has cast doubt onto the rumour by stating that they have not heard anything on their side about any Sonic titles hitting Game Boy. The plot thickens... Source: Daily Radar

Sounds like the Mega Drive won't be the only thing getting revived on Dreamcast. The rumour mill is churning at a breakneck pace, and it's telling us that Sega intends to release a Sonic-themed compilation for the console next year to coincide with Sonic's 10th Anniversary. The pack will apparently include a whole range of games from Sonic's history, spanning the Mega Drive and Sega Saturn systems. Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic R and Sonic Spinball are amongst the titles to be included, coming on two GD-ROM discs. The rumour, which was first reported on Daily Radar, was brought to Sega's attention - the company said that they have heard nothing from Sega Japan about any such compilation. So it might not be true, but we hope it is because being able to re-play the classics all over again would be awesome, right?

The Gaming Rumors Thread: Nintendo BG&E2? Resi 7? Prey 2... again!?
Patticus posted a topic in Video Games
Hey guys! As you're all aware of, there are usually at least a few gaming rumours flying around at any one time, which on their own might not warrant their own topics due to their oftentimes niche appeal, but which folks ought to be made aware of anyway, so I figure we could use a topic dedicated to the posting, discussion and validation/debunking of these aforementioned rumours. If it relates to a topic already in progress, you can post them there and here if you like, but if that topic is active then you can post the story in here and link to that topic. Two rumours spring immediately to my mind right now: Is Zipper Interactive (SOCOM, MAG) closing? http://kotaku.com/58...ut-down-by-sony This isn't very surprising to me, considering their games didn't have much of an impact this generation. They were criminally unlucky launching SOCOM 4 at the time of the PSN hack, but on the other hand it didn't get the best reception from critics either, and MAG doesn't appear to have had any lasting impact beyond its initial few months of online life. Time now for the second of the rumors: Prey 2 Cancelled? http://www.vg247.com/2012/03/23/rumor-prey-2-cancellation-announcement-coming-next-week/ https://twitter.com/#!/jimreilly/status/183303526997426180 I'm going to be very disappointed if this turns out to be true. Prey 2 was, even considering the disappointing change of protagonist, starting to look like a genuinely interesting FPS, which is saying something considering how shit much of the genre is now. It was actually starting to become one of my most anticipated FPS games this year (along with Bioshock: Infinite). Say it isn't so, Bethesda, say it isn't so. -
http://metro.co.uk/2014/05/29/new-mortal-kombat-10-almost-kind-of-confirmed-4743576/ Yet more game leaks. Just another part of the pre-E3 fun. I still haven't got around to picking up the last Mortal Kombat game, but it looked great, so hopefully this will be even better. The first Mortal Kombat on mega Drive was one of my favourite games back in the 90's.
