It also appears that it will receive a physical release neds bonus 2019 both on the PS4 and Xbox One and will include a double-sided poster. Noticeably absent is a Nintendo Switch version, which is a real head scratcher, but those people could entertain themselves playing real money casinos instead.

The screenshots and video were uploaded to SEGA’s press site last week, and there hasn’t been an official announcement from SEGA as of yet.

There’s no press release or other product information attached, so we don’t have a full list of the games to be included as of yet, but looking at the box art, there will be the usual stalwarts are included in the video, like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage and Golden Axe, to name a few.

The early portion of the video includes the same awesome 3D interactive bedroom featured in the SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics Hub, which was released on Steam in 2016. That bundle included Steam Workshop support that enabled users to submit mods, which was a really awesome feature.

Here is Sega’s official statement:

“SEGA and D3T indeed had started exploring the feasibility of a full HD remaster for Shenmue I & II. That being said, we soon realised that this was a project with its own set of challenges. Working with original animations and characters but meshing them with enhanced HD visuals gave us a game that we felt would not meet the standards that Shenmue fans expect and deserve. Rather than going ahead with a release that may disappoint fans, we chose to focus on bringing the classic game to PC and modern consoles, so that new players could experience Shenmue’s original charm.”

I buy it. A faithful port with enhancements was the right way to go about it.

I am not a fan of meshing old animations with half baked modern visuals, Yakuza Kiwami is a prime example. I don’t like that in a remake. If I am to buy a remake I’d prefer that it be like Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes.

If Sega can’t do a remake from scratch then I will gladly take an enhanced port over a half old – half new mesh of a game.

SEGA announced Thursday that Blaze the Cat, Silver the Hedgehog, and Vector the Crocodile have been added to the roster in Team Sonic Racing under the name “Team Vector.”

Sonic and Shadow may have the coolest cars, but Team Vector’s cars are on fleek. Silver’s ride takes after the aesthetic of Tron: Legacy, Vector’s car has teeth that can chew anyone he attempts to tailgate, and Blaze’s car has enough fire and horsepower to outrun even Sonic.

If you think Team Vector isn’t hot enough to break the ice, Tails’ Channel’s screenshots of Ice Mountain will tell you otherwise.

Team Sonic Racing will be zooming to PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch Winter 2018.

Team Sonic Racing will be playable at Gamescom 2018, so give us your thoughts on the game so far.

Team Sonic Racing will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC this coming winter.

Press Release

But today, we received some even crazier news from SEGA that the game will be released in Japan on Nov. 22, and the PlayStation 4 version will include an amazing physical collector’s edition. This edition will include a 40-track soundtrack on double CD, a two-sided poster and the game itself.

The game is available to pre-order now from Amazon Japan, which you can find the listing here. Also, Phantom Riverstone has translated the tracklist, and you can see that by visiting their article here.

In this “Part 1” video, he explains the story of Ryo and how he goes on a revenge quest for his father’s murder, as well as the mystery around the Dragon Mirror that his father died to protect. Ryo’s quest leads him around from Yokosuka to many locations in China.

He explains how the obsession of finding clues, getting lost in the immersive world, and becoming Ryo Hazuki helped the games define modern gaming as it is today.

Shenmue I & II will be available on August 21st for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

The current state of TSR is that it will come out in the Winter of 2018, which is right in the range of the date. However, it is odd that it is set this late in November, considering that most Sonic titles are released before Thanksgiving holidays.

We will probably get an actual date in the coming months, but at least we have some sort of time frame for when this game will come out.

However, things have really picked up over the past couple months, with the game finally going into closed beta. More recently, HumaNature issued a Kickstarter update confirming that Back in the Groove will indeed release this year and committed to having the game shipped by Thanksgiving 2018.

They didn’t give an exact date, and the game could release before that, but it’s great to finally get a confirmed timeframe when the game will make it into fan’s hands.

In a previous Kickstarter update, series co-creator Greg Johnson announced that his development team and the game’s publisher Adult Swim Games mutually agreed to part ways, and HumaNature will self-publish Back in the Groove.

“Adult Swim Games has some other big titles they plan to launch this summer so when Back in the Groove pushed back, we both agreed that it made sense for them to hand us the reigns, rather than taking a chance on this getting pushed back any more,” the Kickstarter update read. “Also I’d like to say how deeply grateful I and all of us here at HNS are to Adult Swim Games. We wouldn’t have gotten this game to this point without them… seriously.”

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove raised more than $500,000 on Kickstarter after the campaign was launched in late February, 2015. The game will be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac and Linux.

SEGA’s video overview:

From convenience stores to vending machines, the open-world of Shenmue still bears resemblance to the bustling and lively real world locations, and its very faithful representation of Dobuita Street immersed over a million players in Ryo’s quest to avenge his father. To this day, dozens of Shenmue fans like Adam and Imran visit Dobuita Street every year to retrace Ryo Hazuki’s footsteps, recalling their love for Shenmue and how they felt playing the games for the very first time.
