      DUX is back

      The chaps (and chappettes?) over at Hucast just tweeted a video for its latest release, DUX 1.5 for the Dreamcast. This is an updated version of the original DUX, not a new game (unfortunately). However, it is still exciting news, as it means that enthusiasts have another chance to purchase a new Dreamcast release! DUX 1.5 is said to have updated features, including re-balanced gameplay (said to be ‘better and easier’), a new “rockin’ soundtrack” by Andre…

      What we’ve missed…

      In case you didn’t know, SEGA Nerds was originally bringing you all your SEGA-related news, gossip, reviews and features from way back in 2004 (or 2005?), and after some complications in the real world, we had to finally shut our online doors back in early 2011. As a result, we have been off the radar for about two years. Of course, there are some other excellent SEGA fan sites around, including SEGAbits, which was started by…

      Crazy SEGA marketing: Seaman

      Believe it or not, there was a time when video game companies did more than post screenshots or gameplay videos to Facebook to promote a video game. They didn’t always rely on “countdown” websites, either. Sometimes, companies like SEGA would do some pretty batshit crazy stuff to stir interest in a new game. Beginning today, we’re going to run a series of articles highlighting the absolute craziest viral marketing campaigns SEGA used throughout its history.…

      An apology to the SEGA community

      Now that we have brought SEGA Nerds back to life, I think I owe the community a public apology and an explanation about why the website went away. First off, I am very sorry to have left the great community that so many worked to create. SEGA Nerds was and still is my favorite website of all time. Through running it, I met some incredibly great people, and I hope you can forgive me for…

      Donate $20K to Big Blue, get a ‘real’ dolphin

      After a few days since his Kickstarter campaign was started to create a new Ecco the Dolphin underwater creature game called Big Blue, game designer Ed Annunziata sent an update to backers alerting them to a new reward tier. If you donate $20,000 or more, you will get “an actual LIVE dolphin.” After, we presume, your payment clears, Ed and his team will ship your new dolphin in an overnight box that will be wrapped…

      Ecco the Dolphin creator ‘Kickstarting’ underwater game

      While we’re still waiting on a true Ecco the Dolphin sequel, we may have the next best thing. Ecco’s original designer, Ed Annunziata, and its composer, Spencer Nilsen, have created a Kickstarter campaign to fund their next project, currently called Big Blue. Set at a modest $665,000 goal, the campaign’s stretch goals are quite notable. If it surpasses its goal by 50 percent, cooperative multiplayer will be added, where you’ll be able to “share environments,…

      Review: Yakuza – Dead Souls

      The next heavily anticipated chapter in the Yakuza series is here. Please welcome Yakuza: Dead Souls. Fans of the franchise have watched it unfold into a game of intense action, heavy story, and wide open exploration. Every game will give you hours and hours of exploration, with the average length of each title clocking in at a meaty 30-40 hours… And that’s if you just go straight through it and ignore all the extra content the…

      Forget Blast Processing, it’s all about ‘Goat Processing’ these days

      For a bit of fun and shenanigans on April Fool’s day, SEGA America uploaded this little video. Based on the recent(ish) ‘Goat yells/screams meme’, SoA has pieced together some scenes from classic Sonic games, updated with some ‘Goat Processing’. [Source: SEGA America]

      Soundtrack Flashback: Sonic the Hedgehog

      Welcome to the SEGA Nerds version of my Soundtrack Flashback. For those who don’t know exactly what I do in this feature, it is pretty simple. I go back through years and years of video game soundtracks and spotlight a soundtrack from some of the most popular games of the past. On occasion, some of the games are lesser known titles but have soundtracks that deserve recognition. As a bonus, I will also spotlight a…

      Our favorite SN memories

      While we’ve been spending much of the day reminiscing and talking about how excited we are about the new site, we thought it’d be great to remember our favorite moments of the old SEGA Nerds. There were so many great times that we had running the site and covering SEGA that we couldn’t list them all here, but I think we came up with some pretty good entries. I’m sure some of our longtime readers…

      Review: Sonic CD

      [With the recent news that Christian “Taxman” Whitehead will be handling an updated port of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for mobile devices, we thought it would be relevant to revisit his first official Sega collaboration: the superb port of Sonic CD that was released at the end of 2011. Enjoy this retro review, which was originally posted on one of Nathan’s personal project sites, Discless.] Sonic CD is my least favorite of the Genesis-era 2D Sonic games. I…

      Five Saturn games we want to see go downloadable

      What with the release of NiGHTS into Dreams on PSN and XBLA, we were wondering: “What other Saturn games would be great on modern digital platforms?” Now it’s actually a tougher question to answer than one might think. If I had it my way, about 80 to 90 percent of Saturn games would be updated and re-released on modern systems and my first thoughts for this list were games like Shining Force III, Dark Savior…

      Review: Binary Domain

      At first glance, it’s quite easy to dismiss Binary Domain as yet another ho hum squad-based, third-person shooter hopelessly riding on the coattails of Gears of War. After all, its combat mechanics don’t redefine the genre, its storyline is fairly predictable and somewhat unoriginal, and its Japanese developer has never attempted to create a game like this before. Sounds like Binary Domain has a lot stacked against it? Well, that may be true, but if you give the game a…
