A "Reimagining/Reboot" Of Phantasy Star Online Is In Development.





Who said we were done with SEGA scoops?


Here, have another! 

Phantasy Star is SEGA's longest running franchise, and has been going strong since 1987. In 2000, Phantasy Star Online, an online MMORPG subseries, started, released for the Dreamcast. A sequel was released in 2012 and has been ongoing with continuous support since then.  

I'm happy to report that a new installment in the series is in development at SEGA's headquarters in Japan, and is being labeled as either a reboot/reimagining of the original Dreamcast Phantasy Star Online game. It is once again a MMO being developed by the same development team. 

I haven't been told whether or this is a Unreal Engine project, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. No release date has been given, but it does sound like it's a ways out, so don't expect to hear about this one for awhile. 

PSO2 players shouldn't worry, SEGA have no plans to stop support of that game anytime soon. 

I'm someone who spent an ungodly amount of time on the original PSO. it was my first online video game experience in general and I absolutely loved it. If this is taking place in the same universe again, then I'm all about it. 

More soon.

RE: Midori.

  Sigh. I hate this type of stuff. Genuinely. Drama is something that stresses me out. I'm simply sharing information here. I have no beef nor any rivalry with anyone else that does this type of thing.  I've been made aware of some tweets that were made by famous SEGA/Atlus Insider, Midori.  In it, she makes some bold claims, claiming that I know one of her sources and that me/and or my sources are one in the same, and/or that I've STOLEN information.  No genuine offense to Midori, but these claims are absolutely baseless and simply untrue.  If I were to make a guess, I would say that she just noticed the undeniable similarities in our information and just panicked.  I can confidently say with a hundred percent certainty: We DO NOT share sources.  I've obviously been in this game much longer than she has, and the things I have gotten right over the years speak for themselves.  Some things to make abundantly clear:  I have been hearing about a new Phantasy Star game FOR

Nintendo Direct Watch Season Begins NOW.

Image
We're starting 2024 with a bang. Didn't expect that, did ya?  Yup, I'm hearing from the usual sources that Nintendo is planning a Direct to air this very month. It could air from this coming week, to the end of the month.  Expect this to be "cleanup" for the Switch. Nintendo has been pretty silent since September, so expect more details on Paper Mario, Peach Showtime and a few other things. There's still a few surprises left in this old thing.  They have an obviously insane   of them, so it's smart to get Switch stuff out of the way earlier than usual this year.  Stay tuned here for more.

Mario Kart X Will Release In 2025.

Image
Now that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass has finally come to an end, in spectacular fashion I might add, now the question being asked is "Well, what's next?"  Well, I finally have some more insight on that. The tenth (no, not ninth) installment of the Mario Kart series will release in 2025, which will be Switch 2's second year on the market. The intention is to release the title sometime before the system's second holiday on the market.  The title is being developed primarily by Nintendo EPD Production Group 9, with Bandai Namco Studios once again co-developing.  Additionally, Nintendo are sparring absolutely no expense with this game. This is apparently one of the most expensive games Nintendo has ever put into production. The next 3D Mario title is said to be "absolutely dropping" and this apparently looks even better. The game's visual fidelity is said to be a very high priority for them, meaning the game is gonna look good, damn goo
