Well, Sega is awesome. Sega is also putting up their entire gaming library up for grabs on the Nintendo Whaa Wii. But… will Sega also let the lovely owners of the lovely PS3 have access to Vectorman, Phantasy Star II-IV, Shinobi, Sonic, and so on (a personal underground favorite of mine is Sub Terrania… emulate it and try it out! It’s very hard)? On this topic, they’ve issued a resounding “maybe”. More accurately, they issued a “it is a stage being zealously examined now.” Which we can hope will turn into a very positive result. Would any of you guys take advantage of the Sega library? Just a ballpark shot in the dark guesstimation, let’s say Master System games were $3, Genesis $5, Saturn $7 (this is assuming they go all out and include every system). Oh, and Dreamcast… $10. But I don’t count the Dreamcast as dead. Because it’s turned on right now, loaded with the port of Elemental Gimmick Gear. Pretty bad translation in that game… but mind-numbingly fun.

Every Nintendo console since SNES comes with a new iteration of its high-speed racer, F-Zero. Sony may have their answer to the “hovering cars racing at dangerously high speeds” game niche in Fatal Inertia. While the game itself isn’t new or “this just in”, we do have some new screens for you to look at. It’s hard to tell how the graphics really look since the blur on the ground is so intense (can’t see texture all too well, etc), it’s pretty amazing just how much these hovering heaps of badass can reflect. Initially, we thought this was camouflaged, but no… it’s just reflecting a ton of trees and such. Plus some bright lights! Is this a game that’ll put up a fight with F-Zero and other such games? Maybe. We’ll keep you posted. Just remember: this inertia will be fatal.
