First and foremost, San-nin Mahjong (三人麻雀) for the Othello Multivision, a 1984 three-players Mahjong simulation. There's only 8 original games released under the Othello Multivision label (compatible with SG-1000) and most of them all quite tough to find, so many of our Japanese friends have been waiting for that one! There might been another variation of San-nin Mahjong in the wild but I couldn't acquire it so it'll have to come later, if anything.

Next we have The Lion King (ライオン・キング) for the Game Gear, in its Japanese incantation. The game is pretty much the same as existing European/US builds obviously.

And finally Tom and Jerry: The Movie (トム＆ジェリー ザ ムービー) for the Game Gear also in its Japanese version. The amount of unreleased Japanese GG dumps is shrinking and apart from a few things I have yet to confirm we'll be done shortly.

Munich based videogame publisher redspotgames reveals today, that a new announcement will be introduced in the next 2 weeks. Within this time further information will be disclosed on their internet page www.redspotgames.com.

Additionally the website has had a cosmetic change and resplendents in a new space theme. In small steps the design will be updated over and over until the logo and details for the upcoming game will be revealed.

Sega has told CVG that it will announce two major hardcore games in the remainder of this year.

The publisher's Western president Mike Hayes explained that it will look to release one in 2011, and one in 2012.

Sega didn't make any major new game announcements at E3 - where it allowed titles such as Sonic Colours, Shogun 2 and Platinum Games' Vanquish to shine.

The latter won particular praise at the show - with Insomniac Games describing it as "Gears Of War on crack".

"Vanquish is getting a good response," Hayes explained in a new interview, "that's our big hope for the release later this year to keep us in the 360/PS3 core game slot.

"Then we've got two other big games that we'll be announcing this year for 2011 and 2012. So we're not going to be overly aggressive - but we're going to try to have one or two games each year in that segment."

Hayes also promised that Sega would have some announcements to make on 3D games "very soon".
