Sega returning down under

this is the ultimate classic that i am looking for i need a copy dont take any longer its the best classic ever konata babatunde lewis trinidad

Lol agreed, sonic is a complete waist of time for anyone 10 or over...

Excellent!! Australia needs more industry support :D Keep it coming please...

Sweet SEGA in Australia, damn how I hated Ozisoft Thanks SEGA I'm Still a loyal Fan, Make A damn Dreamcast 2.

I hope they aren't trying to palm off the crappy sonic game for the ps3/360 down-under... what an awful game. Sega used to be amazing - but now they are LITERALLY down-under. I hope they get their act together soon.

SEGA is dead to me until they release another Panzer Dragoon game... or until NiGHTS is out for the Wii.

i knew it had to do with Australia the moment i read the title

IF THIS HAPPEND I COULD GO TO SEGA WORLD AGAIN! ahhh memeries

I am hoping this will mean we get Nights this year.

*sigh* I miss Sega, always had a Sega, and preferred them to Nintendo from day 1

I do remember that Disco, that place was awesome. Good to see Sega returning, they're always been a favourite of mine...

pacerfan1231 "It would be cool if Sega made a Hardware comeback!" It would, but only if Nintendo went down. The console market is competitive to almost militant proportions with just three consoles, and between those three Sega has a lot of freedom with their games. If Microsoft or Sony went down, I don't think Sega would take the opportunity because they've developed such strong relations with Nintendo since becoming a third-party developer (unless a friendly competition is possible). If Nintendo fails somehow, then I can definitely see Sega bringing out a console. Somebody has to keep old-school gaming alive!

Does anyone from Sydney remember Sega World down at Darling Harbour? Ah, the memories... Be very nice to see some increased activitiy down here. Who knows - one day it may lead to cheaper products? I can live in ignorant bliss can't I?

Cool, increases the industry in Australia!

Suddenly the videogame world cares about Australia. That's three big news bulletins from Australia this week... Maybe it'll one day be as big as the American, European, or Japanese (doubt it) markets. Anyone, it'd be interesting to have a Ned Kelly game. He was awesome.

MogFromLeipzig, Sega is still making hardware... I'm talking about the Arcade boards... House of the Dead 4, the new After Burner and a updated version of Outrun... all on the latest Sega Arcade board 'Lindbergh'. Sega AU will make more money to make more better games when it opens... that means more Sega games being developed so I can play them :).

@pacerfan1231 Sega consoles were always great (Ignoring some of the 'additions' to consoles), be amazing if they released Dreamcast Portable prefrably using the original dreamcast disk or the ability to copy 'real' disk onto a portable memory stick for use on it. Id buy that over a any other handheld without a doubt

pacerfan1231: "It would be cool if Sega made a Hardware comeback!" OMG no! 3 consoles to choose from are enough or even more than enough. I'd like to have all games for one console.

Good news to see Sega go to Australia.

When asked about the scope of operations Sega would be handling locally, Bhopti said, "It's a big investment in Australia. We have other people on board at the moment, but aren't ready to announce who [they are]." Hm..... Sega is doing something big .

It would be cool if Sega made a Hardware comeback! It would be cool I suppose, but they'd almost have to wait until next gen to release it, unless it was a handheld. I know it's early in this gen, but if they are it's probably best to wait, unless they intend to pull a Nintendo, in which case they'd almost certainly lose against the Big N...

i agree

It would be cool if Sega made a Hardware comeback!

About time. I dont know why people neglect Australia so much? Not that i care, me being a yank.

Sega! Sega!

WOW nice I thinking of going into game designing i mite be able to get a job at sega australia

Lets hope this will mean Sega games get fast tracked release dates here, plus bring back Sega World.

Yeah title spooked me too hehe

Hm, this could go well if it's executed properly.

What the heck? Many game publishers still don't even publicly announce release dates in Australia beforehand. Hm. I'm aware Atlus doesn't have a Europe office, fer people know that.

Hmm I remember Sega World. It cost $20 to get in, but it included unlimited Virtual on and Daytona - which made it worth it. Oh, and good job James. Hardly ever see you post news.

hmmm a secret new console being developed...maybe...just maybe

Good news. It's a sign that Sega is expanding again and has new prospects. Though i have to say, the title scared me, i thought like Sega had collapsed again... (my english maybe..or maybe not).

I wonder why Sega are relaunching n Australia? Dreamcast II? distributing their own games? (bye-bye THQ) or setting up new investments? Maybe we'll see the return of Sega World! I never got a chance to visit that shrine to the golden age of 16-bit consoles.

so, there reopening sega world? what?

oooo thats not that exciting
