Apparentely, good game sales from some of their most popular titles and good overall arcade business has led them to this:
Sega Sammy has swung to a profit for the nine months ended December 31, with a net income of ¥16.9 billion (£120.8m / $189.5m), compared to a net loss of ¥10.8 billion (£77.4m / $121.3m) for the same period last year.
It’s good to see Sega Sammy doing well for a change, especially in these tough financial times, but cheers to Sega for this accomplishment. Let’s party!

This is very good news as Platinum Game’s major PS3 and Xbox 360 title as earned a respectable 1.1 million units sold, not bad for a time when japanese developed games are struggling to have such big numbers on western markets, but that’s not all:
Sega just confirmed that Bayonetta’s sold 1.1 million units, making it the publisher’s second most popular game in the nine months ending December 31.
The Platinum actioner was beaten out by Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.
Here’s the top five:
- Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii, DS) – 5,670,000 units
- Bayonetta (PS3, 360) – 1,100,000 units
- Football Manager 2010 (PSP, PC) – 740,000 units
- Phantasy Star Portable 2 (PSP) – 540,000 units

Many good things can come out of this, but for Sega’s stocks it already did good for them:
Here’s something you may not have thought of today. On a day of big losses across the economic landscape, there was one rare up stock for the day on the financial markets–and it was Sega’s.
With the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing today down more than 268 points and flirting with sub 10,000 territory for the first time in a few months, the stock for Sega Sammy Holdings was up on the Sonic 4 announcement.
SGAMY closed at $2.87 a share–that’s an increase of 5 cents a share. Varying levels of hype can at points influence with a stock’s value–at one point the stock price had flirted with the $2.95 level today, as reaction in fan venues translated to a positive business outlook.

With all the major revelations surrounding the upcoming Yakuza game as well as Project Needlemouse, Iron Man 2, the official video game has gone a little missing in action, but never fear, IGN has this brand new trailer. With the movie out in April, the official game will be out in May and it’s not a literal adaptation of the second movie.

Good mourning everyone, maxcady128 here with a news that you will all love, as promised Sega revealed it’s new Project Needlemouse title which turned to be quite a surprise:
Sega has taken the wraps off Project Needlemouse, and the publisher is positioning the game as a proper sequel to the series’ Genesis genesis and Sonic the Hedgehog 3, specifically. The publisher has released a new trailer for the game, revealing its official title: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1.
Sega debuted a trailer (viewable below) for the game, showing off the fourth proper installment of the iconic side-scrolling platformer star. The teaser starts with a retrospective of the series, gradually transitioning the memorable mammal’s visage to a new HD version of Sonic, with waypoints at 1991 (the original Sonic), 1992 (Sonic 2), and 1994 (Sonic 3)
The trailer also revealed a few other details about the game, most notably its platforms and release window. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 will arrive this summer as a downloadable title on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii.
Sonic goes retro this summer, so be sure to stay tuned for more news as it becomes available.

This announcement came a little under the radar on account of the whole Project Needlemouse thing, but those who want to know more please read on. Sega and High Voltage Software have revealed their new collaboration with Tornament of Legends, a 3D brawler aimed straight for the Nintendo Wii. Full press release as followed:
SEGA® of America, Inc. is excited to announce a new project in partnership with developer High Voltage Software – Tournament of Legends™. Exclusive for Wii™, Tournament of Legends is a weapon and magic based 3D-fight game featuring some of the biggest playable characters on Wii. Each fighter is based on a legend from world mythology: the Minotaur, a powerful Gladiator, Gorgon, Stone Golem, Valkyrie and other well-known and powerful characters. The game is scheduled for release on May 18th, 2010.
Tournament of Legends features epic battles in fantastic fighting arenas where they will wield mythical blade weapons, launch 40 magic attacks, and dodge giant mythological creatures that protect the battle lairs. In intense one and two-player fights, players master a range of character and weapon based magic attacks; including unleashing, amongst others, a man-eating lion, Jupiter’s Storm, Thor’s Fury and a nest of venomous snakes.
No word on a european release date yet, but rest assured that we will find out. This was a below-the-radar announcement, but I was suprised to see another potentially M-rated game on the Wii so soon. I guess, Sega changed their minds on the whole mature Wii games thing, again.

The first big trailer for the upcoming Yakuza title is out and it looks fantastic, even a year later, the level of detail in one is unmatched.
But despite it’s realism and violence, it still manages to find some humor, I mean you have golf, bowling, photography and crazy karaoke to deal with. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Say what!? Got the source from worthplaying.com, but its Pocket Lint who have the goss on SEGA shipping new hardware this summer, which assumedly means northern-hemisphere summer and only a few months away.
The console, called the Sega Zone, will come with 20 classic Sega titles, like Alex Kid, Golden Axe, Sonic and Knuckles and Ecco the dolphin as well as a further 30 games, 16 of which are motion controlled.
Users will be able to control the action via two included wireless remote controls and when not playing Sega titles be able to play the usual array of sports classics like table tennis, darts, fencing, beach volleyball, and golf by waving the controller in front of the screen as they do with the Nintendo console.
Wow, that came out of the blue nearly as fast as the blueblur would himself. This console is apparently not meant to be competing with the likes of the PS3/360/Wii, but is designed to allow you to play classic SEGA games. Unfortunately, although the makers hope to offer more SEGA games in the future, you won’t be able to add them to this system.
Better make space on the shelf below your telly! The SEGA Zone (or maybe thats Zone SEGA, I’m just looking at the name on the box) is priced around £39.95. Maybe this means we’ll be seeing no more remakes of remakes of classics.
