Atlus has revealed a new character trailer for Persona 4: Dancing All Night, this time for Chie Satonaka. The trailer shows Chie in a variety of outfits, ranging from a redesign of her standard Persona 4 outfit to an actual Bruce Lee outfit (which is fitting, given how Chie has a passion for martial arts). Atlus has also revealed the official boxart for the game.
Sega has launched a massive Steam sale, selling a significant part of their PC game lineup at heavily discounted prices. Among the discounted games are Valkyria Chronicles ($6.79) , Dreamcast Collection ($10.49), Jet Set Radio ($2.49), Binary Domain ($7.99) and several games from Sega’s UK development studios such as Alien Isolation ($12.49). The prices in Euro are mostly the same as their US counterparts, with a few exceptions (Jet Set Radio is €1,99).
The sales started today and will run until Monday, March 30. Each day, a new batch of Games will be made available for purchase. Alongside the daily sales, a Sega Super Bundle will also be available throughout the entire duration of the sale, combining no less than 93 Sega titles for the price of $79.99/£59.99/€69.99.
Aside from the Steam sales, the EU PlayStation Store also has two Sega games on sale during their Easter Sale. These are Resonance of Fate (€7.49) and Yakuza: Dead Souls (€7,49). The Easter sales end on April 15th. A good time to add more Sega games to your collection!
Segalization has been around for over a year now, and we thought it’d be a good time to create a new logo for our website. You can already see the result in the featured image of this article, our website header and also our Facebook/Twitter accounts. The new logo is meant to better reflect the original goal of our website, which is to promote the localization of Sega games across the world. Do let us know what you think about the new logo in the comments! We always enjoy getting feedback from our readers.
Project DIVA F 2nd was released almost one year ago in Japan on February 27, March 2014, and Sega plans to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the game by releasing their 14th batch of DLC. On March 31st, Sega will be releasing two new rhythm songs in Japan: “Though a Song is Formless” and “Electric Angel”. Two matching costumes for these songs will also be made available. They’ll also be running a gift campaign for people who bought all of the 16 DLC songs released so far, offering them the P-Style CG costume module for free.

Yosuke, one of they key characters in Persona 4, has received his own character trailer for the upcoming Persona 4: Dancing All Night. You can watch the original or subtitled version of the trailer below.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night is scheduled for a June 25 release on the PlayStation Vita in Japan.
Yakuza Zero has taken both the first and second position in the latest Japanese sales charts in its launch week, with the PS3 version selling 145,823 copies, followed by the PS4 version which sold 90,506 copies. While this is good news, the combined total of 236,329 copies does seem rather low for a non-spinoff Yakuza game. In comparison, Yakuza 5 sold 356,757 copies in its first week on the PS3 alone.
The cause of the lower sales might be multi-fold. First of all, the console market has seen a decline in Japan due to strong competition from mobile games. The PS3 is also showing its age, but despite that, sales for the PS4 remained weak for the most part of 2014. Secondly, Yakuza Zero was still developed for PS3, which means it wasn’t optimized for the PS4. While by no means terrible, the game’s graphics look rather outdated in comparison to the PS4’s top titles. Another factor might be that the franchise is simply showing signs of franchise fatigue. Here as well, moving to PS4 exclusively might help the developers to reinvent and update the gameplay mechanics.
The second batch of DLC for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd has been released in the US and the EU. Below you’ll find an overview of the 2nd batch content, complemented with screenshots. For more information on the other March DLC content, you can read our previous article here. Word of warning though: it seems the Snow Miku 2005 Costume Module is currently not listed as free for owners of the Costume Club Season Pass in the EU. There have been various problems like this with the Project DIVA F 2nd DLC releases so far, but as with the previous ones, this will probably be resolved soon.
The PR manager for Atlus already teased fans about an upcoming announcement last week, and today Atlus officially announced that Lost Dimension will be heading to both North America and Europe this summer. The game, co-developed by FuRyu and Lancarse, is a tactical RPG with gameplay that seems rather similar to Sega’s Valkyria Chronicles. The game’s story revolves around a group named S.E.A.L.E.D., consisting of 11 physically gifted warriors, who are trying to stop an extraterrestrial being known as “The End” from destroying the world. However, the protagonist Sho Kasugai soon finds that The End is not their only enemy. In fact, there are traitors among S.E.A.L.E.D. who need to be “erased” before they can turn against you.

Back in October 2014, Imageepoch announced that they would be releasing a strategy RPG game called Stella Glow to celebrate their 10th anniversary in 2015. They have now announced that the game will be launched on June 4 in Japan for the price of 5,990 yen. What they also announced is that Sega will be publishing the game. The game’s producer, Hideyuki Mizutani, explained that development of the game had in fact been completed by the end of November last year, and they had planned to release it back then, but they ran into difficulties related to sales. They turned to Sega, who also worked with Imageepoch on the 7th Dragon 2020 series, to help publish the game. The game’s website has now been relaunched by Sega.
