SEGA contest asks fans to guess the name of upcoming mystery game

SEGA has come up with a novel way to announce the identity of an upcoming franchise set to make its return on the Playstation 3.

Announced yesterday on the SEGA blog, the “Name That Game” contest simply requires that you watch — or more specifically, listen — to a video they’ve created (embedded below) which contains an audio clue to the project’s identity. Sure, it might seem like an easy call for most fans, but here’s the challenge: you want to listen, but that bunny is just so darn cute you can’t help getting distracted.

(Okay, maybe that was just us.)

If you’re able to guess the game’s identity, you’ll just need to fill out some forms on the blog to enter the contest and have a chance to win the game. SEGA is randomly picking ten winners from everyone who guesses the game’s identity correctly.

Don’t worry if you can’t guess the name of the game, because we can tell you that it’s… Oh, wow! That bunny is so freakin’ cute! Look! Look what it just did! Wait, what were we saying?

Sega has announced that it is delisting digital versions of all the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games. According to a press release published on Tuesday, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD will be delisted from digital game services on May 20.

The company said that all those games are being delisted in preparation for the release of Sonic Origins, which is slated to come out on June 23 -- the first time since 1991 that a Sonic game was released on that exact date. However, it was careful to note Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will remain available through SEGA Ages on Nintendo Switch, while the latter Sonic game will still be playable on the Sega Genesis via Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

Sega's Yakuza series is one that you've almost certainly heard of, whether you've dived into the world of Kiryu-Chan or not. This long-running action RPG series recently blew up in the West after years of being a mainly Japanese audience-focused title. For years, many English-speaking gamers were barely aware of the franchise's existence. Now, as seen with the release of games like Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the series has become one of Sega's global juggernauts.
