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'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.

The best mini console, Sega Genesis Mini, gets a huge price cut at GameStop
Sega Genesis Mini

The Sega Genesis Mini might just be the best mini plug-and-play console we've seen to date, with more than 40 games loaded, two packaged controllers, and attention to detail that is even more impressive than Nintendo's offerings. It launched a few months ago for $80, but you can get it for less than half that price during GameStop's Deal of the Day.

If you go to GameStop's website right now, the Sega Genesis Mini will be priced at $50, but if you add it to your cart, the price lowers to $35. This effectively means you're paying less than $1 per game, even before factoring in the cost of the unit itself, the controllers, and the HDMI cable. Unlike some of its competitors, the Genesis Mini also comes with a USB adapter, so you won't have to get one of your old phone chargers to power the system.
