Sonic Brawler

AM2 is developing an all-new Sonic arcade game based on the ever-popular one-vs.-one fighter formula. Its gameplay is said to be near-identical to Sega's Fighting Vipers coin-op, only with the famous hedgehog and his pals. Early screens show Sonic and Tails in action, with others like Robotnik, Knuckles, Metal Sonic, and Amy Rose to be included as well. Look for this cab later this year.

Ghosts In Space

Flip over to Cartoon Network late at night and you may spot a wack-o cartoon talk show called Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast. Led by a totally obscure Hanna-Barbera superhero and his old nemeses-turned-cohosts Zorak and Moltar, this is a great rip on tiresome talk shows plaguing nighttime TV. The bits are actually hilarious, and they somehow manage to nab guests like Weird Al and Schooly D.

Certain credible sources are claiming Atari is planning to drop support for their Jaguar system in the wake of slow sales and a failed deal with Virtuality's VR display.bonusbulb

Web Updates for March

Proceeding in its quest to overtake the next-gen market, the PlayStation is climbing up to nearly 1 million sales. Sega, on the other hand, reported about 400,000 as of its January data. Having instructed developers to scrap all remaining 32X titles or upgrade to Saturn, it is clear Sega is shifting its strategy. We'll take a closer look at this unfolding rivalry in an upcoming Spotlight feature. As for the hot new games available this month, with gems aplenty there's no shortage of goodies... unless you're itching for a solid Super NES title. Those are increasingly hard to come by as the Big N refocuses on Ultra 64.

Web Updates for February

As we briskly stride through '96, the gaming biz is undeniably grabbing the 32-Bit bull by the horns. Most developers have allocated full resources to games on PlayStation, Saturn, and the highly awaited Ultra 64, leaving behind the perennial 16-Bit favorites of Super NES and Genesis. Great titles continue to emerge for the older hardware, like Yoshi's Island and Earthworm Jim 2, but now with RPGs making their initial splash onto next-gen, the PS-X and Saturn will assuredly become the main staple of your TV diets. Case-in-point: King's Field. We'll have a full review posted for this amazing RPG in this month's issue.

* Top Ten - Best Japan-Only Games
* The Review Station - King's Field on PS-X and Captain Quazar on 3DO
* Snapshots - Clockwork Knight 2, SF Alpha, Virtua Cop, Plus 9 More
* Previews Corner - Zelda 64, Super Mario RPG, & More
* PPM Player Awards - Awarding the Best Games of 1995
* Cover Gallery - Issue #34 Cover & Details
