In addition to all the battle, menu and character creation footage, the video shows four Japanese players having the time of their lives playing local multiplayer. While I certainly don’t […]

Ok, no it’s not my actual girlfriend, but rather a new gadget from Sega Toys.
“EMA,” or Eternal Maiden Actualization, stands at 38cm tall (just over a foot) and has the abilities to sing, dance and walk “like a lady,” according to Sega. Internal infra-red sensors also allow for a high level of interactivity with […]
