News: Sammy dumps dimps

SegaSammy Holdings has divested itself of all interest in Dimps, according to this report at the AM press. SegaSammy at one time held 51% of all Dimps stock, and was actively funding the company, but now all Sammyshares are being sold back to the Dimps director. It's unclear if Osamu Satomi of Sammy will remain on at Dimps after this, ditto SNK's Takashi Nishiyama. Back in 2000, Dimps was established out of the company Sokiac, by Sammy (51%), Bandai (13%), SCE (10%) and Sega (10%). The Sega percentage was not mentioned in the report, so one wonders if there's still some vested interest for the company. Further, with Bandai's recent expansion, merging with Namco, it would be an opportune time to properly acquire the relatively successful developer. Also, all Sega Sammy US arcade manufacturing and distribution has been consolidated into the Chicago sammy office. The wording was confusing on that last bit, so please correct me if I'm wrong!
News: Trizeal on PS2

This was just revealed on Sega's page for the Tokyo Game Show 2005. With the name Shooting Love ~Trizeal~ [!], the last DC game and one of the best examples on how to ruin the classic shooting formula with an inconsistent audiovisual department, is in production at the moment for the Sony console, joining Chaos Field (already announced for the PS2) for the cause. Not a dying genre, it seems.
News: 'Sequels', you say?

In its latest issue, Famitsu Magazine published a long list of forthcoming titles for the current generation consoles, specifically lots of sequels/remakes of well known classic games. Some of them had been already revealed at E3, some were just rumored, and others are quite surprising. This is the case of Gokumakaimura (or is it 'Kyokumakaimura'?) for the PSP, Capcom's sequel to Chohmakaimura [Super Ghouls'n Ghosts], which is confirmed to have 2D gameplay. Xenosaga is also coming back as a DS game, as is Bokujou Monogatari [Harvest Moon] and Street Fighter Zero 3 (subtitled 'Double Upper', meaning that we could find some new characters), both for the PSP. Also, more than one game based in the Sakura Taisen universe is currently being made for the PS2, as is Sega Rally 2005. There will be a new Crazy Taxi for the next generation systems, Power Smash 3 [Virtua Tennis 3] (ARC) and a new Afterburner (ARC). These two titles will supposedly be supported by the Lindbergh system and be presented at tomorrow's AM Show, along with the previously announced Virtua Fighter 5 and The House of the Dead 4.
