Earlier today, RubyEclipse announced the launch of an official fan artist contest for Phantasy Star Portable 2. The winner of the contest will have their piece included as a room decoration in the localized version of the game! Entries must be Phantasy Star themed and be a multiple of 374 x 561 pixels. This size was selected so the art piece could be scaled properly for use in-game. Here is a breakdown of the prizes as quoted from the website:
If you are interested, you will have to move quickly. The submission deadline is June 2nd. Submissions should be mailed to [email protected]. Be sure to visit the website to review the contest rules.
Update for June 1st: The submission deadline has been changed to June 8th.
Sega of America announced today that the release date for the highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog 4 game had been pushed back until "latter half of 2010." This was done to give the Development team time to continue "tuning and balancing of levels and interface and overall maintaining the kind of polish that an important game like this demands."
In addition, it was announced that the game will be made available to iPhone users by way of Apple's iTunes Store. This development was anticipated by many given that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 will be a download-only release and the rising prominence of the iPhone as a gaming platform. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is also slated to be released on Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade, Sony Playstation Network, and Nintendo WiiWare.
To wet the appetite of eager fans, the following trailer for the "Splash Hill Zone" was released:
