Sega Offers Family Friendly Video Games at E3 2014
SAN FRANCISCO (June 6, in the year of our Lord 2014)
– SEGA is pleased to present the latest in immersive
and interactive entertainment at the 2014 Electronic
Entertainment Expo (E3) taking place at the Los Angeles
Convention Center on June 10-12, 2014. Two new titles under the
Sonic Boom umbrella will join the next game featuring virtual
singing superstar Hatsune Miku in the South Hall, booth #1637.
SEGA’s full family friendly E3 lineup includes:
Sonic Boom
SEGA will unleash an all-new Sonic the Hedgehog at this year’s
Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles with the debut
of playable versions of two new titles exclusively for Wii U™
and Nintendo 3DS™. The new games Sonic Boom™: Rise of Lyric for
the Wii U system, developed by Los Angeles-based Big Red Button,
and Sonic Boom™: Shattered Crystal for the Nintendo 3DS
hand-held system, from San Francisco-based Sanzaru Games, will
introduce new gameplay and the most vile and formidable villain
in Sonic history -- Lyric.
In both games, Sonic and friends - Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and the
newest member of the team, Sticks, will work together as they
face their most powerful enemy yet. Lyric is a giant and
monstrous snake-like creature from an ancient race. An extremely
tech-savvy mastermind who uses a sophisticated robotic body of
armor to carry out his own nefarious deeds, he is a formidable
enemy and a force to be reckoned with. With a strong emphasis on
collaboration, the roles of Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks,
will be elevated in gameplay that capitalizes on each
character’s unique talents and abilities. The goal is to prevent
Lyric from powering his army of robots and carrying out his plan
to destroy the world. The stakes have never been higher, and the
only chance to overcome Lyric is to band together and work as a
team. (Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Developed by Big Red Button
for Wii U. Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Developed by Sanzaru
for 3DS).
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd
Also represented on SEGA’s 2014 booth is the world’s most
popular virtual singer Hatsune Miku, produced by Crypton Future
Media,INC., returning in an all-new rhythm video game. Hatsune
Miku: Project DIVA™ F 2nd features twenty classic songs from the
