Although it thinks that there is also much more familiar one to the formal site of news and other Sega development separate companies, it has July 1, 2004 and SEGA-AM2 unifies with Sega. Since the company "SEGA-AM2, Inc." dies, it also ends this SEGA-AM2 formal site on July 1. July 1 or subsequent ones - The formal site, weekly-am2, and supporter ZURINKU of a game title All the pages of an except are closed. information to save -- the inside of now -- pleasing -- !

That's some thick engrish so I can't say for sure, but they aren't dying, they are just merging back into Sega, right?

Sega's Web site announcement comes a few days after two of its internal studios, Hitmaker and Amusement Vision, announced that they will be closing their sites. The closings come just before the merger of Sega's subsidiaries, which will take place on the same day as Segas site relaunches.

Hey, sometimes you have to deal with collateral damage when elimating bile like Shenmue.

Hmmm, back to how things were in the Genesis days? Sounds good to me...

Christ, no games are dead, people.

Sega's just making everyone work under the same damned roof, so to speak.

SEGA won't be focusing on JSR or Samba anytime soon. They need to work on profitable games.

I was poking about the site and found this page:GALAXY FORCE SITE - MD VERSION

It just seems a little odd that they would put up a site for a Megadrive game that came out in 1991 when they didn't even do the port. I could understand if they maybe had a site for the arcade version... still, it's cool and funny at the same time, though I wonder why since they did this, why not put up sites for every AM2 port (MD, Genesis, Sat, etc) heh.

Damn I love Galaxy Force and we STILL haven't gotten an arcade perfect port of that game!! Saturn version is close but not good enough!! :mad

Maybe now the heads of Sega mini studios will stop acting like CEO's with bottomless pits of money and start actually thinking about where to invest their money. Naka with his hate on for PS2 was a prime example of how personal dislike influenced development, all these guys needed to be taken down a notch IMO. The Ledger can't run red forever.

I fucking hate Sony & the PS2 but I totally agree with you there.

Looks like the new Sega site is up already?

http://www.sega.jp/

Haven't check it for a while so I'm not sure if this is actually new.

Oh, and take a look a this

http://www.sega.jp/info/sktk04campaign.html

Is it some king of promotional campaign with Sony (PSX inside)?

segasonic · Jul 1, 2004

I saved the whole site with Offline Explorer. It had 13.000 files and over 1 Gigabyte of data on it :eek

R.I.P. AM2, greatest development studio on the planet.
