There are rumors going around that Sega's AM Team maybe developing a sequel to Top Skater called Top Skater 2. The best news is that it is supposedly being developed for the Noami arcade board which means a Dreamcast port is very likely. Stay tuned for more details.


Sega has made more updates to Sonic Adventure than just fixing the camera angles and some bugs. They have made it fully online compatible. The online features are as follows:

The ability to connect to the Sonic Adventure webpage at sonic.dreamcast.com (unavailable as of August 26, 1999).

A proprietary web browser designed just for the game.

World Ranking Mode: Upload your best level times and compare them to people around the world.

Hints Section.

Chao Garden: a place that will allow you to store your Chaos, upload race rankings, evaluate you Chao, and also trade emblems on the Black Market for new Chaos.

Access to more tracks for the Twinkle Star racing circuit stage through the Mercury GP section of the Sonic Adventure web site.

The ability to download a patch to your VMU on September 9, 1999 to change the Station Square into a Dreamcast launch celebration with balloons and banners.

The ability to add new gameplay elements by downloading a patch to your VMU.

As you can see Sega has outdone themselves. This Internet mode is supposed to be supported for a year so we have a lot to look forward to once Sonic Adventure arrives on 9.9.99.

Information was released today on how the Visual Memory Unit (VMU) will be used in some of the release games. Here is a run down of what will be available:

Sonic Adventure

The VMU will allow you to download Chaos (Virtual Pets) from the game and nurture, feed, and care for them. After raising them you can engage them in head-to-head Chao battles and mini games.

Sega NFL 2K

With the VMU you will be able to choose your plays on the VMU display so that you can suprise your opponent with plays that they can't see on the TV screen.

Power Stone

After completing the Arcade mode with different characters you will be able to download mini-games to the VMU. These mini-games include a airplane shooter and a slot machine. As you play these games you will earn gold coins which will allow you to open special features including an art gallery and a collection of music and sounds from the game.

Ready 2 Rumble

The VMU will allow you to track your health meter, punches thrown, and your percentage of accuracy on the small screen. This will let you clear off the TV screen allowing you to focus on the fight at hand.

TrickStyle

One mini-game is available with TrickStyle. It is called TrickStyle Jr. and makes you ride a hover-board over pickups that increases the length of the colorful streak of light trailing behind your board in the real game.
