According to reports breaking in Japan this morning, Sega is poised to release a huge amount of Sammy games in the region for PlayStation 2.
Early reports suggest that Sammy's home software, the majority of which is made up of AtomisWave arcade ports, may make up to half of all PlayStation 2 software released by Sega Japan over the course of the next 12 months.
As you will know, the first Sega-published Sammy game to be announced - and to be released on a global basis - is Seven Samurai 20XX, due for release for PlayStation 2 later this year.
We'll bring you updates from two retail meetings in mid-April, at which Sega will show "a considerable amount on new software". More significant light should be shed on what's in store then, so stay tuned.
