Fast Striker is a new arcade shooter coming out for the Sega Dreamcast this winter.

American gamers will be able to get their hands on Golden Sun: Dark Dawn November 29. This will be the first Golden Sun game since Golden Sun: The Lost Age, which was released back in 2003. It's good to see this classic Game Boy Advance (GBA) series return for the Nintendo DS.
New features, such as IC Cards, mobile web integration, and new battle systems have been announced for Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS. IC Cards have been a part of arcade games in Japan for a while, but it’s the first time it will be integrated with the Gundam VS series. It will track player progress and records. However, there is no word yet on whether this will mean customizable mobile suits, like customizable characters in Tekken 6 or Super Street Fighter IV. Mobile web integration will allow players to create an online profile and connect their IC cards to it. Extreme VS will retain the NEXT Dash in Gundam VS NEXT and add in new “Extreme Action” and “Awakening” abilities. Not much about what these will do exactly. More info inside.
An update to the arcade version of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift will make an appearance at the Amusement Machine Show.

Most likely, the updated version will include console downloadable characters, rather than balance changes and new features like those in Continuum Shift. More after the jump.
