Sega's Yosuke Okunari, producer of the upcoming XBLA and PSN Dreamcast re-releases, has explained the company's Sega Saturn snub.

In an interview with Impress Watch, the Sega man explained the decision to skip offering downloadable Saturn games was down to the global failure of console.

"The Genesis and Dreamcast are well known, but Saturn is unknown. During that period, PlayStation and Nintendo 64 were a success overseas, but to be honest Saturn was not a success. Because of this, we decided on Dreamcast," he said.

However, referencing the PlayStation 2 port of Nights, Okunari argued that Sega hasn't ignored the Saturn.

"It's not that we're ignoring Saturn I think you can see this, considering that we ported Nights Into Dreams and other titles," he said.

There may be some hope for Saturn fanatics, as Okunari stated that Sega are still considering ports of Saturn games and invited readers to share their requests.

"What we announced this time is a project where we will have consecutive releases of titles that were debuted on Dreamcast. Separate from this, we're of course thinking about ports of Saturn games. It's the same as how Sega Ages and Virtual Console were separate existences. It's not that we have no intention of porting Saturn titles, so please share your requests."

Although the Saturn wasn't a success, it gained popularity amongst 2D fighting game fanatics and was home to a number of memorable new Sega games such as the Panzer Dragoon series.

Speaking at the GameHorizon Conference today, head of Microsoft Game Studios Peter Molyneux has reportedly unveiled that Fable III will be distributed in an episodic format as well as through retail.
That's according to those on the show floor, such as GamesBrief's Nicholas Lovell, who claimed on Twitter: "Fable III will be episodic. First hour will be free, will be the demo and end on a cliffhanger. Users can buy next episode or full game."
Lovell also suggested that Molyneux criticised the current demo format popular with many studios and publishers on the likes of Xbox Live.
Addressing the audience at the opening of the second day of the Gateshead event, Molyneux went on to defen Milo, which was suggested to be a tech demo only yesterday, before Microsoft moved to quash the rumours.
Claiming that while he empathised with Microsoft's reservations about the Kinect project’s potential with the public, Molyneux insisted he was confident that the title has the quality and technical capability to impress audiences.

Whether you play Monster Hunter Frontier Online on a PC or an Xbox 360 you connect to the same server. Going multiplatform gave the virtual world a noticeable bump in the number of online monster hunters.

On June 27, Monster Hunter Frontier Online hit a new milestone. Famitsu reports Monster Hunter Frontier Online had over 70,000 simultaneous players. The number pales in comparison to, say, World of Warcraft, but the Xbox 360 is having an effect on the game. 38,333 people were playing the established PC version and 34,197 people logged on via the Xbox 360 beta.

The Xbox 360 version launched three days prior on June 24.
