SEGA Launches New Streets Of Rage Merch In Europe

They couldn't at least reprint Yuzo Koshiro's amazing soundtrack on vinyl? Meh.

Why would they have the names of the characters take up the space in the center of that shirt? Isn't having Axel, Blaze, and Adam beneath the Streets Of Rage logo enough?

@Magician I could be reading your message wrong, but the Streets of Rage OST has been printed on Vinyl already. In fact, it's currently available on the UK based, Data Disc's website, and they do ship worldwide with few exceptions.

i've only ever managed to beat this game with the Mega Drive Classics app's rewind function. Yeah, it's cheating! But the game is hard. maybe one day i'll beat it legit.

@John_Koshiro Agreed - that's stopping me buying it sadly

@Knuckles Thanks for that, but I was only being flippant, I don't actually collect vinyl.

Oh damn, can I import one of them mugs?

@Magician Then to seriously answer the question, Data Discs likely has European if not worldwide exclusivity to sell the Vinyl OST.

@John_Koshiro I assume its trying to reference the annoying "Ampersand" or "Helvetica List" shirts craze thats been around for about a decade now and doesn't seem to be dying out, the first of which was a "John & Paul & George & Ringo" shirt, but has since turned into a generic format for a list of people, characters or things representing a specific property you want to support - often without breaking any copyright or trademarks and avoiding needing to pay royalties. For example I saw a Street Fighter one that was "Hadouken & Bison & Turbo & Sheng Long" or something to that effect.

However, if that WAS the intention, it ruined it by adding the graphics and logo. The whole point is its meant to be a list of things that only fans would know what it was referencing.

Also, I agree with you, personally I hate those type of shirts and find them generic and annoying, like the constant stream of "Keep Calm and x" shirts. If it was just the SOR logo, or the characters, box art etc, I'd be a lot more likely to want to buy it. The cap and the mug look a lot better, though still a bit like generic Red Bubble / Cafe Press / Spreadshirt style influencer merch.

Anybody know where I could pick up a Sonic the Hedgehog ceramic bowl? I've been looking online, including the Sega shop linked in this article but can't find one. The closest I found was a noodle bowl but the cost including shipping was very high. Looking to give it to my son as a breakfast bowl.

Someone tell Slopes!

Lucky Europe. I'd love to have stuff like that.

What stops me from buying anything there is that even though a EU Sega Shop exists, when the time to pay comes there are taxes that make price skyrocket, on top of shipping, so the prices shown are without taxes. And no, I wasn't trying to buy in the UK shop from the EU. It was the EU shop. A shame.
