This Is What A New Streets Of Rage And ESWAT Could Have Looked Like

Panzer dragoon, streets of rage, shining force, alex kidd, wonderboy, golden axe (better than beast riders), skies of arcadia, jet set radio, crazy taxi, virtual on, fighting vipers - that'll do for now

I like the artwork for Streets of Rage & I'm indifferent to the E-Swat art. Streets of Rage is Soooooo overdue for an update! Panzer Dragoon too!

Artwork is bad the original sreets of rage looked better than that

@Morph what you said X 24!

I'd love to see a new 2D Streets of Rage. SOR II was definitely one of my most played games on the Genesis.

The ESWAT art has a slight 'Double Dragon Neon' quality... and I thought that game was a lot of fun.

If that artwork was the backbone of the pitch, then I can see why Sega wasn't all that excited :/

are you serious, Sega? RELEASE A NEW STREETS OF RAGE ALREADY!!!!! Make a new Street of Rage and new Golden Axe (not like Beast Rider) and have then as PSN/XBLA/eShop purchases. Look at Double Dragon Neon, and learn from that game.

Rolling Thunder needs a revival badly. I loved 2 & 3 on the Genesis, as well as the first one on the NES and arcade. I know it's a Namco title, but still.

Sega loves to ignore the Streets of Rage fan base. Its time to make a new one.

Another Streets of Rage game got cancelled, are you serious!?! Come on Sega, bring back the Streets of Rage gang, heck, I could come up with the story for another game. Or at the very least, do what Capcom did with some of there final fight characters and bring some of the Streets of Rage characters into the Virtua Fighter series. ESWAT should also get a revival.

What Sega series would you like to see resurrected on modern hardware?

We really need Ristar to shine again, not as a flagman, but as a hero, once more!

@KnightRider666 YEAH!! The Rolling Thunder games are awesome!!

@Dreamcaster-X: Agreed. RT2 is my favorite though.

More Ristar, Streets of Rage, Shining Force (strategy), and Vectorman are highly be appreciated.

I don't get why Sega are so eager to forget their past. The Mega Drive was their best console. Games series like Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Shinobi and Alex Kidd, plus the single releases like Kid Chameleon, Ristar, Decap Attack, and even Sonic deserve better.

It's still criminal to me that SEGA still hasn't released Daytona USA 2 for any home console yet. That game came too close to the end of the arcade era, didn't see too many of em around. A complete Daytona USA 1 & 2 Deluxe package (with perhaps Virtua Racing as a hidden bonus!!) is SO overdue...

I feel ify about this kind of stuff always , they take a way different approach on games when they try to recreate a classic. Just like they did on Double Dragon for xbla..

They sure don't make games like they used to, thats for sure. I'd be nice if many of the classics made a comeback even if its just as small downloadable titles.

I remember Backbone. They made those Sonic Rivals games...

Yeah I can see why Sega didn't go ahead with the project.

That artwork is awful. No thanks.

Not a huge fan of that art style. Looks just a tad on the Saturday morning cartoon side. I honestly hope nobody ever tries to bring Streets of Rage back, it wouldn't be possible to capture the same essence using today's technology. There was something inherently unique about the 16-bit Genesis audio and video that worked to create the Streets of Rage essence. Not to mention it's not the 90's anymore so there's no chance of it being nearly as awesome.

The artwork is too kiddish. What was Backbone thinking? Streets of Rage and ESWAT are not made for small children.

List of games like Streets of Rage. The list only includes side-scrolling beat’em-ups where the basic attacks are left/right and character movement is up/down/left/right.

The list is on the list making site L-Lists.
