Jet Set Radio Series Tops Sega AGES Poll As Most Wanted Retro Release

Yes, please.

Sonic adventure 2 ☺️

It would be sweet to see Jet Set Radio on the Switch.

Actually, i want MaiMai Arcade ported to Nintendo Switch.

Why not all of them? I never got a chance to play most of these games and would love to play them on Switch!

Jest set radio was also great on VITA. It will be awesome on Switch.

What a list😲, even half of those games and I'm in gaming heaven😁😁

Did anyone else see JSR before reading the rest of the article's title, and have their heart skip a beat?

Jet Set Radio has been ported to so many consoles over the years, I don't see why the Switch should be left out

I'm impressed that "Mushiking: The King of Beetles" ranked higher than so many games that I have precious memories of and would love to play again. I'm also starting to worry that I'm never going to get the HD remaster of PenPen Tri-Icelon that I've been dreaming about for years.

I’d get Jet Set, Nights, and Daytona USA (maybe).

Skies of Arcadia! Also we'll hopefully see Sonic 3 & Knuckles soon since it isn't on the Genesis collection.

Phantasy Star needs to be higher on this list.

First off, yes.
Secondly, I'm surprised Phantasy Star is that low on the list. I would assume it would at least be in the top 5.

Omg I just want an arcade perfect Daytona USA game. Guardian Heroes would be awesome, Panzer Dragoon so many classics from my childhood. Thank you Sega.

I'd take Daytona first if we could somehow get an arcade port, but this would be my next choice for sure.

I just hope they both come to Switch. Jet Set Radio Future is only playable on Xbox and Xbox 360 still.

The original had an HD port, so that would be a simple touch up for the Switch.

And there’s a bunch of other games on this list I would buy in a heartbeat. Like Burning Rangers. I had an opportunity to sell my copy for $100, and I miss it sometimes. Good game.

Makes me happy that Panzer Dragoon Saga is so high, including being separate from the other PD games. It shows it's potentially being looked at more closely!

JET SET RADIOOOOOO

Jet Set Radio has a PC port. Need Jet Set Radio Future, please.

I think I’ve maybe played 5 games on this list. Never was a Sega kid growing up. Based on the positive comments about these games I’d love to see some come to Switch

The only thing I know of this game is that it cameo'd in a sega racing game and has bizzare music. Heard its a masterpiece though. Can anyone describe what it's like to me without spoilers?

This pretty much confirms we'll be seeing most, if not all these games on Switch at some point.

They don't run polls like this for nothing. Obviously they're going to take note of what fans want. And some of these have never been released or never received a proper port (Virtua Racing getting first arcade perfect port ever on Switch, for example).

And, supposedly Sega Japan said, in regards to Shenmue demand in the vote, that Sega Europe handled the remasters, and they're gonna talk to them when they visit next week. That's what's up Sega. See? Little patience and everything comes to Switch eventually. This is why I wait now.

@I_Am_A_Geek A gang of juvenile delinquents, the GGs, assert their individuality within downtown Tokyo by spray-painting graffiti while getting into scuffles with some rival gangs and avoiding the Rokkaku Police.

Absolutely, one of my favorite franchises of all time. Jet Set Radio Future to be specific, incredible game.

Where my star boi Ristar at!?!

Nice to see Panzer Dragoon Saga get 3rd. Make it happen, Sega!

I would love to be proven wrong, but I see most of these games skipping the Switch.

Most of these top choices are dull, but I'd be very interested in OutRunners, Daytona USA 2 (Have no interest in M2 doing Daytona USA 1 when it's already been done full justice in HD), Outrun 2/SP, Wing War, and the Sega Rally franchise. And I'd be up for Golden Axe: Revenge of Dead Adder and Space Channel 5 Part 1.

My top pick isn't even here, and that's Turbo Outrun. Hopefully the 3DS version that M2 handled makes it a leading candidate for making the jump to the Switch.

I would buy most of their good Dreamcast games to be honest. So many gems I have never gotten to play. It makes my fingers twitch.

Yes

I’d adore it. That and a Crazy Taxi port with the original music would be great on Switch

Some folk wonder why Sega are held in such high regard. "All they've got is Sonic" they say! This right here is why Sega were once Nintendo's equal and in some ways superior. Gather all of Sony's best first party content of the last 25 and it can't compete with this list yet all these games/series were developed in under 20 years. It's still missing many too, such as Shinobi, Skies of Arcadia, Crazy Taxi etc....

@IronMan30 After the poll results were revealed Sega said they've been working hard on emulating the Dreamcast and will speak with Sega Europe next week about Shenmue 1&2. I think expecting all of them to come to Switch is a little optimistic but i think it's safe to say many of them will. They've ran this poll for reason.

House of the Dead 2 is what I want.

Jet Set Radio Future was amazing!

What PSO had back then was special. Since the online play was exactly that, it's not gonna hold up well today.
I would love to see Space Channel 5 on the Switch.

@OorWullie I just searched for "Sega working on Dreamcast emulation". Not one thing on the 1st page of results about Sega saying "they've been working hard on emulating the Dreamcast".

@Atariboy Not quite in those words. This is what I read.

"Sega joked that all the Jet Set Radio fans in the world must have voted, because it was by far the most popular pick. However, whether it is possible is still in the works. According to Naoki Horii from M2, while they have been doing their best to get Dreamcast games working, games from beyond that generation is task that they’ll need to work on from now on.

As for Shenmue I & II, there were a lot of requests to bring the games to Nintendo Switch as well. However, the recent rereleases were handled by Sega of Europe and not Japan, so when they meet with Sega of Europe next week, they will discuss the matter."

@Eef I know. It’s probably my number one most wanted Sega port. It’d be perfect on Switch.

The real question though is where is Chu Chu Rocket? Switch was made for that game.

Sad that Skies of Arcadia didn't even crack the top 10. I would do anything to see Sega do something with that--straight port, enhanced remake, sequel, whatever.

@Dazzle what's your user pic from?

Bringing these Sega classics to the Switch and translated would be awesome:

Alisia Dragoon - Sega Genesis/Mega Drive

Scud Race - Arcade

Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder - Arcade

Shining Force III: Scenario Trilogy Set - Sega Saturn

Sonic 3 and Knuckles - Sega Genesis/Mega Drive

Lord of the Sword - Sega Master System

Bahamut Senki - Sega Genesis/Mega Drive

Astro Boy: Omega Factor - Game Boy Advance

Shinobi II: The Silent Fury - Sega Game Gear

Feel the Magic: XY/XX - Nintendo DS

Skies of Arcadia Legends - Sega Dreamcast/Nintendo GameCube

Shining Force Feather - Nintendo DS

Virtua Fighter 2 & 3 - Sega Saturn

Sega Rally - Arcade

Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side - Sega CD/Mega CD

Pulseman- Sega Genesis/Mega Drive/Sega Channel

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg - Nintendo GameCube

Kolibri - Sega 32X/Mega 32X

Sega Swirl - Sega Dreamcast

Fighter's Megamix - Sega Saturn

I am 100% fine with all these games coming to Switch lol. Should keep them busy for a while

No Crazy Taxi?! I'd buy Space Channel 5 just for Space Michael! Bonus that it's a great game.

I will gladly Buy S3&K I have fond memories of befriending the sketchy family on the block who had a Genesis just to play this game!

Oh man tottaly forgot about Jet set, i will get it on steam though but more games in the library never hurt.

@HollowGrapeJ PROFESSOR KAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!!

Would love some Sega driving love:
Daytona USA (inc.2)
Sega Rally (1-3)
Scud Race
Outrun (all)

WHERE IS SUPER MONKEY BALL?????

What a good game. I had a lot of fun in the 2000s with Jet set radio futur! Hope for a come back.

@Captain_EO
Firs thing I did was look for Crazy Taxi. Was it not an option ?

2-6. YES

Sega Rally 26th?. They ain't Sega fans.

@retro_player_22 Yes to all of the above! I'm glad others still talk about Scud Race (Sega Super GT here in the USA) and it's a shame it never got ported to any console. I played Shining Force III scenario 1 on Saturn and that's it so I'd love the see the whole trilogy come to Switch fully translated. So many great games to vote for and I went with Panzer Dragoon Saga. I'd love to play it again, I had it back in the day and sold it and there's no way I'd spend $700 to buy it again.

Jet Set Radio, Virtua Fighter and Sega Rally... please!

It would be interesting to see how different the poll would be if done in the West. All the racing games would be higher for sure while Panzer Dragoon Saga would likely be much lower. Sakura Wars wouldn't feature while Skies of Arcadia and Super Monkey Ball probably would.

@Yoshi Well it's already on the PS Vita and phones, shouldn't be that hard to port.

Outrun 2/SP would be a welcome addition for me. It ran great on the PSP so why not the Switch? Oh and what about Revenge of Shinobi?

'Tis a dark day, indeed, when 3&K loses to Adventure 1+2...

My top choices would be:

1: Panzer Dragoon Saga
2. Burning Rangers
3. Phantasy Star Online (Blue Burst ideally)
4. Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram
5. Scud Race
6. Fighters Megamix
7. OutRun 2
8. NiGHTS into Dreams
9. Shining Force 1-3
10. Jet Set Radio

Make it happen, Sega. Make it happen. I will buy every single one of them.

it's already on PC

what I really want is a NEW Jet Set Radio
and yes i know about those indiegames who claim to be the spiritual successor, but that's not the same thing.

Bring RADIANT SILVERGUN ! ^^

Turbo outrun
Virtua Cop 1&2
House of the dead series
Safari Hunt
Crazy Taxi
Teddy Boy
Sega GT
Sonic Fighters
Just to name a few more of the top of my head

Have these voters actually played Jet Set Radio recently?

Sega really need to just do a Model 1, Model 2 and Model 3 collection package. I know there will be licensing issues with some of those (like Star Wars and Daytona) but I'm sure those collections would sell like crazy, most of those games never got home releases or decent home ports.

I would have been happy to see 'Crazy Taxi' and the 'Streets of Rage' series.

I agree Out Run should be in a higher positvion, maybe a nice compilation of the main 3 title would be great (original one, Outrun 2 and Outrunners)

Also Golden Axe is 13th so not bad, but could be higher, either way the entire list should be released

Sega dreamcast titles any please!

I love those poll results... basically nothing or practically nothing from the Megadrive and Master System era, which they've been rehashing ad nauseam for years and years... Yet most of the current lineup of Sega Ages stuff is comprised of just the latter. Talk about a disconnect between what they're making and what the fans really want. That's Sega for you.

I wouldn't mind buying a collection featuring this game among others, but as I've got it on Dreamcast in the old days, got it on PC, and also got it on Vita, I played this one too much already to consider buying it AGAIN, to play it. I mean, I agree the game is good, but it seems the only platform this hasn't been ported to yet is my kitchen toaster. lol!

I'd be more interested in playing the XBOX sequel that I didn't have a chance to play.

Does anyone think Skies of Arcadia will get the Switch treatment?

I can't believe that they havent rebooted this game yet.

Definitely would love Jet Set Radio on SEGA Ages for Switch. Also, Skies of Arcadia and the Sonic Adventure games.

I actually never play Jet Set!!! I've heard great stuff and I would be interested in trying it. It's crazy that they have not released a new Jet Set game with as many fans they have of the series.

I personally think all the racing games need an HD remake. I also think that a reboot of Ecco would be awesome. Ecco isn't even on the list!

Would love to see jet set radio and their old rpg.

@DarthFoxMcCloud

Would rather see skies of arcadia remastered

@Alantor28

Think so. Still unsure how they will bring the game to switch.

Glad to see Shining Force is up that high, I'd really love a convenient way of playing Shining Force 3.

I really want:
Panzer Dragoon Orta + Saga
ChuChu Rocket
Space Channel 5
Power Stone 2 ( Capcom )
Beach Spikers
JSR
Virtua Tennis
Virtua Fighter 6
Shenmue 1 + 2 + (3)
Crazy Taxi
Space harrier (Arcade)
Super Hang-On (Arcade)
Ristar
Vectorman 1 + 2
ESWAT: City under Siege
Aztec Adventure (Master System)
Astérix (Master System)
Psycho Fox (Master System)
All Shinobi games
All SEGA Mickey Mouse games
All Wonder Boy Games
All Shining Force games
All Phantasy Star games
All House of the Dead games
All Streets of rage games
All Golden Axe games
All Out Run games
All Sonic games
.. And all ALEX Kidd games

Basically we all want Future. Had tons of fun when it was the pack in deal with Sega Rally Championship on the Xbox.

Surprised at how low Sega Rally scored! Used to love that when I was younger.

But, as with a lot of these titles, I think it's less about people not thinking highly of them and more that the higher-voted titles were just overwhelmingly popular. They would all make great conversions!

I want Sega Ages to become the equivalent of Virtual Console (R.I.P.), but just for Sega. In other words, please give us all of your incredible back catalog, Sega — and don't skimp on Saturn / Dreamcast titles!

That said, if I had to pick one game, it would be Panzer Dragoon Saga. I never owned Saturn, and I don't have 1000 bucks to dish out on getting an authentic, used version of the game (plus I'd need to buy a used Saturn). This game is supposedly one of the lost gems of gaming. It should be played by more of us. Please share it with the world, Sega!

SEGA produced the best version of Broderbund's Choplifter. Would be nice to see an enhanced port of that.

Over Panzer Dragoon Saga? For SHAME. I have a copy of JSR on my Vita for chrissake.

@Spiders The poll got a LOT of people asking for Jet Set Radio Future on Xbox in its final hours.

@ClassSonicSatAm Unfortunately, back when Sega was making some changes to how they handled mobile games (around 2013-15) some games that had been on iOS and Android previously were removed, and Jet Set Radio happened to be one of them. :/

@Sabrewing I'd take FUTURE, but not over Azel/Saga. Especially considering the amount of work it would take to bring that game back at all, it's just thr more important game to have fan demand. JSRF already runs on a modified version Direct X and an x86 processor. A port is relatively trivial.

@Marakuto That's annoying... I guess we have to wait intill they decide to re-release it again as part of SEGA FOREVER thing.
