Sega Wants To Meet Fan Expectations, But Unsure About Inclusion Of Jet Set Radio In AGES Line

"It'd be too hard and.. and.. you're all biased no one actually wants this game."

"You think you want it, but you don't."

Famitsu should shut their cake holes, or ENCOURAGE the re-release of JSR.

Even if we didn't already have Jet Set Radio HD on PS3/360/XB1, no interest in this one at all. Give me more Super Scalers, please.

And I wouldn't mind Turbo from 1981, Daytona USA 2, Sega Super GT, Sega Rally arcade, or an ultimate Outrun 2 collection remastered in high-definition with everything included.

Hideki Naganuma is awesome and Sega should give him all the games.

I love JSR so much, but I don't blame them if they don't want to do it. It already got an HD version and I still don't see many people who know about it or even care.

The engineer said "I'll try to let the titles of newer hard than Dreamcast working in switch."
He meant about JSRF?

"We'll port anything you want, so long as it is something we were going to do anyway."

Direct port the PS360 version over. Can't be that difficult right? Plus you did promise SEGA systems other than Mega Drive....

Please! We want it!

Yes, definitely want Jet Set Radio and JSR Future on Switch! Jet Set Radio Future is more difficult to play (crappy frame rate on backwards compatible play on Xbox 360), so I'm most excited about that one possibly coming to Switch. Chu Chu Rocket would be great also. It would be absolutely awesome to get Out Run 2006 coast 2 coast on Switch!

i like to see jet set radio on switch

"We thank our fans for voicing their support, and now we're going to ignore them."

Jet Set Radio is one of my favorite series

I barely played Jet Set Radio on my Dreamcast - just never got into it ... probably because I was addicted to Crazy Taxi at the time.

Oh, so votes are meaningless like the Smash Bros thing or the 2000 and 2016 Presidential Elections?

Good to know.

I would love to see this and potentially the arcade version of Daytona (or just the PS3 or 360 port) on SEGA Ages not to mention Daytona 2 would be amazing. I would easily buy any of them if released.

@ZachBeacon Almost all of Smash Ultimate's newcomers so far were common suggestions in the Fighter's Ballot. Sakurai is definitely listening to people there.

And hopefully Sega doesn't ignore how high Panzer Dragoon Saga placed in the list, apart from the franchise as a whole.

I don’t like polls. They always nominate the big, popular stuff. I want the more obscure games that don’t usually have a chance outside of a collection like this!

NO WE WANT A NEW JET SET RADIO

is that so hard to understand? it is easily one of the most unique and best games ever made.

Yes please!

@Atariboy 100% agree with you the games you mention are Sega at their very best and also Namco should give us a ridge racer collection

Yess, jet set radio would be amazone,

I would like to see shenmue, from The Sega dreamcast, this whas one of my al time favorites.

I absolutely don't want this game. I have it on 360 in HD.

Does the composer get residuals?

@Sabrewing

Bayonetta was the only one they claimed had anything to do with the vote and the phrasing* was odd enough that it's obvious that she wasn't the actual winner. Also they've also said it takes about a year to program characters so they were clearly going to put her in anyway.

(Though I guess you could argue that she's so broken because she was a rush job that wasn't properly balanced)

There is some speculation that some of the later DLC Mii costumes were among the actual winners.

*"Winner in European region". Not worldwide. Not Japan or America (their two biggest markets).

Edit: Not talking about Ultimate. I was talking about 4... because that's what they said the ballot was for.

Wait, Dreamcast games are on the table for Ages? Heck, forget VC, I’d be happy with Dreamcast games on Switch! Heck, I would loooove the Sonic Adventure games in a portable format, considering we are clearly never getting a Chao Garden again!

@ZachBeacon the Smash Bros poll was obviously always going to be meaningless regardless of what they advertised it to be. It takes too long to create characters and most of the winners likely weren’t characters they could as easily get the rights to or that most fans would be happy with, given the internet is mostly trolls (especially the people who definitely built bots to submit multiple votes, which would happen no matter how well they tried to avoid that). I imagine most of the “winners” were actually stuff like Goku or Shrek, while the characters actually added were probably ones fans had been suggesting informally for years (within reason). But I didn’t know a single person who believed that poll was actually going to be used directly for the game’s DLC, it was clearly a publicity stunt while the data was more likely information gathering for future games. I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere there was fine print stating they were not necessarily using the results for their DLC characters (especially given the chance that the winners would be unfeasible due to issues like not being able to get the rights).

I've been saying the list wouldn't mean all the games would be released. I'm counting on 8 and 16 bit games releases, but people's expectations have been too high since the poll.

@ReaderRagfish I’d actually love a Chu Chu Rocket port with online play. Would work perfect in local handheld!

Stopped reading here and started giggling.

Sega only wants to look like they're listening to the fans. When they're actually supposed to listen it becomes too hard. It took them decades just to make Sonic Mania +.

Seems like Sega are following Nintendos lead.

@ZachBeacon “Oh, so popular votes are meaningless like the Smash Bros thing or the 2000 and 2016 Presidential Elections?”

FTFY

I buy it, but I would like to see to play the Arcade Shinobi, Golden Axe Death Adder, Panzer Dragoon or the Daytona USA Series by far more then JetSet.

Such a cool game that sadly hasn't aged well, and the soundtrack will make your ears bleed.

I'm legit not buying any Sega Ages games until they at least get to Saturn or Dreamcast.

@ShadJV

Look, I never thought they were going to go completely by the polls because I doubt they'd put Boaty McBoatface or whatever in Smash. Up until I found out how long it takes to make a new character, I did think that they'd at least consider the more serious popular nominees and I imagine most of those were owned by Nintendo (look at how nuts people are going over Waluigi and he could probably just be done as a reskin), associated with Nintendo consoles, or associated with licensed characters already in the game.

Also, while I can see where licensing may be an issue, I don't get why Goku is constantly listed as one of the crazy troll options. He's a lot less out of place in a colorful chaotic cartoon fighting game than Solid Snake... or Bayonetta.

Rather not think about Shrek though. Wario is already one too many characters with fart-based attacks.

Tragic, but I'm good. goes back to playing JSR on his Vita

@ZachBeacon "Because they said 4 is what they said the ballot was for". Yes, because Sakurai has never once used any misdirection to hide future projects. 9_9 At any rate, he came right out and said the ballot inspired current roster additions, so there's no sneaking around that fact.

So they don't want to re-release the game because they think the music composer is trying to bank more royalties? That's what it sounds like to me at least. These games would have been towards the top of the list regardless of outside influences. I mean just the existence of Hover should be enough to make Sega see that it's a beloved franchise.

JSR remains arguably Sega's best game ever. At least the most "Sega-ey" one.

JSR would be great, but I think the Panzer Dragoon Series should be more of a priority.

I’ve never had a chance to play this game and would like to but would rather have the HD version.

I'd go bananas if they started bringing Dreamcast games to Switch. Jet Set Radio, Space Channel 5, and Seaman would be amazing. Although, that last one would require a microphone so that seems extremely unlikely.

Edit: Oh- and don't forget Chu Chu Rocket!

I think there are many more interesting games to be ported, this one is not really something I would care for

@justin233 I have the steam version and in setting up a computer for my son to use on our tv I tested this game running at 2560x1440 scaled down to 1080p to test out some super sampling. It looked amazing and ran flawlessly and my computer is pretty low end. I previously ran it on an Intel Atom based Tablet/laptop and it ran perfectly there too, obviously not at that resolution.

My point is the PC release seems to be properly ported so that it should run on just about anything. Which makes sense considering this is a Dreamcast game that’s locked to 30fps. Also it has full Xbox controller support.

I’d recommend the PC release to anyone who wants this game now. I think it was less than $10. It might be available DRM free from GOG too. You could play it “portable” on a laptop but that would be a great reason to buy the SWITCH version down the line if you like the game enough.

Fans: All we want is Jet Set Radio HD. That's it.

Sega: Nah, you want THIS:

Before anyone asks, yes, they ARE involved with this one.

What's even the point of running a poll if they didn't get the result they clearly wanted.

Man, I hope that they come. Would buy them instantly. JSRF is one of my favourite games of all time. To have it on Switch... could finally get rid of my original XBOX.
