Sega Plans To Revive Even "More" Legacy Franchises

Honestly, I see this as a hopeful for a port of Skies of Arcadia.

And that, my friends, is all I care for right now.

My favourite announcement of the show. But if any of the trailers revealed throughout the show, showed us anything, it showed that Nintendo really do need to up their game, hardware wise.

I hope that if we get a new NiGHTS game, it's a full 3d game this time. They experimented with the idea when Journey of Dreams was early in development, but apparently, that didn't work well. Now that they're working with 200 times better hardware, they could potentially make something truly special.

Make it so, Sega! 😛

Slow down there Sega. You can't just make worthy revivals in a day. Let the games you've already announced fully cook before adding more.

Hope this means new sonic and sega all stars racing game

@OctoCallie20 I doubt hardware power is the primary reason that reimaginings don't work out so well. 200 times better hardware won't alone get you 200 times better gameplay.

Cant really choose, i love all of them.
I hope, Altered Beast is one of those on their list.

This was the best part of the VGAs for me. There were a lot of great announcements and I dug the show as a whole (I follow DICE for the REAL game awards). As a Sega kid for the 16-bit Era and a huge Arcade Gamer, this trailer was like a viking call-to-arms for the Sega faithful. Can't wait!

I would really like to believe this, every 5 years Sega claims this and some how it just means more and more Yakuza games.

I'm extremely cynical about anything Sega announces not named Yakuza or Total War. What is the last good Sega game made inhouse that wasn't from those IP? No, Atlas doesn't count. The last time Sega tried to make Golden Axe, it sucked ass. The last two Monkey Ball games are either bad or underwhelming, and they're either HD ports or HD level packs, yet Sega still found a way to botch them. The last Shinobi was incredibly forgettable. Crazy Taxi is the equivalent of a $5-10 indy game these days. Outside of Generations, the only universally loved Sonic game in the last 20 years was made by passionate fans. Panzer Dragoon and Streets of Rage 4 were given out to different devs and pubs.

What has Sega done in the last 20 years to give us any faith that these games won't be dumpster fires that crap all over their legacies?

@OctoCallie20 Sonic '06 was on 200 times better hardware than Sonic Adventure. That didn't seem to work out very well.

Skies of Arcadia please!

reimaging?

Anyway, just give us the originals for goodness sake.

@burninmylight Shinobi is being developed by the Streets of Rage 4 devs, so you can rest easy with that one.

@burninmylight Lizard Cube
is doing Shinobi. I thrust them 100%!

Part of me wants an Alex Kidd revival. There’s a really good unofficial sequel to Miracle World. It would be great if they could remaster that in the remake’s style and make it official.

My expectations are very tempered here... but I really hope Sega manage to pull this off. The IPs that they list are phenomenal - truly some of the greatest legacies in gaming history!

I think I would feel more comforted if they have named fewer of the initial 5... maybe 2 or 3 max, suggesting a more direct focus on 'quality' vs quantity. SOR and Jet Set would have been plenty to get the fanbase salvating IMP

Great to see Sega venture beyond just Sonic and Yakuza. As for the confirmed revivals, I'm most looking forward to Shinobi.

About time.

Sega needs to leave Sonic alone for a bit.

They have a good legacy of other franchises that could do with some time in the limelight.

Oh my goodness please please give us billy Hatcher! Please! Bring him back!

Well, I chose Jet Set Radio, 'cause there was no "Other (comment below)" option. Also, I wonder – D's Diner/D no Shokutaku/D is owned by Sega, or by late Kenji Iino's relatives? I would like to play D's Diner games...

Make these games exclusive releases to come out as launch titles alongside a new SEGA console 🥳

We'll have to wait and see the quality of these games or who are the actual developers because Sega isn't making all of them.

@ibookboyuk I miss arcade style franchises. Unfortunately that era died with Dreamcast. Sega has alot if golden arcade franchises that should come back.

@burninmylight GA: Beast Rider is what you're referring to? It was developed by Secret Level, who was bought by Sega mid-development, so I gueeeeeesssss you could call that in-house, if we are stretching.
It doesn't really matter. If these games are farmed out to passionate developers like SoR4 etc, then that could be a very positive thing. I definitely understand the trepidation.

Honestly maybe shinobi mainly because my dad played shinobi in the arcade when he was younger.
But the games that aren’t on the list that I wanna see get new life are skies of Arcadia (mainly I heard that’s a great RPG) and billy Hatcher (because that is a game I remember really liking).

Also I wanna play all of these to see what I missed since I never played any of these.

I'm excited. Just want to know who is making each of the games. As I've said a thousand times, yeah. Give your franchises to people who want to make them. People who DREAM of making a new Shinobi or Golden Axe, etc.
I'm hopeful.

@MARl0 and that seals it. That's a dream game to me. SoR 4 is basically perfect, and Shinobi is my jam.

@Greatluigi but you played SoR2 and 4 yes???

Seems weird that people in the comments are acting like SEGA doesn’t look at their past often already, when they’ve greenlit revivals for Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, Panzer Dragoon, Streets of Rage, Alex Kidd, House of the Dead, Chu Chu Rocket, Super Monkey Ball, Space Channel 5, Toejam & Earl, Wonder Boy, Samba de Amigo and Cosmic Smash all within the last few years.

Anyways, most looking forward to a new 3D Streets of Rage and I want to see either Pulseman or Seaman get revived.

First I pop in and add to the line that begs for Skies of Arcadia

Second...please please please Zombie Revenge!

Would love new or even remasters of Virtua Striker 2, Virtua Fighter 2 and Sega Rally please!

I'm a bit skeptical as i suspect they are all low budget games.
Quantity over quality.

Sega's major games is still released exclusively on PC.
Yakuza is the only big series for consoles.

I think Sega has been doing good work as of late. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania was pretty solid, Samba de Amigo was enjoyable, and the Sonic games have been consistently pretty good as well.

I haven't really played any of these other franchises being revived by Sega, but I had never played Samba or Monkey Ball before, either. So I will likely pick up Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio at the very least, whenever they come out. Not sure if I'd be that into the others, but we'll see. NiGHTS is a series I've never played but always wanted to, so hopefully it makes a return as well. Would also like to see more Sonic Ports/Remakes, especially Generations, Lost World, and Adventure. And sure, might as well make a new All-Stars Racing while they're at it, why not?

Beyond that, I really don't even know what other IP Sega owns. I know they have the rights to Puyo Puyo, and I think they're the parent company of Atlus who makes the Persona games, and then there's Yakuza, Panzer Dragoon, and I think that Fantasy Star Online thing is owned by them as well but I know nothing about it. Is that basically Sega's whole catalog, or am I leaving off something important?

Anyways, I'm very pleased with what Sega is been doing and frankly think the past several years (since 2017) have been the best era of gaming... ever. I'd say starting in around 2008, there was just a lot of terrible business decisions going on in the industry for the span of a decade that just felt very opposite of what the fans wanted--Sonic Boom, Sticker Star, Crash: Mind Over Mutant, Spyro becoming exclusive to Skylanders, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures... it was not a fun time. But companies have finally learned to go back to what worked before with remakes of beloved classics and then using those as the foundation for brand-new entries. It's been a joy to see.

I would like to see MaiMai get the console version.

There still hasn't been a great 3D beat em up, so I worry about SOR going the way of Contra in the 3D era. SOR is the franchise that interests me most, but since SOR4 has me placated, and based on the footage in this reveal, I'm most excited about Shinobi.

As for other franchises, I suppose Trauma Center is worth trying without a stylus or sensor bar. But also a new Gunstar Heroes would be nice.

I am sick of Sonic the bloody hedgehog. Can't wait to see what they do with these titles.

@GrailUK here here.

As good as this sounds, I think they should focus more on making their already ongoing franchises better, because they're not always the greatest. Though I guess maybe these forgotten franchises will be easier for them to do better with. If so, bring it on!

Phantasy Star I - IV, if they can be done well.

Baffling that it’s taken this long for Sega to realise they have great IPs outside of Sonic that people want more of but better late than never. I hope Skies of Arcadia gets a second wind with a remake, I’d even take a straight HD port at this point.

@locky-mavo I expect many announced games will be confirmed for their next machine once it’s announced, especially ones like the new Mana game which would have been a shoe in for Switch earlier in its life.

I would love a proper follow up to Gunstar Heroes after all these years. I know they did one on GBA but i want a proper sequel.

Dotemu has already done an excellent job with Streets of Rage 4. Sega shouldn't "hurt themselves" by trying to top that. A new Golden Axe game could be fun though. But again, I would like Dotemu to make it.

Bring back the Billy Hatcher series!

I thought for once the trailer was nicely made, bringing up hype. Now, few companies manage to "revive" their IPs every single time like Nintendoes.
Wish Sega all the best, but between this and their "super amazing secret videogame" project, I'm affraid that besides the hype, there won't be much left.

What about Shinning Force, Sega?? Soleil, Story of Thor?? Phantasy Star IV?

Give me something from Skies Of Arcadia and Outrun and I'm good.

Absolutely bring back Shining Force - and by that I mean turn-based tactics, rather than everything else Sega has done with the Shining brand. Fire Emblem has shown modern audiences will still buy such games, but Intelligent Systems has kind of been allowed to have that space to itself with high production values, bar the odd Triangle Strategy.

Other than that, Phantasy Star, obviously - but I don’t know what it would look like today. A 2D effort wouldn’t get any sales and a JRPG Starfield is beyond Sega. Think the best Sega could do with it would be something like the latest Star Ocean game (not the remake), which is a bit mid tier.

As for the IPs they’ve already announced, Shinobi rules.

Aside from Jet Grind Radio and Crazy Taxi, all I really want is a new Power Stone. Okay, maybe also PSO, Skies of Arcadia, and House of the Dead, but Power Stone is my #1 want. I'll even just take a port at the very least.

I’ve been shocked at how excited people are about this seeing its sega and they have a legacy of screwing stuff up for decades. I say this as someone who had a genesis over snes,game gear or game boy, got a saturn before PS1 & N64, and had a dreamcast.

I want:

• Virtua Fighter 6
• New Decap Attack / Psycho Fox
• New Shadow Dancer
• New Eternal Champions (or Eternal Champions 2 remake)
• New Clockwork Knight
• New Sega Rally
• New Outrun with splitscreen multiplayer (like Outrun 2 on Xbox)

@GregamanX Power Stone is a Capcom marty.

Seen some people mention ToeJam and Earl. It is not a Sega franchise anymore. Games one to three they do have rights to, but they were not involved with Back in The Groove. The characters are owned by Greg Johnson (Co-creator) again and was made through his own company. A 5th game is being developed at the moment though!

This said......Can we please have TJ and Earl 3 in some form, Sega. I oddly love it.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg 2

I'm assuming these are just FMV mockups of the "reimagining" as opposed to actual in game? Or am I being too cynical?

They also (Shinobi aside) look a bit too much for Switch?

Like so many others ... Skies of Arcadia please!

And I'm also guilty of forgetting that Powerstone/Powerstone 2 were Capcom. I'd always in my mind thought of them as SEGA.

I’m afraid all these games will come to apple arcade only, just like the recent sonic did.

Shinobi looks absolutely incredible art style wise so that's the one I picked. I'm looking forward to all of them though. Sega really has become my primary publisher I buy games from lately with how great Sonic, Like A Dragon, and Atlus have been so this announcement just adds to the pile.

Virtua Fighter 6 though is the golden goose for me. Please Sega make it happen!

@X68000 That won't work, yes it'll be cool to see a new Sega console with new exclusive games but it'll be a more expensive endeavor for Sega to even try. They'll be risking money with hardware, software, and accessories again not to mention without a clear indication of innovation different from the competitors Sega would be down for the count before they even began. Having these reimagined classics made for the new generations through the big 3 is a much safer more profitable goal for them now.

Time for OutRun 3 I'd say, I'd be happy to just see 2 licensed once more as it's one of the best arcade racers I've played. Not sure about the 3D approach to Streets of Rage and Golden Axe, but will be cautiously optimistic for now.

Really I think they should put out some good retro arcade collections and some Model 3 arcade ports. It's so strange they've put Daytona USA 2 in the new Like a Dragon Gaiden game, rather than also just selling it as a proper arcade port.

@infernogott Oh yeah! Of course! You're so right. Argh, I completely forgot about that. I associated it so heavily with the Dreamcast that I thought it was Sega. Well, regardless of the Sega news, then I guess Capcom really needs to bring that one back 😅.

Would love a new Space Harrier.
And how about Outrun 3?

@Serpenterror I'm fully in agreement from a business perspective, however from the old school SEGA fan inside, I'd love nothing more than a niche console with beautifully packaged, exclusive games sold at a premium price. Think along the lines of a scaled up evercade system.

They don't need to compete with the big 3 in order to turn a profit.

There is still hope for new Comix Zone

I hope this works out.
I the past, Sega games were mostly despised and ended up being bargains in the store shelfs.
The last tries to bring back games like Shinobi, Altered Beast or else, we're absolutely successles.
I'm absolutely looking forward to these games, as I'm a big Sega fan.
But I also fear, this could be the last time, these franchises will return.
Especially in times with subscriptions everywhere and stingy people.

I just hope they go all in. I don’t want to see poor quality switch releases just make the games for the newer consoles and pc and port to the next switch if it’s not going to run well. I’m so hyped for this though omg! Sega makes the most fun games!

@Nintendo4Sonic yes people want everything for nawt these days!

I'm glad to hear they found a way to finally develop their games and their concepts. It's really surprising though, and on top of how long it's taken, how did they finally do it?

This does look great though and is a nice surprise. The games also look good so far. Looking forward to hearing what other series they plan to bring back out.

In addition to the list above I’d love to see Phantasy Star, Skies of Arcadia, and Panzer Dragoon return, if they’re worthy of their forebears. I’d welcome an effort like the SEGA AGES 2500 series of games Sega of Japan published for the PS2 years ago, or, more recently, what Atari has been doing with their “Recharged” legacy titles on current consoles.

I wish Sega plenty of success with the effort, as they have neglected so many of their classic IP’s in recent years. It’ll be great to see them revived!

And here I thought Jet Set Radio would've been lost to time. I'm glad to see I was wrong. This was a long time coming, but it was definitely worth the wait. Here's hoping the new Jet Set Radio does incredibly!

@Baler I agree with you there. There's no reason at this point fort them to take the Disney route and only do the bare minimum.

@somnambulance Don't make them bite off more than they can chew, now. They're only human.

@Steel76 Come on. You're asking for too much at this point. At least the likes of Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi are cult classics.

Maybe a new Vector Man game might happen someday after all.

I really,really,really hope the "and more" includes NiGHTS Into Dreams.

New Virtua Fighter & new (non-PS Online related) Phantasy Star please.

@LuznoLindo
Outrun and Space Harrier are also classics, just as much as Golden Axe etc.
Unless you where too young, or not born yet, during the 80:s, to not know how huge those titles are.

I'm just glad JSR is coming back. Maybe Bombrush Cyberfunk gave them the kick in the ass they needed to take everyone's money. I'd even be happy with just a remake/bundle of the original JSR and Future.

As far as future projects go dream games are a Panzer Dragoon Saga remake and/or a proper single-player Phantasy Star V.

This is great news.

revive phantasy star..

Very excited for Golden Axe, Jet Set, Shinobi, and Crazy Taxi!

Would really love Skies of Arcadia to come back in a bit way, and definitely I've got room for more Gunstar Heroes. And 7th Dragon, which hasn't been as MIA.

If Sega is truly serious about this (and that's a big "if" given how we've seen 2 to 3 Sonic announcements per year lately while most of the rest of their IPs haven't been touched in 2 to 3 DECADES), then here's my personal list of franchises and compilations I hope to see:

1) Shining Force Even a remaster of the EPIC SF III would finally address the blatant injustice Sega did to Western gamers by only giving us the first of its three interlocking Scenarios, leaving us with one-third of one of the best storyline in any SRPG.

2) Skies of Arcadia

3) Dragon Force

4) A comprehensive collection of Sega's Arcade coin-ops from the early 1980s through the Model 2 and 3 eras.

5) LandStalker

6) Panzer Dragoon Saga (the entire North American market only got 3000 copies of one of the most ambitious RPGs of its era.

7) Phantasy Star (offline, Algol system, turn-based, story-driven)

8) Valkyria Chronicles We haven't waited nearly as long since VC 4 as others here, but it's still one of the greatest and most lore-rich tactical SRPG series ever made.

Sega has such an amazing back catalog of series they could do I'm down for almost anything, but of the ones announced I'm most excited for Jet Set and Shinobi. They both seem to be the most stylish and far along and have so much potential. Jet Set does still seem early but if they get the movement perfect this time mixed with the level design, it's easily going to be the best of the trilogy. Shinobi already looks fantastic, which is nothing new for LizardCube who seems to be making it, and just has such a great style. I lived the part with Joe Musashi riding the dog along-side the huge titan. Absolutely breathtaking

a legit new virtua fighter
virtua cop
feed me, sega

More Valkyria Chronicles (and an official English release of VC III), please!

The announcement and teaser was a nice surprise. Shinobi is what appealed to me most from the batch. I enjoyed Crazy Taxi back in the day, but it didn't have staying power for me, though I'd consider a new one after seeing how it turns out. I didn't see enough of Golden Axe or Streets of Rage to feel excited and I'm not sure about the visual styles, but I'll see how things turn out. I do like that they are at least trying to revive Golden Axe again and possibly right the past wrongs there.

A single-player Phantasy Star 5 might be nice, though I'm concerned it won't have the magic the fourth game had for me. They could do a Fighters Megamix 2. More Panzer Dragoon would be nice, though that also leads to my other point that it would be nice to have modern releases of older games. It would be cool to have all the Panzer Dragoon games, in one form or another, on modern platforms especially PC. Same thing for Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder. And I'd love to see Daytona 2/Sega Racing Classic 2 get a standalone release.

Also, more Virtual On, please!!!

@LikelySatan I’ve played SoR2 on NSO but I haven’t played the 4th yet. I really should get on that though.

I need a new classic Phantasy Star!

Other than that, I'm curious to see what Sega could do with a new Quartet or Gain Ground, though not many are probably familiar with those.

@GraniteFraggle Trailers look in game to me

I personally would love a brand new mainstay Shining Force. Bring back the tactical game ♡♡

Phantasy Star and Shining Force please.

I'm all for more Golden Axe game.

Good on Sega. We need more of their old good games back.

Virtua Tennis 5 is needed more than anything else. We haven’t had a good tennis game since Top Spin 4 and Virtua Tennis 4 back in the 360/PS3 era.

Golden axe could be amazing if done properly.

Personally Virtua racing, Outrun, Sega rally, Scud race, Daytona USA, Star wars arcade, Super Hang on, Galaxy force, Thunderblade, need reboots.

Bring back Altered Beast you cowards!!!

...kidding. It was a game that worked in its time but probably has past. Golden Axe may fit that bill tòo...

Skies of Arcadia is at the top of my list. A port, a remake.. just something to resuscitate this game.

Sega rally and Daytona USA for me!

the last time I was so excited for sega was during the dreamcast era.

If they reboot Phantasy Star online properly I would buy any console to play it. And I mean not that Phantasy Star Universe nonsense, that went in the completely wrong direction

@ibookboyuk , Crazy Taxi was one of my favorites from the Nintendo GameCube, I’m so excited to play again soon, I’ve also played the arcade version , I can’t wait to play it on the Nintendo Switch 😁😁😁🤩🤩🤩

Nights, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star, Panzer Dragoon, Outrun, Burning Rangers, Shining Force, and this is only beginning to scratch the surface. They could go deeper… there was supposed to be a 3D Vectorman in the Dreamcast era, what if they bring that back? There are so many exciting possibilities!

New Congo Bongo make it like Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Would be awesome.

Love it….so pleased to see back! Will buy them all

I was very excited about this little sizzle reel, but I also have a healthy dose of skepticism and questions. My major question is: who are developing these games? I don't think Sega has the internal teams to handle this many games in house, in addition to new Like a Dragon and Sonic titles which are undoubtedly in development. I'm not opposed to them partnering (SoR4 was a miracle), I'm just curious.

@Pigeon "Ugly" You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. 🤭

I'd like to see a return to the classic JRPG roots for Phantasy Star.

@JPF997 I've supported previous (outsourced) Sega remakes like Panzer Dragoon and House of the Dead, and I'm looking forward to these as well, although not with the same enthusiasm I have for their RPGs, which I consider every bit on par with...in some ways better than...their counterparts from Square Enix and Nintendo (Fire Emblem).

Of course everything is going to come down to the quality and how true each game stays to the spirits of the originals. Many of the people responsible for so many of Sega's all-time greatest games are long gone from the company now, which no doubt is why even Sonic fans tend to complain about uneven quality anymore. They have a LOT to prove and a lot of damaged goodwill with some of their old school fans to restore. They aren't going to accomplish that with a bunch of middling games with classic titles slapped on them; they need to show the same love, creativity, variety, and passion that Sega was known for during their heyday.

But yes, I plan to give them a fair chance and vote with my wallet. I may be vocal with my criticisms and requests, but when given an opportunity I do put my money where my mouth is.

@Thomystic
About great 3d beat'em ups, i think the Dynamite Deka series is very good, people generally seem to love the first one that was released as Die Hard Arcade in western countries.
Sega really should have made that game Steets of Rage 4 and the sequel SoR 5 (with some changes to the characters and settng of course).

Sega's SpikeOut and SlashOut series also feel a lot like good spiritual successors to SoR and Golden Axe.

Also, there's Yakuza's combat.

They've got to release a new console. Cheap chipset, no physical games, whatever it takes. Something much cheaper than competitors. They get a cut of every third party game sold, just like Nintendo does.

i want to see skies of arcadia get a full blown hd remaster.

@Steel76 they made a new space harrier title in 2000 exclusively for the arcade called Planet Harriers. That would be a great title to release for the home.

I’m shocked to not see Shinobi higher up. Shinobi 3 is one of the best side scrollers ever. Would love to see a 4th entry done in the style of 3. Like how they made Sonic Mania: pixel graphics, 16 bit sound, etc…

Didn’t realize we had actual footage of the games in that trailer above! I actually am digging the style they went with for Shinobi. Not what I’d have asked for but it looks fitting that’s for sure.

I wonder if someone’ll revive Comix Zone someday?

Harkens back to the time when I'd trade my SNES for my friends Megadrive for a week or two and play each others games; this is how Shinobi and Golden Axe became staples of my youth, so it is a great thrill to potentially have more.

But Crazy Taxi is definitely tempting as well.

I wasn't playing videogames at the time Jet Set Radio came on so, i would go with Golden Axe (Shinobi looks sick too)

Shenmue IV confirmed

Sword of Vermilion could use a new game

So awesome to finally see Sega realize the incredible dormant IP they’re sitting on. Remasters, remakes, or full on new entries for Phantasy Star and Shining Force are my dream.

honestly, Jet Set Radio got my heart pumping, I’m looking forward to all the games. Streets of Rage 4 was excellent so this should be part 5 or a re-imagining of the franchise.

Shinobi reminds me of Shinobi III but can Shadow Dancer get some love? Maybe a re-imagining of Altered Beast with greater Greek overtures than the original to give more immersion?

Thr screaming Sega at the end? That brought a tear to the young kid in my old heart. Gonna have to pull out the old Genesis and play some of the old games now.

i get that this is a hot-button topic with yall, but can we please wait to judge the output when its actually been put out? Im all about being critical of games, but give them a second to actually show the stuff. Come on, this is an initiative wed all be praising if it was a nintendo announcement. Yeah, sega has a pretty mixed track record. But by god, would it kill to have an ounce of positivity?

A new Crazy Taxi with an even bigger world to drive in would be, well, crazy. In a good way.

Wouldn't it be "Crazy Uber" now?

...I'll let myself out.

@Lostdragon may I suggest Vernal Edge? It's like SoA was made by Treasure. Obscenely overlooked. It has a PS1 style overworld map, where you pilot your airship from island to island...but on those islands it plays like Odin Sphere, in big metroidvania maps.

After being burned with Dreamcast, and looking past my nostalgia, I don’t see Sega as anymore than a junk dealer.

Their best game? My opinion is Streets of Rage 2. Just my opinion.

After Genesis/Sega CD, the aura of their later games seemed angry. Almost rude.

Gimme Pulseman. All I have to say.

@X68000 The Evercade-like idea is the first thing that came to mind for me as well. I would love a new portable Sega thing. Even at say GBA power levels. I'd die. But portables have always been my thing.

@Ruler-Of-All-Evil Yussssss! From the Gravity Circuit folks or Tribute. Or Joymasher...

@Andee9001 The GBA one is phenomenal.

Mine as well. Great for us old people! I happily recognized all 5 of the games.

But if any of the trailers revealed throughout the show, showed us anything, it showed that Nintendo really do need to up their game, hardware wise.

Yeah, the Switch has done well with Nintendo published games and indies. But as has been highlighted by others, now even new indie games are starting to chug on Switch...

@ChromaticDracula The last 2D Shinobi I know was Legions on Saturn. But all I remember from watching videos was that the plot was insane.
But maybe it was telling of the quality that Sega didn't even want to publish it in the US, letting Vic Tokai have it.

as long as they are high budget quality games I am happy
PS2 Altered Beat and Golden Axe were a disaster...

I would love to have:

• a simple HD port of Skies of Arcadia
• a VR monkeyball
• Phantasy Star 5. Not an online game... a real AAA JRPG

House of the dead was not very good... Panzer Dragon remake was eventually interesting but launched broken.
Sega at the moment is making solid Yakuza games and some fillers. They really need to change pace

@Rainbowfire Don't you dare go anywhere, Sir! Please stay on stage and finish your set.

Very excited for all of these announcements, at least a few should turn out great.
But I realize the shown footage is 'early development' and these games might not come out for a couple more years.
The change from 2D to 3D with SOR and Golden Axe has me a little skeptical, however.

at this point I would more than happily take Shenmue 1 & 2 on carts. no bells and whistles. seems mad that this hasn't happened yet

@ChromaticDracula same. Shinobi 3 still even LOOKS amazing. The Genesis was something special in the right hands.

Panzer Dragoon!

Sega, please.

I would love to see the art direction on Golden Axe kick it up a notch. Looks very 2012 as is.

I'm all ways ready for some more Streets of rage 😊
But will be great to see golden axe crazy taxi and shinobi 😁

Phantasy Star
Landstalker
Shining Force

Please!!!

Little iffy on the new Jet Set Radio's visuals not being quite as saturated as the previous games since I always thought that the super-saturated cel-shaded graphics were part of the series' identity but will reserve judgment since this is likely very early in development footage; however, I absolutely dig the hand-drawn art style Shinobi seems to be going for.

NiGHTS, Skies of Arcadia and traditional non-MMO Phantasy Star are definitely the series I'm hoping the most make a comeback. While NiGHTS is my personal favorite, Skies and Phantasy would make sense if Sega tossed either of them at Atlus; I mean, might as well make use of the RPG wizards you bought.

I’m still looking forward to Panzer Dragoon II Remake. They’ve been very quiet about it, and it was announced years ago.

People are going to think I’m joking but I would love to see a brand new, properly/well Ecco the Dolphin. I know it was a messy, buggy and unforgivingly hard as nails game but I loved it as a kid and I still revisit it on the NSO often. If they modernized the controls, mechanics and functionality…..if they dressed it up and had an incredible art design, musical score and an incredible story, it could be a mascot gaming contender.

I loved Ecco. Give us an Ecco the modern gamer deserves!

Same for a new (for real this time) NIGHTS, Toe Jam & Earl, Altered Beast, Vector Man and Panzer Dragoon.

Oooh! And remakes of Wonder Boy in Monster World, Shenmu and Phantasy Star IV would be righteous!

I would really like a new Eternal Champions. That is all.

Renew the Daytona license, re-release the old titles in enhanced form, then bring in Eric Martin to inject more 80s Hair into the theme song for a Brand New Daytona title!!

@KingMike TIL there was a Shinobi for Saturn! I never owned a Saturn even though I used to love playing the demo system at the local store when it was there. Never knew this existed…
I just watched some gameplay footage and it appears to me to be a step back from 3. It looks slower paced and I really don’t dig that Mortal Kombat style character style. I get what they were probably trying to do to showcase the system’s power but still…
Thankfully the new one looks at least a bit quicker and more ninja-like.

I have a feeling that another project we are getting is a new Virtua Fighter. But I am most hyped for Shinobi and Streets of Rage personally

Gotta be Crazy Taxi for me. Closer I can get to recreating that fast paced Burnout 3 feel, the better. But looking at this poll right now, no option is below 10%. I think that's really impressive, lots of interest for all sorts of games.

It's today's SEGA so I'm not that excited. I really hope the new Golden Axe won't be atrocious.

You mean like their Sega Forever lineup that didn't last 6 years before mass delistings and halted releases a couple months after the debut? Sure, bring 'em on.

Shining Force, Phantasy Star, Skies of Arcadia.

ThunderForce VII, please (since they own the IP now).

I would like a new Shining Force (in the vein of the original Camelot games), HD remakes of Phantasy Star games kinda like SquareEnix has been doing.

I know that they cancelled a Shining Force game a year or two ago, and despite being a cell-phone game, it was looking REALLY good.

I will take what I can get, though. I really like the announcements they just made. I'm especially stoked for Golden Axe.

@Dragnoran That was one of my favorite Wii games as a kid, really underrated. Id take just a straight port tbh.

I hope we get another Chu Chu Rocket and Sega Swirl. Also another Outrun would be awesome.

@Pigeon "Ugly" You still keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. 🤔

@burninmylight Blame MS for that, not Sega. MS wanted something for that holiday and shoved Sega's face into the grime to get it out by that season.

@KingMike To quote a person on a forum I was on the other night: "NIGHTS is lizuka's baby, so I truly do think will see a new one before he retires from game dev. Maybe it'll be his ultimate magnum opus!"

@HeftyLaces transformed was way better, and its on steam, I'd rather a sequel, we got team sonic racing instead which wasn't great and sumo digital went to tencent as a result

We need Shining Force IV and an English remaster of the Shining Force III Trilogy. Enough is enough.
