SEGA is reviving five of its classic franchises, including Jet Set Radio



With The Game Awards announcing dozens of new games, SEGA stole the spotlight by announcing nearly a dozen games on their own. SEGA is bringing back some of its old, most beloved IPs, by revealing five new games. Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Crazy Taxi, and Streets of Rage are all getting brand-new games. SEGA calls this a new era for the company, with these games set to release over the next handful of years. Early gameplay can be seen within the trailers, with the Jet Set Radio gameplay looking quite similar to that old supposed SEGA leaked gameplay reel from years ago.

They've got their work cut out for them living up to the other Jet Set Radio-inspired games released recently, but almost all the others seem like safe bets to generate a lot of interest. Shinobi and Crazy Taxi are must-buys for me so long as the price is right.

Golden Axe was so much fun back in the day! a new game needs to be 2D / 2.5D and nothing like Golden Axe Beast Rider however.

Potentially interesting news, however given Sega's track record with Sonic I won't get excited just yet...

Been waiting a long time for Sega to do something with these IPs.
Especially something good as suppose to just a cheap effort.
Looks like they went all in with Golden Axe and JSR, Shinobi is looking artistic but different gameplay wise and streets of rage I hope stays true to the original mechanics rather than toss them out.
Hope they keep up this trend and revive some obscure IPs too like Alien Storm, Crackdown, Gain Ground, heck Afterburner Climax could use another port.
Crazy Taxi looks pretty good too though I hope it's not multiplayer only focused.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
