Is Sega dipping into the well of Dreamcast franchises again? That’s what we heard from friendlier folks at Comic-Con last week, specifically that the publisher was planning on bringing back one of its more beloved franchises, Jet Grind Radio. After outings on the Dreamcast and Xbox, we haven’t seen anything of the futuristic inline-skater since 2003′s Jet Set Radio for the Game Boy Advance.
We were overly excited to hear a rumour that Sega was planning on reintroducing the series, this time on the Wii.
Sure, that may conjure up less than appealing Wii Remote waggling during tagging and inline skate attachments, but we’d be thrilled to take whatever we can get. Just give us cel-shaded graphics, an awesome soundtrack and Wii MotionPlus support, Sega, and we’ll love you forever.
And no, not because it raises the prospect of a Wii port of Mark Ecko’s Getting up. It’s because, when I look at this excellent, home-made modification – crafted by German uni student Martin Lihs – that sees a can of spray paint turned into a fully-functioning Wii Remote, I think of a Wii version of Jet Set Radio (with 1:1 tagging), then I get a little giddy, then I get a little dizzy, then I need to go sit down for a bit.
