Since Sega officially announced its long-awaited Jet Set Radio re-release sans trailer, here’s your first look at the Dreamcast classic back in action.
Last week’s teaser is now this week’s confirmation. Sega will be releasing a revamped HD version of Dreamcast favourite Jet Set Radio for digital download on an as-yet-unspecified date this (northern) summer, on XBox Live, PlayStation Network and PC.
The House of Sonic’s dropped a vague but drip-filled teaser that strongly suggests that the beloved inline-skating, graffiti-tagging Jet Set Radio game will be hitting modern consoles soon.
Designer Thomas “Akutou” Pereira likes him some video game ladies. And some vector art. Combine the two and, yes, you see where this is going.
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.
