Yeah Jet Set Radio seems entirely possible now that the insanely impossible NiGHTS is coming.

I think Wiimote enabled wall spraying and shaking nunchuk for can shakage would be snazztastic for sure.

Analogue stick on nunchuk for moving around, A for jump and gesture based tricks on rails and whatnot.

Center camera on Z or C, spray on B.

*sends instructions to Sega*

There we are.

I don't know--I would actually love to see Jet Set Radio appear on PS3/360 to be honest--but that's probably far less likely. I remember when the Dreamcast died, and how much I thought it sucked that Sega was getting out of the console game..but then I played Future and realized that, as sweet as the Dreamcast was..it never could have handled that game. Next came Panzer Dragoon Orta and then a nearly arcade perfect version of VF4. I was pretty convinced at that point that their decision would actually benefit their fans.

Now if they just develop all of their niche sorta titles on Wii, that sorta defeats the benefit of not being limited by your hardware--since the Wii is pretty limited by nature. I'm glad they have a healthy relationship with Nintendo, but they should spread the love around. If all the PS3/360 get are Sonic and VF, well that's a damn shame.

How about Wii gets a real Jet Set Radio 2 and Xbox/PS3 gets you know.. more of the same but prettier and bigger?

I mean none of it is gonna happen anyway so we can dream. :O

I think the urgency and the laughs from JSR were lost in Future.. Future was great but in a completely different way. I'd like JSR2 for Wii with all the chases and the heat, and the actual spray mechanics. JSRF wouldn't benefit from the Wiimote stuff anyway, while JSR would be so perfect a fit I've had wet dreams about it since I played Rayman.

I'd take JSR, Panzer Dragoon, and like ten other things before Shenmue 3 personally. And I probably will buy a Wii just for Nights.Well that's the thing Simon--I actually liked Future a lot. I would love to see what JSR would look like on the Xbox 360. It just sounds beautiful.

Yeah I believe we've talked about it before, and it's a Terminator type deal to me. T1 and 2 are both awesome and there's no "right" movie to like, it all comes down to what style you prefer. Thriller or action in that case.

I think the direction JSRF was taking - bigger scale, less intimate, more freedom, less *game* - would suit the powerful console thinking while JSR, which was always more technical and more of a proper *game* in its 'shaking the cops to buy time to do big graffitis' mechanics, would be great on the Wii.

Seriously, the gesture based graffiti spraying of JSR makes so much sense on the Wii it's weird that it hasn't been suggested a thousand times already. Having limited "spray power" and charging that by "shaking the can" with the nunchuk is just SO OBVIOUS to me.

Add competetive multiplayer with cops chasing you all over, an ability to draw your own graffitis in an in game editor (of course using the wiimote!) and you've got a game that should've been bleeding made by now. Or at least announced.

I'd like JSR to go to the 360. Panzer Dragoon and Chu chu rocket updates to the Wii.
Where I think the wiimote would help with the gameplay.

Starfox 64 has appeared on the VC apparently!

Bah, everyone knows that Chu Chu Rocket should have been one of the first XBLA games.That is lookin pretty sweet. One more reason to own a DS, and there are already dozens of others. I'm still not sure about the gameplay--100% stylus play for an action game? Hmm..

I know Team Ninja can make a badass console action game, I have no idea how they'll handle the DS though. I think a new 2D NG game for DS would have made a lot more sense..but I'm willing to accept change if it plays well.

While my earlier statements regarding controls obviously has me disagreeing with the JSR bit, both Panzer and Chu Chu would make excellent Wii games too.. it's just that I fear for the detonation of Grift's head. It's looking very flammable and highly explosive. :O

To be suuuuper truthful though, I thought Orta was a bit of a rape on a perfect trilogy story wise. It was ace seeing a PD that didn't neccessarily resemble polygons cracking open and dying, but it was such a perfect package to me and I'm very emotionally attached to the finality of Saga.

That said, the bird bit in Zelda definitely showed just how great PD Wii could be, and I definitely am open to the possibility.

Somehow the XBLA sort of killed the tiny retail star, but Wiimote Chu Chu would be superior to all too, of course. I'm just not sure how they'd be able to make a game worthy of boxed retail sale.. must truly STUFF it with content and WiiConnect24 functionalities.

I must be sounding awfully monotonous so I'm gonna throw a few Sega classics I DO want on PS3 and 360 in the mix. None of which will happen of course, but still. :)

Comix Zone is prolly my number one wish. Of course I could think of plenty of cool stuff you could do with the wiimote in this too.. like... play as the artist aswell and.. get to draw objects.. and... weapons with the wiimote.. DAMMIT!

Okay, not Comix Zone then. (but make it please Sega!)

Ecco The Dolphin.

Now we're talking! This can only be half as awe-inspiring as Defender of The Future on a powerhouse. The idea of an online Ecco was always completely retarded, because this is Sega's Metroid. Explore the ocean and later the awful post apocalyptic future as the dolphin with the sign on his.. fishhead. Encounter horrible beasts in the dark depths and tunnels, and experience the almost surreal with levels like "Hanging Waters". If you haven't played Defender of The Future it's prolly too late to be entirely wowed by it, but it's amazing, trust me. And difficult as fuck.

Virtua Cop

Weird huh? "But Wii is all pointy!". Yes that's true but it's not lightguny. The way the wiimote works means that it doesn't give you the sensation of actually aiming with the device itself, but rather controlling the reticle onscreen with relative movement. (One of the misconceptions about the Wii is that you'd have to actually AIM a lot - you don't.)

So yeah, a light gun device will always make my Virtua Cop, and the basics are so utterly basic here, and the roller coaster ride approach to the game means that there's little you can improve or change but the graphics. VC was always THE hardcore lightgun game, and a proper, dedicated home console version with branching paths and online leaderboards is the way to go with it.

Golden Axe

Yeah this is already coming. For the right consoles. Handled by an external team. Good job, carry on.


Shinobi/Nightshade

Fucking brilliant games and incredibly challenging. There was nothing wrong with them except perhaps accessibility, and they looked a bit naff even by PS2 standards. They played great, the Tate system was awesome, and there should be next gen versions of it by now.

Yakuza 3...4...5 6 7 8 9....

A total given, of course. Sega's most successful series since god knows how long back. Blu Ray enabled japanese audio for all of us, please, and do keep making these forever. I doubt I'll have enough of Kazama Kiryu for quite some time.

And others. I mean Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Tennis, Outrun, Daytona, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star (a real RPG effort please) Fighting Vipers, Vectorman, Altered Beast (try again, people). Stuff like that.


The likes of Burning Rangers and Gunvalkyrie wanted to be different even when they really couldn't quite be, and those games will find a willing audience and a brill environment on the Wii. Gunvalkyrie was originally meant to use a gamepad/lightgun combo on the dreamcast before moving to xbox, so what better place than the console that basically IS just that.

Online Mario Strikers Charged/Mario Smash Football Charged for may 24th! WOOO! :D

You're consistently insane! :P

Nights Confirmed Fall/Autumn 2007 :)
