I was hoping for more Sonic, but I really can’t complain, this is a lot of content.

After the Superstars flopped because of a very unwise Sega decision, it probably did not come out for a while until the Frontiers team cooks something to live up.

Wow. A 3D Golden Axe certainly is something...

Honestly, I didn't expect Sega still has this much talent for developers. It looks really cool though.

I have no attachment to the game but the new graphics for Jet Set Radio look worse than the original, should've looked more like Rollerdome and less like. . . greased up whatever.

Shinobi is the one I like the look of the most. I will have to see more of Jet Set Radio to decide, I liked the original, but had a lot of issues with the way it controlled. I preferred the more blocky look of the older Crazy Taxi games, but I guess that can't be helped. Streets of Rage, I haven't cared about since 2. Golden Axe has way too little footage to make a proper judgement on.

That little teaser of more games is interesting. I imagine there's a new Space Channel 5 game coming, it'd be nice if they did a proper Phantasy Star JRPG, and heck, how about a new console Shin Megami Tensei game (that isn't Persona, but if they want to remake the pre-Persona 3 games with modern interfaces and graphics I'd buy them.)

There was already a 3D Golden Axe game for the 360/PS3, though it wasn't very well received. In fact, SEGA tried to revive some of their game franchises in 3D back in the 128-bit era, they did it with games such as Rent-a-Hero, ToeJam & Earl, Altered Beast, Shinobi, OutRun, among others, but they weren't as successful as their classic versions, that's why I'm trying to keep my expectations low with this announcement, and it's not like I want to act like a contrarian, like many others, I'd like SEGA to bring back several of their classic game franchises, but I'm aware that developing games today is more difficult and for some game series that haven't had a game in years, it's going to be difficult to find a way to capture the attention of a new audience.
I just hope that SEGA can make new entries for series such as Virtua Fighter and OutRun.

Tired of SMTV already?

Heck the rest of us are still waiting for a port.
