In reviving classic games, Sega channels its old bohemian spirit. The company is rebooting legacy titles including ‘Crazy Taxi,’ ‘Jet Set Radio,’ ‘Shinobi’ and ‘Streets of Rage’ (web.archive.org)

This is such a cash grab

And if it reboots Jet Set Radio Future and Crazy Taxi in an interesting way, I'm all for it.

Everyone seems to be super hyped up for them selling old games again

If somebody re-released all the Infocom games like Zork, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and Nord & Bert Couldn't Make Head Or Tail Of It, I would be all over that

See, I saw "Sega Channel" and got excited. God I miss that shit. Idk if anyone else even remembers or had it, but it was such a good way to be exposed to so many great games.

That's why Shinobi was removed from the Switch eShop (probably)! I was wondering why it wasn't for purchase anymore.

Sega jebaited us with sonic only to make the hardest drop of the decade

Streets of Rage 4 was very good, but I would like to see where they take it from here. A 3d game wouldn't be bad, as long as it's still side scrolling. I loved JSRF on Xbox and would love a new Jet Set game. This is all good news! Yeah it's pure nostalgia, but if the games are actually good why not support Sega?
