Sega Revives Cult Classics and Brings Nostalgia to Modern Consoles
Hey there, fellow gamers! Brace yourselves because Sega just dropped some major news at The Game Awards 2023. They didn’t just announce one game, they announced five! That’s right, they are finally reviving some of their greatest cult classic games and series for modern consoles. Can I get a “SEGA!”?
A Blast from the Past
Get ready to hop back on the nostalgia train because Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and more are making a comeback. The trailer snippets of gameplay have got me pumped! While it’s not entirely clear if Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi will be remakes or new games, those stages certainly look familiar. Sega hasn’t given us all the details just yet, but the excitement is building.
According to Shuji Utsumi, Co-COO of Sega Corporation and CEO of Sega of America, they’re taking a page out of Sonic the Hedgehog’s book. Sonic has brought the franchise to new heights, captivating both old and new audiences. Now, Sega is digging into their legacy and reimagining several franchises to bring these games to a global audience. Utsumi states, “First and foremost, our ambition will be to create great games with memorable characters and worlds.” We can’t wait to see what they have in store!
