SEGA Europe Promises PC Releases For Upcoming Games, More News Soon
Jurgen Post, COO of Sega of Europe. recently took part in an interview in regards to SEGA’s plans with the PC platform. Although the interview didn’t reveal much, one question in particular raises some eyebrows:
RPS: You have a lot of IPs, of course, some of which we haven’t seen for a long time.
Post: We have different initiatives around the older Sega IPs. The Mega Drive Collection is one of those, for the people who want to play retro games. But then we have games like Shenmue, which was pretty much at the top of every list of titles that people wanted to see revived. We have more though and we’re constantly looking at them.
We have some great IPs coming out next year and we’ll have announcements toward the end of this year about some of those. New versions of old games.

sega revives old series oh YEAHHHHHHHH but i still think sonic will be the star of 2017
With Sonic Mania and Shenmue 3, I definitely think Sega’s on the way to a revival of some sort. Hoping one of those is Monkey Ball.
Also, hoping there will be some new Mania news at PAX next week.
Fighting Vipers/Virtua Fighter plz.
Either localize FV2 already or announce something new for Virtua Fighter
Phantasy Star offline and Shining Force back in the US, s’all I’m saying. XD
Virtual-On! Boarder Break? Phantasy Star Online! Virtua Cop? Vector Man! Ristar?
Neat! Seems like Sega’s making good on that promise to try to please the fans! Hope this is just a first step and not just the big plan.
Atsushi Inaba, one of the guys over at Platinum Games, did tease something Vanquish getting a PC release recently. Make of that what you will.

Now I can have a slight hope for JSRF, Vanquish & Sonic Unleashed.
Something news with the Streets of Rage IP please!
Project Diva please
Bring back Jet Set Radio and I will forgive everything.
Even sanic bum.
Bring over the Yakuza series and Platinum Games titles like Vanquish and Bayonetta, and I will be satisfied.
New versions of old games eh? It would be nice to see old titles like Crazy Taxi, Alex Kidd, and Jet Set Radio get some new love, it’d be a great incentive for me to dig deeper into Sega’s legacy.
Nobody wants NiGHTS?
Or Ristar? 😕
Come on, having a new NiGHTS or Ristar game would be amazing!! (Even though NiGHTS got a PS3/PC port back in 2012 or so…It’d be cool to get a NiGHTS 3 or something)
I’d be totally on board with a new NiGHTS as well. Idk what everyone’s about this Vanquish, I’d much rather have classic SEGA IPs come back more than anything else. Granted I’d love to see more Bayonetta, but where’s the love for all these series that were created from all of the 90’s just to be ignored now?
Hell, new Fighters Megamix, that’s what we need. Not Sonic and Some Other Characters that may or not be SEGA characters but are “All-Stars” by Sumo Digitall. An ACTUAL crossover game, preferably by the guys at AM2. SEGA’s been doing crossover fighters before Smash ever came to be.
Fighters Megamix – 1996
Smash Bros on N64 – 1999
Considering Atlus is a subsidiary of SEGA these days, any chance we’ll see a pc port of the persona games? 😮
Please let one of them be Sonic Unleashed…. PLEASE LET ONE OF THEM BE SONIC UNLEASHED!!!! 🙂
I honestly don’t mind which they do, but I hope one of them are either Unleashed or Super Monkey Balls (preferably 1 & 2)
