For more information on Jet Set Radio, please visit www.sega.com. Sorry but: f*** yeah!!! I'm a great fan of both the xbox and dreamcast game, this is the biggest news for me in a while
Very cool - I'd be happy to play through the original again, my only wish is that they incorporate the auto-grab from the XBOX version... Time to go dig out the soundtrack.
Oh my... Given the reverence that so many gamers have for this big little title I imagine there will be quite a few excited over this announcement, myself included. Thanks for posting that tidbit! Begin typical touch interface input reliability squabbles now... Only kidding. Sega has really stepped it up, ChuChu Rocket and Block People were really well done, in my opinion. Let's hope that they treat this as nicely.
Oh YEAH! Can't wait for this oldie but goodie! Any idea when it'll be released? Also, SEGA, what happened to Sega Bass Fishing you promised a while back! Been very patient considering how I'm looking forward to THAT one!! Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!
JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOOOOO! So jacked on this! Now if they will just put out Space Channel 5, and Power Stone (with multiplayer) Long live the Dreamcast! <3
Oh awesome! I really loved Jet Set Radio when I was younger and had the original Xbox. Can't wait to play Jet Set Radio again after so many years, like 5 years!!
"The Vita version, which was due to launch tomorrow as a downloadable title, has now been pushed back to an unspecified date “due to necessary development optimizations”." http://www.gamerzines.com/playstation/radio-delayed-indefinitely.html I wonder what that means for the IOS version... And with that sort of news: http://www.pocketgamer.biz/r/PG.Biz/Sega+news/news.asp?c=45353 The vita seems to be in a really bad position now.
Crosses fingers in vain hope that any delays for vita don't affect iOS. This is one of the greatest arcade games of all time.
I was so looking forward to replaying this game on the Vita today and woke up to the disappointing news. It would have been great to have been able to play 2 Sega classics in such a short time (Crazy Taxi last week). Oh well.
I think it actually does ,i think there's a problem optimizing it for mobile period especially the touchscreen side of things
Hmm, was looking forward to this a lot on iOS, but the lack of firm news is worrying, especially in light of the Vita announcement. I also see that Virtua Fighter 2 and Fighting Vipers have been rated for XBLA, hinting at a future release. Bring the definitive version of VF2 to the iPad, SEGA ... and then get rid of that God awful MegaDrive port that's on the App Store. Two of my favourite Saturn brawlers, along with Fighters Megamix.
Jet set radio HD is coming next thursday to the Playstation Vita http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/11/13/playstation-plus-for-ps-vita-available-next-week-take-the-tour/ I wonder when we'll see the IOS version...
After playing the re-release on xbla I don't care any more, it's not as good as I remember it being. I remember spending days playing it on the dreamcast but somehow for me anyway the gameplay doesn't stand te test of time.
I've only played Jet Set Radio Future, but if the gameplay is similar I'm excited to see the original come to mobile.
