SEGA of Japan has launched a survey where they ask fans several questions. In particular, they want to know what you think is SEGA’s “Most memorable work”, the most memorable character and which SEGA creation they would like to see revived (it needs to be product that hasn’t received a new release since January 2014. Not that this work doesn’t necessarily have to be a game franchise, basically anything SEGA created is valid. Some of the choices in the first two questions do appear somewhat random (for example, Erica Fontaine is the only Sakura Wars character listed there). While the survey is in Japanese, this guide by Phantom River Stone offers an English translation of the poll.
Whether or not those outside of Japan should fill in the survey is a good question. given that it may skew the results of a survey aimed strictly at a Japanese audience. But I imagine that SEGA will be aware that there’s interest from overseas and monitor which entries originate from outside of Japan, making it possible for them to interpret the results correctly. SEGA will reveal the results of the poll during a NicoNico SEGA live stream on Sunday November 20th at 6am JST.
Which franchise would you like to see revived? Let us know in the comments!
Expecting they will finally announce that mobile game with tons of characters, having hope for an actual game revival feels useless nowadays lol
Jet Set Radio
Shinobi and Jet Set Radio.
Psycho fox
I have to admit that I didn’t know this game. Does SEGA actually own the IP?
Non-Online Phantasy Star.
Shenmue 1 and 2 Remasters please .
And Skies of Arcadia !!!!!!
Personally, I asked for Panzer Dragoon Orta on PlayStation VR. My second choice would have been Sakura Wars, but Panzer Dragoon is a franchise I’ve followed for a long time. After experiencing Rez in VR, I think playing Orta in VR would be amazing.
