quote KotakuOMFG YES PLZ SEGA.Is Sega dipping into the well of Dreamcast franchises again? That's what we heard from friendlier folks at Comic-Con last week, specifically that the publisher was planning on bringing back one of its more beloved franchises, Jet Grind Radio. After outings on the Dreamcast and Xbox, we haven't seen anything of the futuristic inline-skater since 2003's Jet Set Radio for the Game Boy Advance.
We were overly excited to hear a rumor that Sega was planning on reintroducing the series, this time on the Wii.
Sure, that may conjure up less than appealing Wii Remote waggling during tagging and inline skate attachments, but we'd be thrilled to take whatever we can get. Just give us cel-shaded graphics, an awesome soundtrack and Wii MotionPlus support, Sega, and we'll love you forever.
Sega's recently filed trademark, dated July 24, 2008 and separate from the original, Dreamcast era trademark, certainly has us thinking that a Jet Grind Radio update is more likely.
In addition to the typical "video game software" goods and services applied for, the new trademark adds things like "downloadable game programs", "game programs for use with mobile phones", and "game programs for use with hand-held game machines."
Hopefully that translates to a broader scope than just the Wii.
After all, Sega president Simon Jeffery did say that the iPhone, not the Wii or Xbox 360, was the new Dreamcast.

I would love to see them continue the franchise. I don't care which console it appears on, although I would expect that Sega would probably release this as a 360/PS3 game rather than a Wii game. I don't mind at all, I'd get it either way.
This reminds me. Lately, I've been tempted to play through JSR and Shenmue II again. Sega should really consider reviving both franchises.

I've never even heard of it before, but I think I may have seen videos about something that sounded like this series.

I loved JGR. The sleeper hit of the Dreamcast, I called it.
This sounds awesome.
