Now now Cloud... remember you regions !

its

u guyz r m33n!!1 :o

I personally look foward to seeing an arcade perfect port of Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram on the Xbox... With online play, like the Japanese DC import.

SEGA announced that they\'ll make some old remakes for PS2 aswell.

They didnt announce any titles, they said they would be revealed at E3.
By Sonys request I reckon.. Sony likes to shoot their guns at E3.

This is a wonderful decisoin IMO. All of Sega\'s releases on PC have sold out within weeks - granted they didn\'t publish in (relatively) great numbers. People are still interested in their classic titles. The only way they can expereince them now are through these new systems.

This move has my official seal of approval/guarantted success. Go Sega.

ugh, sega is overtaking EA and Midway as the console industry wh0re

I have no interest in most of Sega\'s old software titles, but I would love a perfect version of Virtual On, Daytona, Panzer Saga, and a few more.

What are you kidding me?

I think this is great for all those anti-SEGA-fools who hated SEGA back in the day and missed out on their great games. Now if the remakes are truly well-made remakes, then this is great. I don\'t want a straight port of 3+ year old games.

Panzer, Dragon Force, Nights, Shining Force,. the possibilities..

what up with recent remakes, rehash?

lost your innovation sega?

Seems sega has gone down the drain a bit since it dropped the DC I mean both JGRF and GV bombed, SA2 on GC is rehash and segas ps2 games totally suck (headhunter the mgs2 killer blows balls IMO)

The only good thing I have seen from sega lately was the amazing Rez game, which deserves a place in the gallery of best game sever made IMO

You\'re right, dm...

Its not just for the anti-Sega crowd but for the fans, too.

People who couldn\'t get a copy of Panzer Saga or Shining Force 3 (1-3)...
