Sega Characters: The Return

Although Team Sonic Racing is not apart of the "Allstars," Sonic isn't the only Sega character with a new game coming up. Surprisingly, some of his old friends have resurfaced...though no Ristar :(

Team Sonic Racing

Why is he driving a car? WHY NOT?

As mentioned, Sonic is staring in another cart-racing game. It will have team based-themes, a plot, and other unique features.

Toejam & Earl: Back into the Groove

ALIEN RAPPERS, just what this generation needs.

This game has been in the making for a long time, and it's finally coming together in 2019. Known for it's funky themes and comical plot, this new addition to the series promises to be just as "jammin'" as the original. 

Streets of Rage 4

It's back!...and wtf happened to Blaze's boobs...and what's with Axel's beard?  

Streets of Rage is back! This is one of my favorite Sega series, which follows Blaze and Axel (and other characters, like Adam, Max, Skate, and Zan) as they fight their way threw the stages to take on the corruption in their city. They're willing to risk everything...even their lives...on the...the Streets of Rage! Anyway, considering the last game was released back in 1994, this was an awesome, fresh surprise.

Space Channel 5--VR "Kinda Funky News Flash"

Up, Down, Chu, Chu! ...is she really saying "shoot, shoot?" I always heard "Chu, chu!" 

Although I've never played Space Channel 5 (--mostly because it's on the Dreamcast), I've always found it interesting. The main character, Ulala (pronounced like a quick oo-la-la), is a dancing reporter who uses her smooth moves to bring a halt to the alien invasion. It's also known for "Space Michael," a role by Michael Jackson. I've always thought that Space Channel 5 (/Sega) should pair with Just Dance (/Ubisoft). This would have combined SC5's unique plot and funky characters with JD's dance-along gameplay (and likely would have added something new to both series). Oh well. However, if done right, this new version of the game could really bring the series back. Set for a US release in 2019, it's made for the Playstation VR (virtual Reality).

Although none of the release dates are final, these are all supposedly coming out in 2019. Even though Sega can't exactly take credit for all of these (with other parties encouraging/developing), it will certainly draw some attention to the company. It's been along time since these games (minus Sonic), have gotten a chance to shine, and it's great that they have an opportunity to bring the series back. Welcome to the next level.
