Of course, it's another news/thread about a possible Shenmue, then it will finish with something like Chu Chu Rocket or Samba di Amigo.

I'd just like to say that if there's a Shenmue 3, it's nearly impossible that it could be handle by SEGA America.

Hard to imagine what this is, the slightly sad fact is a lot of Sega's old IPs wouldn't do that well as big budget propositions these days :/

Still quite exciting though, potentially anyway!

Given that it's Sega of America, maybe it's one of the Sega Technical Institute games? I don't know that any of those would be considered amongst "Sega's most beloved IPS", though.

Even so, a new Comix Zone would have the potential to be pretty awesome.

"Sega's most beloved IP"

Beloved by the fans or by Sega? Because those are two different things. Jet Set Radio is beloved by the fans, but does Sega really still give a fuck about that franchise? There are many others that I can question as well.

Maybe they hooked up with Bombergames and are going to offically release Streets of Rage Remake (with a few tweaks to get rid of the KOF stuff) for the best game of all time!

Those requirements for employment look too specific to be posted as a job opening.

I mean it'd be like posting a job opening for a commercial and asking that the person have been an NFL Quarterback for at least 5 years. I mean at that point wouldn't it be easier to just call up the few dozen people who qualify and ask?

They already have this, with Project Draco. Doubt they will re-imagine it again.

Maybe Golden Axe again since they messed it up badly last time. Streets of Rage but what else can you do apart from a beat-em-up?

Hopefully its Jet Set Radio!

Is Westone even around anymore? If there is no Westone it's not really a Wonder Boy game. (Come to think of it they designed the last Monster World game over 20 years ago.)

Eh, kinda. It certainly isn't thriving, but it is one of the first franchises they bring up whenever they're going to have a crossover game. In the latest one, Sega All-Stars Racing, Jet Set Radio managed to get 3 dedicated tracks.
