It's hard for me to be excited about this. The company that bought Sonic Adventure, Sonic 2006, and every other Sonic game since the Genesis is now being allowed to get their hands on other franchises.
Depending on how you feel about Sonic games, this is a nightmare or a fantasy.

You can go even further.
Chain Chronicle's localization was handled by some cowboys who severely mismanaged it and shut the western servers down after less than a year.

Because it didn't sell well.
Although it did get remastered if you count the gamecube version (which also didn't sell well)

The problem I guess is how do you make good modern versions of games like Streets of Rage and Golden Axe? I mean, it's not like they haven't tried and the results haven't been good.
Easy.
Streets of Rage: Battle Royale
Get dropped into a city filled with weapons and angry ruffians that'll battle down to the last man for a nice slice of big city pizza!
Golden Axe: Survival of the Fittest
Survive, Craft, Adventure in the world of Golden Axe
Panzer Dragoon Kart Racing
Ride your favorite dragoons in kart form around dozens of tracks that span land, sea and air!
Phantasy Star: Hunter
a futuristic fantasy game where you play as an assassin that comes in episodes each featuring a new science fiction inspired area to hunt down your target. Upgrade your equipment and buy information to help you track down and eliminate your targets.
Shining Force: ALIEN Defense!
Defend your planet from aliens using your mixed fantasy/magic while learning why the aliens are attacking! Every battle increases your abilities to fend of invaders! Research for new items including weapons, armor, abilities and more!
Jet Set/Grind Radio Splat!
Multiplayer game where two teams of a certain color paint the map with paint filled roller blades and defend areas with different musical equipment that shoot paint.

It'd be great if the Switch could have Dreamcast Virtual Console games.

Firstly they should hire folks who can do better PPT because holy shit, having 90's deja vu here.
I haven't played a Shining Force game and I'm not all clear on their development history, but those could work in today's environment right? All I know is most of the mare strategy RPGs. SEGA would even have a couple options on where to take it.
It could have either Overworks (or whatever the Valkyria team is called now) or Creative Assembly work on it. For Switch and/or PC respectively.

To further add to this, the Global version of Hortensia Saga is also closing down, before the Android version even received a proper release. :/

Phantasy Star Online was the best online game to ever come out for Gamecube

HahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH WOW.
So that entire goddamn frame is saying one thing and demonstrating the polar opposite.
Japan's game industry summed up in one picture, bloody amazing.

You would have thought Shenmue 1 & 2 HD would be a shoo-in with this new strategy.
Always amazes me when I see a Sega topic like this, like many of us, there is a goldmine of IP and hits in Sega's collection that need attention. It brings out so much nostalgia in us! There's certainly a market for them.

I thought Bayonetta and Automata had some decent platforming. Shinobi could even use a mix of 2D and 3D like NieR does. Sure, they'd have to step up the platforming a bit, but I think Platinum is more than capable.
This is all a pipe dream, anyway.

Would actually love to see Sega have a "powerhouse" series in the market again to rival other studios' powerhouses. Maybe a return of the Phantasy Star (not PSO, but a more traditional RPG) or OG Shining (that can compete with Fire Emblem). Though considering all the classic IPs Sega has, I'd love a LOT of love directed to a LOT of them in general.
WAIT a FUCK, Atlus is owned by Sega. Get them on board to do the RPGs. They fuckin' still got it, and I can imagine a NEW PS game handled by Atlus (given an anime-ish look) could be one sweet deal!

Atlus does what Atlus wants. Sega can't just throw projects at them. That said, I would love to see what they could do with a Shining or PS title. Yum.

I was about to mention that too like "Wait didn't Chain Chronicle already shut down", but then I saw it's CC3 and that CC shutting down was the Western/Global version.
Valkyria Chronicles was (to the best of my knowledge) made by a combination of people from Wow Entertainment and Overworks. They split off into the present-day AM R&D Dept. 1 and CS 3 R&D. The former most recently has worked on Code of Joker for Japanese arcades and cell phones and StarHorse Pocket for cell phones (they also made Chain Chronicle four years ago); the latter makes Hatsune Miku games and works with outside developers who are making games for Sega (and they're apparently working on a Virtual-On game for PS4 and Vita set for 2018).

Really could use a port of JSR Future. I think the only way to play this game is on the original hardware.
Would be down for some sort of VF based crossover fighter too (Megamix!)

Sega get your grubby hands off of Atlus so they can give me my GODDAMN ETRIAN ODYSSEY FIVE
Well, both Chain Chronicle and Hortensia Saga are still going strong in Japan (the latter even received an Attack on Titan collaboration recently). It's just the Global versions that suffered, mostly because Sega mishandled things. It's why I find their mention of their plans to"create bigger global hits" in the mobile market to be ironic, since they can't seem to ever do things right there.
I mean, they didn't really have a reason to close down Chain Chronicle. It was decently popular, much more so than the other mobile games (by smaller companies) that seem to live on. Hortensia Saga wasn't even given a chance. War Pirates, another Sega-developed game, is still going, but judging by the pace of new content, it's only a matter of time before that one closes down too.
In short? Don't bother investing your time (and, more importantly, your money) in Sega's global gatcha games. They clearly don't have an interest in any longevity with them.
Whatever happened to that mobile game that looked like gacha with classic Sega characters? Some screenshots leaked from it a while ago but there's been no news of it since. I wonder if this news is hinting at that.
I'll be pissed if that mobile game is all we get from this "classic IP revival."

I believe that's the point of the slide. They want to do better with what they consider will be next generation titles. Maybe direct sequels to the games shown (give me PSO3, please) or new mobile games.

Yo, I want a new Phantasy Star. I can't think of a single RPG on the market like that right now, so if you got the right people behind it I can see it seeing some success.
Let's hope so.
I really enjoyed Chain Chronicle, its closure really hit me hard. We just received the V2 update too.

The world needs a new Crazy Taxi.
Come to think of it, the dreamcast and the individual switch joycons have the same number of buttons (minus extra d-pad) 🤔
