Sega’s Revival Quintet
The bloated rump that was the Game Awards aired yesterday, and for anyone who sat through the nearly 4 hour slog the brightest spark came from Sega. The Sonic supremos snatched sights with a trailer show 5 classic franchises that are making a comeback. The trailer that Sega showed gave us a very brief look at new games for Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi.
Besides the glimpses we got there was little else; Sega promised ‘more’ games besides these but we got no release dates or platforms.
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’ probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Collecting Legendary Pokemon that I missed in Arceus and Sword the first time around.
