Hi! I know I'm late but I honestly can't believe I forgot Space Harrier! If I hadn't forgotten, it'd probably be like #5 or something lol.

[@gerardomorenoperez1639]

Shenmue: 💀💀💀

[@sugarcrystals5649]

Samba de amigo is baaack!

[@Mitsuraga]

The correct answer is Panzer Dragoon. I would also accept Shining Force. Maybe even Alex Kidd, although he did get a remaster recently of his most well known game. Virtua Fighter and Sakura Wars come to mind, except one is rumoured to have its long-awaited sixth entry in development, and the other got a new game, not too long ago. I dunno if Space Harrier really needs to come back. It was one good game that still gets ported all over the place. You could argue that it's a spinoff of Fantasy Zone. In any case, I don't think a sequel would add much.

[@matthewlasalvia7026]

Nintendo fans complaining about not getting a new F-Zero don’t know the pain of being a Sega fan.

[@carlosemilio5180]

F-Zero is a sega franchise as half of the big releases and 1/3 of the series overall really

[@orangeslash1667]

@@carlosemilio5180 There's upcoming game called Aero GPX, that takes inspiration from F-zero GX.

[@Linty-hk8st]

I bet, I feel bad for sega guys but I sure love f zero

[@orangeslash1667]

@@Linty-hk8st The reason Sega barely makes games is because they get revenue from Pachinko machines.

[@Ramaxx95]

Some other honorable mentions: *Burning Rangers *Skies of Arcadia *Chu Chu Rocket *Daytona *Shining Force *Panzer Dragoon *Outrun *Fighting Vipers *Space Channel 5 *Sega GT *Gunstar Heroes *Phantasy Star

[@orangeslash1667]

I recommend horizon turbo chase, as a successor to Outrun.

"Now it is time to reveal #1" *Rooster Crow* Ah I see you are a woman of taste.

[@fabianugalde3789]

Fortunately, in recent years we saw the return of Samba de Amigo and the Sonic franchise into a more respected IP. Not only that but it was recently announced that Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage (again), Shinobi, Golden Axe, and Crazy Taxi are coming back with more to be announced next year. It is also rumored that Comix Zone, Guardian Heroes, and Skies of Arcadia might come back in some way, so the future for Sega looks bright for now

[@icravedeath.1200]

What if they make a remake of comix zone with hand drawn artwork and sprites, like streets of rage 4??

[@Scarlettaaaa666]

I would sell half of my organs for a sequel or even simply a remake of Ristar He’s such a silly lil goober who deserved wayy more love

[@LoveisStoredInTheLain]

I have never met a trans girl who isn’t really into Sega and I think that’s really funny. EDIT: I WANT KNIGHTS I WANT KNIGHTS

[@Arbo_47]

I gotta put some respect on rhythm thief. I really enjoyed that game, and it's a shame that it ended on a cliffhanger

[@juliannocartagena2007]

I myself am ANGRY at that cliffhanger. Along with Sushi Striker’s (kinda) cliffhanger.

[@ShadicTheChosenOne]

I still can't believe Yuji Naka is in jail.

[@SockoNChips]

[@cheryymonsoon8904]

The thirst for a new Jet Set Radio got recently quenched with the release of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk which is a really good spiritual successor which I'm really happy about

[@OnyxHydra1]

we got a glimpse of a new jet set radio

[@buffbarney2648]

and Hideki Naganmuna makes some of the music in it I love it

[@Runelerune]

I would LOVE a video on hideki. Love the guy

[@tumoredlondon]

[@EWU619]

if anything, we have Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to fill the JSR void, plus Hideki composed some music for that game

[@imthebored9559]

THANK FUCKING GOD BILY HATCHER IS NUMBER ONE!!!!! that game was my fuckin childhood.

[@drizzilepokemon]

"but at least give amigo a chance, I think he'd do wonderfully on the switch" well do I have some news for you

[@alaura3528]

Sonic riders is so top tier. I’d buy a ps2 just to play it again.

[@dead_byte]

the fact that Space Channel 5 didn't appear anywhere on here is a crime tbh

[@MelodyNosurname]

somewhat recent vr game!

[@VIDEOGAMEVIDEOGAMEVIDEOGAME]

A bigger crime is the lack of floigan bros

[@fabianugalde3789]

Your top 5 are also some of my most awaited franchise to see return, and I also think Billy Hatcher is very underrated. I also was born a few years after the release of the game and have not been able to play it. However, from what I've seen, it honestly looks like a fun game that would be great to see rereleased or get a sequel with more content

[@WildKamuran]

the creator that spawned billy hatcher does want to create a sequel one day. so with sega ReWave (yeah that's what i'm call it) I hope to see some ips get back on track in the next years.

[@darkshifter3656]

As for 8, 6, 4, and 3. Shenron: "your wish has been granted" in a way im kinda glad the video is outdated, and Im happy to see Shinobi get a new game as well

[@dravenhuffman]

Samba de amigo came back, with party central

[@chrispalumbo5556]

I just discovered this channel, and I am loving it so far. Great work!

Return of the queen

[@Alurkerdood]

Kinda looking forward to what Sega might bring back in addition to what was shown on the Game Awards. I’d love to see a version of Skies of Arcadia for modern consoles maybe with an orchestral score. I would love to see a new Comix Zone or Dynamite Cop. I never played Burning Rangers but I’d love to see it make a comeback.

[@VIDEOGAMEVIDEOGAMEVIDEOGAME]

I would love if more floigan bros came out

[@juliannocartagena2007]

What about Rhythm Thief and (a franchise so obscure its games were only released in Japan and no one has made a fan translation of either one yet) Hero Bank? Those are SEGA IPs!

[@edward18517]

Knew that Vectorman was gonna pop onto the screen the moment the first note of his Ocean Level Music played XD Was wondering when he was gonna show up on the list. They did actually make some concepts for a potential 3rd Vectorman game on the Saturn but it never ended up getting made.

[@cora_the_rat]

oh my god thank you melody nosurname, ive been looking for Golden Axe for years and years ever since i played it as a kid on my genesis my parents got me

[@livenishikireaction]

fortunately, the most important one is still around

[@cable_g0re]

Dude i still play billy hatcher to this day on my gamecube, this is so fucking cathartic for me. I first found out about this game through a demo disk way back in the 2000s, and i begged my mom to see if we could get it. Lo and behold, we were able to get a copy of it, its one of my favorite gamecube games :)

[@Jac2Mac]

Golden Axe: The Revenge Of Death Adder was not a Japan exclusive as it was released in US arcades, but it's not as popular as the first game.

[@aotc2669]

holy crap every now and again i forget ark of the cosmos is a thing in sonic riders and not just my ign and get jumpscared by someone saying it. thank you melody nosurname for giving me a heart attack 2 hours after i woke up

random fact: ecco the dolphin's box art was used on the album cover of Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1, the first vaporwave album.

[@TigirlakaLaserwolf6]

Oh man i never played Ecco but i was OBSESSED with it as a kid. I would listen to the soundtrack on loop in hopes that it would make me weirder It did btw

[@silveramyknux241]

1:01 Sega has so many dead franchises, that even Sonic has a few dead franchises.

[@Emmypinklasagna]

Damn, 2023 made this video outdated in some ways There's no mention of the canceled Vectorman 3, Samba de Amigo: Party Central! or Bomb Rush Cyberfunk anywhere in this video, which is such a shame but the two of you who made this video didn't know about this stuff at the time so I don't blame you for not putting it in. Despite that stuff not being in this video, this video is still great.

[@Awanderingdrifter]

Honestly saw the thumbnail and we’re getting a new Jet Set Radio

Interesting... I really need to check the Dreamcast librairy one day... And speaking of which... I'm sad to see you didn't even mention the one DC game I want to see come back : Skies of Arcadia ! About Genesis/CD game... Golden Axe is a no brainer, Ristar and Ecco, why not, but i'm really not a fan of Vectorman and Comix Zone. What i would like to see would be a true Shining Force (who didn't exist since 1998), Keio Flying Squadron (1996) and an Oasis/Thor game (since 1996). Lastly for my most beloved Saturn, ... Night okay. But Bug ? with all the banger on this console you choose Bug ???? What about Dragon force, Burning Rangers, Purikura Daisakusen, Last Bronx, Cyber Troopers Virtual-On, ... So your video is interresting but no, i mostly disagree with your choices. Yoh, who would have pick Sonic R instead of Rider...

I can't believe that no one ever talks about the 7th Dragon franchise. Yes, its latest game was on the 3DS, in 2015, but the fanbase is straight up NONEXISTENT. And I just don't understand, aside from it not being translated to English before 7th Dragon III: Code VFD came out, how no one knows about it! It even had a demo on the 3ds. AND HATSUNE FREAKING MIKU was in not one, but TWO OF THE GAMES. Like, is there really no one with at least an obscure memory of playing the 3DS demo ? even as a kid? It had a JSR reference? And a Yugioh parody? 7th Dragon players, anyone??
