How about a REAL Shining Force game. By that, I mean where you have 12 characters in turn-based combat, who can change class when their level gets high enough. Better yet, just remake all 3 episodes of Shining Force 3.
Hmm...Streets of Rage(Bareknuckle in Japan)..brings back old memories..
I also really want new Phantasy Star(other than MMORPG)
Sega lost litttle bit of their magic touch since they have gone multiplatform..kinda miss them as console maker. But they were forced to play catch-up because they went multiplatform during middle of the cycle(So 2-3 years behind other companies in terms of tapping hardware).
I expect good and better things from Sega this upcoming generation..

It's pretty sad. Jet Set Radio Future and Panzer Dragoon Orta are my two favorite Xbox games. Both of them sold like crap, though. I don't think Sega will be taking risks with any of their older franchises after the poor sales of those two.

Well it's not like they made any effort to make all the other "remakes" any good...
Making JSRF exclusive to a completely new player, at its launch wasn't a very good idea if they intended to sell a lot of them, and PDO, well same really, if we add the fact that it has a limited appeal, graphics are its main attractor and it's still exclusive to the Xbox.
Sega always made strange business decisions and it doesn't look like they learned.
awwwww, i'm the only one that voted for Kid Chameleon. Come on nawww thats a classic!!!! I would love to see that game in 3D...or mabe keep it a side scroller....I don't know...
JUST REMAKE IT, or CREATE A SEQUAL or A DIFFERENT ADAPTATION then i'll be satisfied

Isn't Golden Axe a Sega game? I actually would love to see that game brought back to this day and age.
We've mentioned Golden Axe earlier in this thread.
All right, how about a port of Fighting Vipers 2? How awesome would that be? I would buy it in one second.
A new Eternal Champions would be awesome to play.
Don't worry about the Shining games. SEGA is making real versions of it. Shining series does not just entail Force but also all the other Shining whatever. But do not fret, a new Force game must be around the corner.
There are a few others in th eback of my mind right now. I'll post on them when I figure it out.

I'm looking forward to Shining Force Neo
Anyway, regards next-gen releases, do you want the same style game, or just a continuation of the franchise by name? I'm thinking of the new Gauntlet game. It's nothing like the original in terms of gameplay or visuals - it's only Gauntlet in name (plus characters).
How would a next-gen Golden Axe play? 3D hack-and-slash? Tekken style combat? See, in my mind changing from 2D to 3D would probably result in a game so different in gameplay that it would be Golden Axe in name only. Whereas the recent R-Type games have played like the 2D game, just with 3D visuals.

There's a new Shining Force coming out for PS2, but it's an action-RPG. Supposedly it's a lot like Shining Tears. I always thought the reason they had games like Shining Soul and Shining Tears is because Shining FORCE is the strategy/RPG series. Oh well, there's another inexplicable business decision by Sega.
It seems like Sega is in a slump now.
Virtua Quest was retarded, Altered Beast was bad, Shining Tears was awful, I've heard nothing but bad things about Sonic Heroes, they made PSO into a card collecting game, Shining Force Neo isn't even a strategy RPG, Shadow the Hedgehog looks. . . too eXtreme, and so on.
Ah well. I saw a really poor-quality video someone got of their behind-closed-doors presentation at E3, and the next-gen Sonic game looks like it could be awesome. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they can get back to their old selves again.

I kind of like the idea of a no BS, side scrolling beat-em-up. I always had fun walking from left to right, beating the living snot out of hundreds of bad guys. Maybe they could add a few RPG elements sort of like the D&D arcade games, e.g. earn money to buy all sorts of new weapons and magic, gain experience points, branching level progression, stuff like that. I would like to see them keep the focus on action, though.
Like Shifty said though...take away the 2D aspect and make it 3D and it has the possibility of losing its charm and what made it so special. Games like Viewtiful Joe prove that 2D games can still be money makers (also Paper Mario). Golden Axe is different though.....I guess it can be brought to the 3D plane..but I think that its the Arcade aspect that makes it Golden Axe. Take that away and you run the chance into making it some random RPG.
The scary thing is Sega hasn't been handling there IPs that good lately as Shark Sandwhich has stated. Some of there games have plain straight out sucked. I just hope they take more care this Next Generation with my Childhood franchises....(well, there not mine...but..you know what I mean)

I'm with you!
Kid chameleon was one of my favorite games for Genesis (I think it was on genesis, I can't really remember -- it's been a while).
PS3/Xbox2/N-Rev update of it would be kinda neat... I'm sure they could add all kinds of crazy stuff to it -- they don't need to try for the most insane graphics, just make it fun and I'm there.
