Jet Set Radio is Back on the Airwaves
DJ Professor K, Beat, Gum, and all the GGs are taking to the streets in this upgraded HD version of Jet Set Radio, which sees players vying for control of the futuristic Tokyo-to by marking their turf with graffiti tagged across walls, billboards, and rival gang members. Jet Set Radio will be coming to XBLA, PSN, and Windows PC Digital Download this summer. If you’re unfamiliar with the story, Jet Set Radio lets players join the GGs, an up-and-coming street gang in the futuristic city of Tokyo-to, fighting for the right to self-expression against an overbearing, corporate-controlled police force. Rolling and leaping through crowded urban environments on magnetically driven inline skates, players take control of gang leader Beat and his growing posse of deviant artists as they steal turf from the local gangs by covering the city with colorful graffiti. Guided by Professor K, DJ for the hottest pirate broadcast in town – “Jet Set Radio” – the GGs will ultimately uncover the sinister plot hatched by the controlling powers of Tokyo-to. Get Your Tag in the Game

Damn. I’m from Belgium and I want to participate too ;_; Even if my graffiti skills are not that great, JSR is one of my favourite games of all time.

This is awesome. Hopefully you guys dont wait too long to release another dreamcast game and make the next one sonic adventure 2. The best sonic game 3d wise. And you should consider making a sonic adventure 3

Hi SEGA, your friend Barry here.
Can you confirm that the soundtrack will be intact?

It’s looking fantastic…but will it sound fantastic too? Soundtrack information needed!

Which version of the soundtrack will be used? Please please PLEASE be the European or De La Jet Set Radio soundtrack!! I’m so happy you decided to call it Jet Set Radio though

Hi, I would also very much like to know if the soundtrack will be there in its glorious entirety.

Sega, day one purchase— a million thank yous for re-releasing this!
I don’t want to start nagging you about something else, but could you seriously consider releasing for the PC (or Steam alone) the Typing of the Dead series (I recently learned you had more releases of this series in Japan and I want them and the original!) and Hundred Swords? I never knew Hundred Swords had a US release on the PC, but I’m hesitant to buy it now because I doubt it will work for Windows 7. And why isn’t Sega Swirl on the iPhone/iPod Touch?
And lastly, thanks to recent rumors, a Seaman on 3DS just sounds appropriate and necessary for the future of the human race.

I wish Shenmue would get a re-release! Sega should make it a monthly thing to re-release their old games. That’d be amazing.
Posted by Mike Hawk on February 28th, 2012 at 8:09 am
Comment # 17
To confirm, this is an HD version of Jet Grind Radio(as it was named in North America) and NOT a remake of its sequel, Jet Set Radio Future, released on the Xbox.
Is this correct?

For PC too, that’s awesme! thank you so much! Please JSRF Next ^_^

Comment # 19
@John: I’m not SEGA, but I can 100% say that this is the first game and not the sequel. JSRF looked completely different, and the blog post itself states this is the Dreamcast original.

Hi John, that is correct.

Comment # 21
I agree with Mike and DV2, JSRF might be backwards compatible on 360 but I’d prefer a proper HD re-release on XBLA, PSN, and PC. I really wish I can understand why so many want Shenmue, because I don’t recall it being that great or the storyline ever finished even with Shenmue 2. Don’t get me wrong, I’d most likely buy it, it’s not a complaint against the request, I just find it curious.
Posted by Chris on February 28th, 2012 at 9:21 am
Comment # 22
Thanks for the confirmation.
I saw a few posts in forums from some people that were clearly confused by the naming. They tended to be gamers that played JRSF and didn’t even realize the first one ever existed.
Perfect time for them to experience the original.

Thanks for releasing this on PC, Sega. Too many developers neglect porting their HD conversions to PC, it’s great to see Sega supporting the platform.

Oh c’mon Sega! Just throw up De La Jet Set Radio on the networks! You know you want to!

Can we get a release date? Some places are saying Summer 2012 but others say no details on a release date.

Jet SET Radiooooooooooo!!!
Yes! Yes! God, yes!! This is looking great! I can’t wait until this summer. Sadly, it looks like I’ll finally have to say goodbye to my Dreamcast. JSR was the game I kept going back to over and over again that kept my Dreamcast hooked to the TV. Not just for the unique style of gameplay, but Hideki Naganuma’s awesome soundtrack.

I LOVE YOU SEGA YA! CAN’T WAIT TILL SUMMER!

I am loving everything about this so far
from the name to the fact its coming out (i prefer jet set radio rather than jet grind radio) but one I’m wondering is i know one of the competition prizes is a jet set radio hoodie, any chance of some other merch if the reception is good? i would love to be rocking a jet set radio hoodie or shirt and i would enter the competition but in not old enough. Anyway thank you for finally bringing this game out and good luck to all those who are entering the competition

So happy JSR has gotten more attention. I’m definitely buying this even though I already have the Dreamcast version.

Well, there goes my hopes of making graffiti featuring Professor K, Ryo Hazuki, or the Eggman logo. Am I the only one wondering if the framerate will see a gorgeous increase? Good call on JG… I mean, JSR Sega. I’m not sure if I have enough incentive to purchase this one (have it on the DC and favor its sequel), but hope to see more classics revisited.

I will be downloading this on my xbox rather than my playstation. thank you sega for bring another of your classics to xbox. hopfullty one day it will be shenmue 1 and 2 on xbla followed by a shenmue 3. hopefully more saturn classics appear as well to join guardian heroes and radient slivergun like panzar dragoon saga. nights,sonic r and baku baku animal and many more classics that were there between the satirm amd dreamcast

The players are worried about the music will be the same as the Dreamcast?
Posted by Dav on February 29th, 2012 at 9:38 am
Comment # 46
Dav, that’s right. Some of the songs are licensed, so SEGA would have to renew those, or replace them. No big deal, the most recognizable tunes are the ones originally made for the game.

dear sega,
from all the comments its pretty clear we all loved the original sound track.
It also played a big part in the overall joy of the game.
I dont want to say I would hate the idea of new tracks,but I would have got the xbox arcade version of crazy taxi all over again if the sound track stayed the same.
Please keep the sound track as it was

But if they were released many games, for sure many people would buy Dreamcast.
The sega does think there is possibility of being the only console on the market with the sixth generation!
^~^ That would be a perfect marketing
she can still release games for the wii u, x box 360, ps3 and dreamcast too!

Hideki naganuma and Richard Jacques are still alive so its very likely the soundtrack will be in the re release. The music IS in Sega superstars tennis and all stars racing after all…

So sad the so called “PC” releases are actually “MS Windows” releases. I use Linux.
I always loved this game and I regret I sold my console.

Please, please, please for the love of all that is good and holy include a custom graffiti import feature like in the original game. It could be a lot simpler, since both the PS3 and 360 already have native photo storage features, you could simply import photos from there (pssst, make sure transparency/alpha is intact). I’m a digital artist and it would mean so, so, so much to me to get to create lots of graffiti art to spray all over Tokyo in the game. It might seriously move me to tears. Please do it! (Yes, I’m interested in entering the contest! It’s not the same thing, though. I want to make as much art as I like, whenever I like, for when I’m playing the game myself!)

Very good Sega, now all you need is to skip the remakes and make a part 3 to the JSR series and do it carefully with the cell shade and everything but new story same characters but adding some new characters as well oh and new game modes same multiplayer concept and online playable against people around the world. Please Sega don’t screw my wish up I beg of you.

Please SEGA release jet set radio future on PSN . There are so many fans out there that want the game to come back! You should let this amazing game gain the glory it deserves( it was pretty unfair that Xbox didn’t success and affected the sales of the game)! It is one of the old games that remains amazing even after 10 years!!! By the way, it is the only game that is adored even by pro gamers that prefer military/shooting games. I tell this from my own experience ( ex. my friends). Also, both sexes love the game! It is a masterpiece!

Please SEGA release jet set radio future on PSN! It is a remarkable game with many fans even 10 years after! Though, the failure of xbox did not let it get the popularity it deserved and still deserves!All kind of people liked this game!Many friends of mine which are pro gamers and do amazing on shooter games love this game!!!This proves it’s value!If you want to stand out in the game industry, you may support this type of games you had done and even make sequels. These games made this company unique and deserve your devotion!!!!
