Rumor: Jet Set Radio might be coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade photo

Well will you look at this. Someone has grabbed a screenshot that clearly shows Jet Set Radio as a game that is on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

If this is real it's a great boon for those who haven't played Jet Set Radio. Getting the game would not only let you play one of the best games on the Dreamcast in HD, but also could show SEGA that the gaming community would support another Jet Set game. How do I know we would? Because I will personally hold a gun to every gamer's head until they buy it.

Of course I have probably jumped the gun a bit here. I'm already planning to threaten the lives of millions over the re-release of a game based on a shot that could be fake.

YES! Was thinking of getting this on ebay the other day. Very stylised and fun. I'll be very happy if this is true :-)

I'd give anything for this game on psn. Heck I'd purchase it on both my psn accounts to just give sega another sale on it.

I dunno, JSRF was pretty damn fun, but I heard that JSR is harder, has a time limit, and doesn't have Yoyo... that's 3 strikes against it for me

A game as great as JSR deserves better than XBL.

Yoyo is in JSR. He's a later character, though.

I would kill for this on PSN. Especially if they work in online somehow. I think this game had a multiplayer mode...

JSR and Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure are good, but if Power Stone 1 or 2 are announced and playable on Partnernet, I am not above sneaking into the home of someone who owns a dev 360, killing them, and wearing their skin to play it.

I would definitely buy this for 360; JSRF was ok, but the original blows it away in all areas. Such a fantastic game.

In other words, you think it should only be on WiiWare.

I so hope this is true! I love JSR.

For any who don't know about Jet Set Radio (Shame on you >:O)... This video pretty much sums up how awesome it is:

@Reginald

Wasn't Smilebit dissolved into Amusement Vision and some internal Sega team? AV went on to make the fantastic F-Zero GX so things could be worse... But the original team was still split up.

Though I'd give it a chance if they brought Hideki Naganuma back for the music along with a team passionate about the original.

Soey Fisherman said it all, well, almost. The above Randledenker's comment fully insults Vonnegut's complete message he spent his life trying to bring the world around to seeing. "So sad to see this brilliant and wise man......." chess sets Then to spin, no, mutilate his cause of death says you would have been best off with fingers off the keyboard this time.

Dammiiiit... I was hoping Future was going to be released. The sequal was so much better compared to the Dreamcast original. Hopefully we'll get to see JSRF released on the xbox originals soon after :/

@ Iron Dragon

yes, Smilebit was dissolved a long long time ago, but that doesn't mean the key people on the team can't get back together for another game. a lot of them are still at sega. Naganuma did the music for Sonic DS.

Would love to play through this again, loved JSRF but they fucked up my boy Garam's original look, dug more tracks in it too. Jurassic 5 is a badass group and I probly never would've heard of them otherwise, same goes for my love of good JRock. I hope Sega gives it the sequel it deserves eventually.

I hope this does happen, as I have not been able to play JSR as I have never owned the right console.

Might get it, I prefer JSRF though. Or they could do a remix :-) Which would be awesome. Oh, and throw in some cool avatar awards like they did with Afterburner Climax and Im definitly in.

Someone should steal one of these devkit consoles so that we always know when a game is being released like this.

Or has that already happened?

I wouldn't hold my breath for this, or Crazy Taxi Quake Live etc going to PSN.

Anyway JSRF was one of the original Xbox biggest hits. Maybe a new one is in the works for 360? I mean, there's still an unnannounced exclusive game for 360 that's supposidly a return to a known series...

I fully support this. I'll gladly sacrifice thousands of Microsoft Points at the altar of Dreamcast.

For PSN users, I wouldn't be too worried if I were you. Unless things have changed drastically since this leaked memo.

I has forgotten about that rumor. A new Jet Set game would be amazing, as long as they didn't muck it up with Natal.

I loved the original on Dreamcast, but I was never able to finish it. I was (and still am, actually) stuck at the part where Combo and Cube ask you for help. That level is way too fucking hard, especially with the guy chasing you around.

Hey Sega, while you're at it: RELEASE TOY COMMANDER AS WELL PLEASE.
