Shenmue 3, Jet Set Radio, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Crazy Taxi, Virtua Cop, Daytona USA, Altered Beast, Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, After Burner,Space Harrier, and Sega GT.

These games could be huge hits! Butin order for them to be huge successes they would have to be done right.

Although I have high hopes for Nights, we'll have to see.

I'm mainly waiting fora Panzer DragoonSaga remake, and Shenmue 3.

Sega has Condemed 2 coming, so things are'nt all bad.

I may be sitting on gold, but I do not have the money to buy a shovel to dig for it.

Sonic has yet to make a proper recovery.

I would severely doubt that any one of those games would appeal to the vast majority of gamers out there, sure the hardcore crowd would love every minute of those games, but what casual gamer knows about shenmue? Panzer Dragoon? Maybe Crazy Taxi and Virtua Cop but none of the others seem like big sellers.

Could be wrong though, maybe these games are more popular in the East.

Someone should buy or license some of their franchises from them since they are not using them. I still believe that they are better off being bought by someone with better dev teams to put the franchises to good use. As long as it's not EA of course but Ubisoft would be nice.

Shenmue is the only awsome franchise and it's not even popular.

Sega is quite unable to modernize their classic franchises. Ex. Sonic.

My private dream is for Sega to just give their licenses to Nintendo. Nintendo could do some freaky **** with them.

Shenmue is pretty boring to be honest.

Sega is going down the drain. They need to keep releasing their crap Sonic games to keep them in buisness. It really saddens me because I want them to come out with a Skies of Arcadia 2. :(

Sega has really lost touch with any sense of quality.. This became evident when they announced that they were wasting their time with a Sonic Riders sequel.

None of those games strike me as gold, and I doubt SEGA would return to the commercial failure that Shenmue was. Unless they can make more bang for less buck, of course.

Unlike a certain other company. A company who has deeper pockets now than ever before. A company who, when reviving a franchise, makes it into one of the most masterful games of a generation. Yes, I want Sega to be bought out by them.

First of all, Sonic isn't dead. Games like Sonic Rush and Secret Rings are good. Second... don't forget Sega created Sonic in the first place.
