Going all hack and slash, 1 player & 3D was a bad move for golden axe.
If they keep Streets of Rage 4 2D with updated graphics obviously then i think it would succeed.
Sega are MASTERS at 2D games for the most part.
I can't understand for the life in me why they don't make games like Sonic and Knuckles 2, Streets of Rage 4, Golden Axe 4, Vectorman 3 & Revenge of Shinobi 2 ect ect (all in 2D) for XBLA/VC/PSN.
They would make a killing in profits because they don't cost much to make but would be lapped up by the hordes of Sega fans out there.
