Oh boy.....I can't wait for Golden Axe.

One of the best Sega games out there. The only video game my dad & I ever co-op'ed on....And he's been watching me game for close to 15yrs now.

I can care less either way about this news, honestly what's ticking me off about Sega is how many franchises they keep alive without bringing back my favorite ones. Come on, they rumored Space Channel 5 coming out for the Wii, we have Nights, Sonic, even Seaman is coming back, Samba de Amigo, of course there is the ever boring Virtua Fighter, the never ending Super Monkey Balls, and many others.

I want to see:
Jet Set Radio
Shenmue
Crazy Taxi
heck even ToeJam and Earl or a Burning Rangers sequel would be cool.

I think golden Axe's problem much like Bionic commandos is that they waited too long to cash in on a 3d game experience. Moving classic 2d games into 3d like Mario and Zelda on the N64 was a huge move, and worked well. But that was a decade ago. Now with these 2d games so dated it feels more forced, like they are squeezing juice out of old franchises. I'm not saying they'll be bad, I'm just not terribly excited till I see some gameplay videos.

 Agreed. *pukes on Final Fight: Streetwise*

It's the aspect I hated most about the PS1/N64/Saturn era: GAME MUST BE IN 3D OR DIE 

Remember: Mario 64 and Zelda OoT worked because Nintendo took the essence of what made the 2D games so great, put it into 3D, and hid/reduced the burdens that 3D gaming. Both games are well-known for letting you explore and not dealing with a clumsy camera.

Sonic, on the other hand, forgot about speed and made you wander around a city for a while. Then added several non-speedy characters to the mix. And the unholiest camera ever to ever exist.

There are several other series that didn't survive the 3D jump: Contra (the PS1 Contras...ohmygod no) Road Rash, Toa Jam and Earl (remember the XBox sequel? Anyone?) Final Fight etc. Many new develeopers don't understand what made the old ones so great.

So any modern remake I hear about is taken with a grain of salt.

 Virtua Fighter 5  was released earlier this year on PS3 and comes out this month on 360. VF5 is the best 3D fighting game on the market. Of course Yu Suzuki is the only top notch head developer that remains at Sega, so the games quality shouldn't be surprising.

@Ari Gold, if you are cute and sane girl yes. If you are guy, I am not going to New Hampshire to marry you

Why do they revive Golden Axe anyway ? I hated that game ...

Sega better should bring a new Panzer Dragoon RPG-part(or just remake PD Saga for current gen consoles) or Shining Force or a real Phantasy Star RPG (PSO/PSU just ain't the real deal)

A lot of vintage games being remade for the new generation...

Has the gaming industry run out of ideas and become like Hollywood?

if so, where's my damn Kid Icarus 2 damn it... I've been waiting 20 years now. 

What, Shining Force Neo and EXA and Shining Tears weren't good enough for you guys? :)

 In that case you're missing out on one of the funniest series of flash cartoons ever! check out www.legendaryfrog.com. The guy also made one of the funniest FF parodies ever "about random battles"

 They are at least as into it as Hollywood.  I mean a good section of PS3 gamers are going nuts waiting for Final Fantasy XIII, I wonder if they knew when they started they would spawn so many they would have picked a title like Eternal Fantasy or such.  I can think of only one Hollywood property with that sort of sequel fever, James Bond, and that is from a much older industry.  There might be a similar realm in Star Treks or Friday the 13ths but I am not certain.
