Interview: Why Sega is reviving classics like Shinobi and Jet Set Radio across games, film, and TV

Transmedia boss Justin Scarpone explains how the gaming giant is planning to become an entertainment juggernaut…

So we have a suite of titles in development right now that fall into that legacy bucket, which we announced last year at The Game Awards; Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and we have another Virtua Fighter being developed. And so all that’s very exciting. And then in certain instances, we’re also doing animation series, or live-action films to augment that and be part of those roadmaps.

In an interview Sega Head of Transmedia, Justin Scarpone, confirmed that a new Virtua Fighter game is in development.

This interview is a generally interesting read, because Justin comes to Sega from Disney. A lot of the interview discusses how Sega broke into the top 40 top licenses list and how they'll be trying to expand the licensing of their IP into a greater multi-media mix.

That's some old school video game reveal, a small footnote in a larger interview.
People suspected(plus the leak) but it's great to have an official confirmation.

VF5 felt like a testing ground for what would inevitably be the next entry. I really hope they pull it off because 3D fighters are in a rough spot currently.

That's cool, we need more fighting games...and more TYPES of fighting games.

Like new 2d marvel Vs Capcom or a new Killer Instinct.

This will be a great addition.
