Sega might have spent the last few years dragging our beloved memories of Sonic through the dirt, but like an abused, battered spouse, we always return to the company's embrace. They'll change this time, we tell ourselves before each new Sega title is revealed. Sometimes, the gamble pays off. Other times ... not so much.
At first glance, the company's Wii line-up for Leipzig (listed past the break) consists of titles we've all seen before, but Sega is also planning a "world premiere" for a hitherto unannounced game, one that will be announced in time for the start of the trade fair on August 20th. This being Sega, our imaginations have instantly fired up. Given the recent trademarking shenanigans and Sega's current fondness for reviving Dreamcast titles, our money is on a Jet Set Radio game of some description. You never know, however -- it could just be another Sonic game noone really cares about. We'd never rule that option out.
Activate idle speculation!

Or it could be announcing Sonic and the Knight 'whatever' game and everyone is disappointed.

I would love a new JSR, I really would, but I kinda expect that series to be revived sooner or later. What I would like to see is something really unexpected, like when they released a new Toe Jam for the Xbox.
Maybe a Streets of Rage 4 - I had real fun with the first game; a new Super Hang-On or Daytona; Space Harrier; Rent-a-Hero; Last Bronx. I could go on forever. Yeah, anyway, I hope the announcement is a surprise and it's really, really cool; fingers crossed for a new Panzer Dragoon, or remakes of the Saturn three.

Take a wild guess what I'm hoping for. Good news indeed. A JSR title would be pretty dope as well.
My fingers will stay crossed that it's a new Panzer Dragoon game until I hear otherwise, however slim the odds may be.

Well, the realistically hopeful side of me sees a new Jet Set Radio, while the off-the-wall guessing side screams for Shining Force 4. However, I take Jet Set in my bloodstream, so I have something new to pray for at night. =D

some ideas...
A powerstone title?
A new Grandia?
chu-chu rocket wii ware?
phantasy star online comes back with VOICE chat (or at least text chat like original)?? omg that would be amazing for me and some people I know.
A 3rd sonic after black knight already talked about?
eh...you know it's likely just another remake of "break." Which by the way is my favorite game of all time. 10/10

It's that sonic knight game. I'm sure. JSR would be too good to be true. Also with the last one it seemed that they wanted to get the best possible visuals(up to the point that even on Xbox there were some slowdowns). I want a new JSR game but I just don't thinks such good things happen anymore.
