Posted on February 7, 2024 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors
According to X user MbKKssTBhz5, who has gained credibility for Persona leaks, SEGA intends to bring its revival projects to the Switch successor.
SEGA revealed a number of new titles during The Game Awards last December. Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, and Streets of Rage all have new titles in the works. MbKKssTBhz5 now says that the titles highlighted during that trailer for The Game Awards will be on the next Nintendo system.
Here’s a rundown of the different games:
- Crazy Taxi franchise – A whacky, high-octane driving adventure series where players must weave through traffic in an open play environment to deliver passengers to their destinations before time runs out.
- Golden Axe franchise – A “hack and slash”-style series with close melee combat set in a fantasy world of beasts, swords and magic.
- Jet Set Radio franchise – This franchise combines action packed traversal around vibrant Tokyo-to with skating, self-expression through graffiti, street culture and rebellious themes.
- Shinobi franchise – A series that utilizes ninja shuriken, ninjutsu, special attacks and more to defeat enemies in a mix of side-scrolling action and challenging environments.
- Streets of Rage franchise – A “beat ’em up”-style series that pairs fast-paced fist fighting with fresh music set in a lawless urban environment.
And here’s that trailer from The Game Awards:

As for Jet Set Radio, MbKKssTBhz5 says it’s a reboot coming in 2026. A remake of Jet Set Radio was also planned, but its status is currently unclear.
SEGA has said that these projects “are currently in different stages of development and will release over the next several years.” More information will follow in the future.
