In recent times, Sega has reached out to its fanbase on a number of occasions. At the 2018 Tokyo Game Show, it ran a poll to find out what games fans would like to see added to the AGES line and more recently asked the community what games should appear on the Mega Drive Mini.
It's now conducting an extensive player survey in the US, to help find out what exactly fans want to play in the future. It asks what Sega games players own and follows this up by asking what existing Sega series players would like to see more content for. The survey references Super Monkey Ball, Gunstar Heroes, Sonic The Hedgehog, Bayonetta, Phantasy Star, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, and many other well-established Sega series. It then asks what kind of content players would like to see from each of these series, with the options including DLC, remake/remaster, sequel/new installment and even ports to multiple platforms such as the Switch.
Some common requests, in the reply to this tweet, are for Jet Set Radio and Phantasy Star Online. If you want to fill out the survey, click here. It will take 10-15 minutes to complete and successful completion will give eligible respondents the chance to win a gift card for the Sega Online Store, Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store or Xbox/Microsoft Store.
What Sega series would you like to see the company work with in the future? Tell us down below.

Please Sega:
New Jet Set Radio. New single-player Phantasy Star. New Super Monkey Ball.
In other words, stop sitting on your iconic franchises!
I got one for Sega, give the Sonic franchise to people who actually know what they are doing and what the franchise is about. Modern Sonic Team has has been playing with us long enough. Christian Whitehead x Yuji Naka anyone?
-Shenmue, Nights, Virtua Fighter II, and Panzer Dragoon added to the Sega Ages lineup
-A quality Genesis/Mega Drive Mini developed IN HOUSE, curated by people who know what people want.
-Yakuza on Switch
-Revive Comix Zone as a Nindie exclusive
-F-Zero GX HD!
All of the above for the Switch.
New Thunder Force!
Please...
Anyone remember when we got Phantasy Star? Those were good days.
Whew, that was a bit! Suggested more of Power Stone, Mania-designed 2D Sonic (except with new content), simpler 3D Sonic, Sonic Battle, Gunstar Heroes, Jet Set Radio, and a new IP for Beat Em Ups.
No surprises here, there's no option for Panzer Dragoon, Sega Swirl, or Chu Chu Rocket.
I was thankful for their Phantasy Star- and Shining-centric options, and I used the Other category to ask for them to revisit Otogi: Myth of Demons with FromSoftware. At least an HD double-pack rerelease.
Where the heck is the next round of Switch Ages games???? Too slow Sega!
Where is Skies of Arcadia? Port it. Remaster it! I don't care. Just put it on my Switch!
I don't know why, but I enjoy doing these kind of gaming surveys.
Everything except Sonic would be nice. Please Sega let Sonic rest for two years, if we miss him then you can bring him back later.
I just filled it,I'm glad Sega wants to hear us,they NEED the feedback now more then even if they don't want to go bankrupt anytime soon.
Went all in on Switch ports. Anything related to Valkria Chronicles, Shinobi or Phantasy Star would be awesome, definitely my top 3 SEGA IPs. New games from the Shining Force, Virtua Fighter, Crazy Taxi and Monkey Ball series would be cool too. I'd also like to see SEGA localize the Sakura Wars games.
MaiMai from Arcade to Nintendo Switch.
Ended up supporting Sakura Wars on a whim.
Also want more PC ports, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic 06, Burning Rangers, those are some of the SEGA games I've never been able to play but I'm dying to.
I'd like to see a new NiGHTS that's very different from the original game, since the Wii one was kind of like a super enhanced remake... I think.
Went down the list, said I want every single game ported to Switch. When they asked if I owned other platforms I said nope! Otherwise they’d have license to say “oh, well they’ve got access to those games on another platform so there’s no need to bring them to Switch- it wouldn’t be an extra sale”
On the contrary, dear Sega, you provided no option for “ I own every platform you listed but no longer have any interest in purchasing your games on any of them”. And as such, I have to make it crystal clear that Switch version = new sale. No Switch version = no new sale.
No Switch version =/= me buying on another console. I’m done with that nonsense. I won’t be strongarmed out of my hybrid play just because devs want the easy way out without investing in this fanbase. You can bring your games to the system I actually like playing on, or I just won’t buy em. Simple. As. That.
How many games do you buy?
100+ per year
Do you preorder?
Always
Collector editions?
Always
Digital?
Yes, in addition to buying the same game physical for convenience and shelf life combined
That’s right. Big spenders over here in Switchland, Sega. Digital buying, pre-order loving game-addicts with money to back it up. Come and get some... My wallet will be paying homage to Chocobo’s Dungeon, Ace Attorney, Yoshi, Darksiders, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy X/X-2, Final Fantasy XII, Assassins Creed, Mortal Kombat, Saints Row, Dragons Dogma, Sonic Racing, Xenon Racer, Unravel 2, Resident Evil 0, 1 and 4, and who knows how many smaller retail releases over the next 60 days (Guacamelee Bundle, Wasteland 2, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, DB Heroes, Fate Extella, etc). I only see ONE Sega game in that mix. That’s on you, Sega. Looks like these other games will be getting my money in the meantime. Your move.
Crazy Taxi.
Super Monkey Ball.
Honestly, aside from Valkyria Chronicles, I really don't care much about any of their games.
Please, just bring back skies of arcadia, in any form
I just want more Project Diva games...
Took it. Asked for a Golden Axe arcade port (last was PS3 and Wii) or a remaster, love that franchise. An input delay patch for the Switch version of the Genesis Collection would be welcome, just try and pay the Sonic titles
lol ...the first question is about gender. What th..?
Which gender identity do you most identify with?
Female
Male
Non-binary
...what??
@BlackenedHalo Yeah, that made me chuckle a bit. It's like a polite way of asking if we're gay or lesbian gamers, because that totally shouldn't matter
@sleepinglion It is insane SEGA does not ask you what gender you are, SEGA just asks you what gender you most identify with...Jesus
it is only for the USA so i will pass this survey.
Phantasy Star in the west, please.
Well, can't say I didn't show up in support of Sakura Wars. I want 'em in English, Sega!
Also Super Monkey Ball, Crazy Taxi, Puyo Puyo, and Project Diva. But mainly Sakura Wars is what I'm curious about.
Anyone else want Art Books or suggest they make Amiibo? Might just be me.
On the one hand, I wish Sega would stop sitting on their classic franchises. On the other hand, Sega doesn't tend to do a good job when they attempt to stop sitting on a franchise.
How does one take the survey if you aren’t in the us
Daytona. Arcade version.
I would love to see Phantasy Star for the Switch.
@ilikeike exactly right New JSR!!!!!
PSA: when asked about what review sites you go to, put NintendoLife and Push Square!
Anything to get more publishers to realize this site exists.
Well, i done the survey, and also, i had to choose between Billy Hatcher or Virtual On in the others section... Shoulda gone with Virtual On, but it has been a while since we had a new Billy Hatcher game.
S-h-i-ning Force!
/end
ECCO
THE DOLPHIN
3
...that is all.
Well, okay, maybe a new Shinobi too.
Skies of Arcadia! Already chuffed to bits with the Shenmue remaster, but might be even happier with Skies of Arcradia HD.
Here's feedback, I know it's OCD but why is the person watching a mirrored sega logo?? This has been annoying me since they first started using it
@Bunkerneath She isn’t watching a mirrored SEGA logo. Instead the footage is mirrored in post
@PrettyPatrick I know, but it's still wrong
@ilikeike New Super Monkey Ball? Now that is an idea!
Please bring Arcade versions of Daytona, Sega Rally, Virtual Fighter 2, and Virtua Cop to the Sega Ages line up. Along with Power Drift, Super Hangon, Turbo Outrun, Afterburner Coin-Ops.
As for new content, would support anything if done right. Perhaps they could work with Nintendo on reimagining classic franchises
only for the US
Anyone else getting confused about the "specify reasons why not to buy games in this franchise" table?
I love Crazy Taxi, played all past installments, what do you want me to select here???
Why does completing the survey take you to the Atlus website? Did someone copy and paste the code?
Anyway, it wasn't a great list of titles, there was loads of stuff missing like OutRun, Daytona, Sega Rally, Space Harrier, Virtua Cop, Dynamite Deka, Rail Chase, etc.
Basically their entire arcade history that they continue to ignore.
Yakuza (also the samurai era games), shenmue hd for switch and more valkyria chronicles! Sega is the best!
Just hope they'll keep selling Judgement on ps4, who cares if one of the actors did coke.
They're sitting on a gold mine. Give us some HD ports of classic dreamcast games like Skies of Arcaida! I would also love to see new Golden Axe, Phantasy Star, Super Monkey Ball and many others.
Loved jet set radio and monkey ball
Bring us as much arcade stuff as possible. All the model 1,2,3 stuff please that’s what i really want all running flawlessly.
I made sure to indicate that I'd love to see Phantasy Star Online on Switch. I miss that series greatly. Even if they just do an updated port of Phantasy Star Portable 2 (originally on PSP), I'd play it...but I'm sure SEGA can do better than that.
No faith! No faith, Sega! Another survey?! Fan developers have been pointing the way for years!
Tell me who’s new at Sega now who understands IP management and remembers Sega in 1994. Same old management...same old lacking direction
I asked for remakes of Phantasy Star 1-4 & also Skies of Arcadia. I literally just purchased a bunch of these Dreamcast games in the last few days - it's meant to be! XD
I missed Sonic completely - he needs a break. Actually wouldn't mind a Tails ONLY game though.
I don't even care for sweepstakes, but do I really have to send best regards from "Alabama" or something? It's awkward enough that my PSN account details contain heresy like "Minsk, Minskaya oblast, Russia".😏 Wish some of these polls were at least held for this side of the Atlantic. Although I'm still tempted to chime in just so the poll isn't 100% rabid Sonic fans.
Frankly, I just want as much of their IP catalogue as possible, as portable as possible, as localized and purchasable as possible. Ports, sequels, spinoffs alike. Especially the stuff to franchise binge that's still stuck in Gen6/Gen7. Yes, Sonic 06 as well - even AVGN's video, despite the protagonist's trademark rants, ultimately showcased an awkwardly raw but hardly unplayable game, and it's not like all of us accursed fanbrains can even hate the story more than I suspect Amy Rose did. XD
I'll check it out later.
I feel like Sega does a lot of these polls and surveys. Yet, they rarely do anything with the results
Only open to residents of the USA...
Alright, I’m gonna take this survey. I could use a new Monkey Ball game.
You people can lie about where you're from.. It's not like they check or something...
I asked for Switch ports. I'd really like Yakuza on the Switch, but I fear I'll eventually have to settle for a PS4 game =(
I've always wanted to see a re-imagined HD, highly detailed version of Altered Beast with amazing graphics, sounds, weather effects and all. Add a couple of new levels, make the boss fights a little more challenging, and I'd gladly pick it up for a few bucks. Just a little fan service for us oldies =)
@Mach_Rider ECCO 3 was already released on Sega Dreamcast. Great title.
Hope Sega make a standalone monkey target game like in the first monkey Ball game
@RetroTyGuy No, it wasn't. "Defender of the Future", while great, is a reboot of the series. I'm talking about a sequel to "Tides of Time", hopefully in 2D...but I'm fairly certain it's not gonna happen.
How about bringing Phantasy Star Online 2 over here, you know, like you said you would?
Outrun with a Ferrari.
Shining Force!!!!! Look at how popular Fire Emblem is now and even Wargroove sold really well. A new Shining Force game would be awesome.
@Arshiya technosoft is responsible for thunderforce buddy, not sega. sad thing is technosoft closed its doors and doesn't exist anymore.
@LOZ_Master95
😟😢☹
Ditch Sonic for a few years and give Shinobi the spotlight. With the Ninja Gaiden franchise in doubt, I feel the time is right to be the ninja based, hack and slash game in the current market.
I informed them that they are ignoring every ip except Sonic and Yakuza.
Y u no Fantasy Zone, Sega?
Alex the Kidd and Ecco the Dolphin were not even in the survey!! WHAT?!
-I want Valkyria Chronicles 1-3, in a physical bundle. If I can't get that, I'd settle for 2 and 3 on the Eshop. I also wouldn't mind another game, in the world of 1/4, at some point.
-3D Sonic games need to be handled a LOT differently. Even if I accept they're made for kids, they can pretty much be played by holding the joystick forward and pressing a single button occasionally.
-Anything Yakuza related.
Way too many games to list and I bet the majority have already been mentioned...except for maybe Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Who's bad!?
Let's see... Create a true, quality 3D Sonic unlike anything before. Continue quality 2D Sonics (see Dimps/Whitehead). Bring Panzer Dragoon to Switch. 3D Ecco the Dolphin. F-Zero GX follow-up. All new Phantasy Star Online. And I'll stop at Shenmue series for Switch (ports or new adventure).
I already filled out the survey! More localizations for future Puyo Puyo games would especially be nice! Maybe PSO2 could finally be localized to the west, even though it's a lost cause long ago...
Skies of Arcadia!!!!
Also ECCO the Dolphin. I’d love another ECCO in the style of the Dreamcast game. I would prefer more serene levels than dark and brooding though.
Had to write in to get any mention of Skies of Arcadia. Sigh
@Mach_Rider Ah well, if you want to get technical. I consider Star Fox 64 the second installment in the series even though it's basically a remake. So "Defender of the Universe" is the 3rd Ecco game if you ask me. Ecco Jr though is a spinoff.
@BlackenedHalo Agreed, man, it's getting ridiculous. Today I identify as a hedgehog. There's no box for that
Let's tone it down with the profanity. -Morpheel
Did my part. Better then Nintendo's surveys.
I wonder something. Whichever game wins, how good would the final product be, if it’s creation wasn’t organic? I’m sure SEGA isnt currently using valuable resources on beginning stages of all these games.
I want a Billy Hatcher reboot!!! 😛
Gunstar Heroes, Ristar, Golden Axe (especially arcade versions), Streets of Rage, and more Outrun games on Sega Ages please.
