Wii: Why not Jet Set Radio?

Am I alone in imagining that Jet Set (Grind, eh) Radio would be Most Awesome with waggle-controls? I loved the music, the style, and the controls (well, at least the "complicated" graffiti mode on the DC). Could Square's similarly-styled The World Ends With You (seriously, what's up with that title?) revive interest in this game? Or could the X-Box version have doomed it to obscurity? D:

I mean, I can't be the only person that loved this game back in the Dreamcast days, right?

Perhaps Sega should try this, instead of flogging a dead hedgehog...

Even, a possible WiiWare game by somebody would be great...

    I loved the Xbox version. I tried playing the DC version after the Xbox version, but it didn't have the same kind of appeal to me. Not sure why.

    I was so happy when they released the BC update that allowed the combo disc on the 360.

    Because Smilebit is dead and Sega hates money. :(

    Noooo, somebody steal this IP and run with it! Drawing graffiti with wigglesticks is too appealing to pass up! I even dug up some of the old tunes in mp3 the other day... (:whistle: Suuupaah Brothaaa...:whistle:)

    Given the last few Sonics that I tried (admittedly, pre-Lost Rings) Sega does indeed have an aversion to money.

    Jet Grind Radio is my favorite video game series of all time. It's awesome in every sense of the word. I've been waiting for a new one forever.

    I'm exactly the opposite... JSRF seemed so soulless compared to JGR.

    To each his own. :)

    Yeah, I missed being able to use the analog stick to spray my tags.

    And that just reminded me the DC version let you MAKE YOUR OWN TAGS. It was so awesome seeing my old band's name all over the city...
