With the news that Valkyria Chronicles coming to PC/Steam. Which games to you think both Sega and us fans could benefit from a HD port to PC? Here is my short list of 10 games I think would do well on Steam. (No, Shenmue is not included... I want that on everything!)

Mainly Sakura Wars, it has a PC release but I want it translated and Steam fresh.
Do not have any real desire to play most games on PC, because with newer games I worry about specs and there are no demos I rather just play on consoles then. However, if they give me Sakura Wars I would buy that ASAP.

How about one that is already made on PC and just need a Steam release (for outrun 2006 a re-release).
Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg:

I also think SEGA should make a PSO:BB version of the game that lets users 'use' their internet connection as a server, thus making the online aspect free for SEGA. They can make money by charging 15 dollars for nostaglia users!

Pretty much every game listed here already has made my list.
Though change the "Steam" part to "Steam and GOG/DRM Free" and you have me. It is one of my least favorite activities from publishers, to bring a classic game back and put it behind a client wall.
-
Isn't Typing of the Dead already on steam? I don't think half of those games would make the money back for Sega.
(And I think Sonic Heroes and Billy Hatcher are better left forgotten.) :D
-
But their already ON fucking PC, just put them up on GOG.com which is made for these games. I'm not asking for SEGA to remake the games on PC. Just patch them to work on Windows 8 which GOG already does for plenty of games on their store.
And no, Typing of the Dead isn't on Steam. That is Typing of the Dead: Overkill based on Overkill the game. Not the classics.
Also: Fuck you, Outrun 2006 would make money.
-

They literally don't even have to do that. GOG does the heavy lifting for compatibility and Quality control testing, and only will call up devs and pubs if they need extra hands on which is basically only for post release support.
-
They would probably need to rebuy the Faraffrarrrarffrafrriii license so it wouldn't and fuck you!!!
-
(And I think Sonic Heroes and Billy Hatcher are better left forgotten.) :D
Noooo. :<
IMO Billy Hatcher in particular was one of the better 3D platformers at the time.
-
Sonic shuffle. No jokes

The early naughties werent exactly banner years for platformers.
-
I'm not posting them there to say that its a great platformer, but its just a game that is already 'created for PC' and isn't being release. Thus they are making no money.
-
I feel if SOJ should let their subsidaries..mainly Sega Europe handle PC convertions to Steam or just port titles to PC from their old classic arcade libary instead of doing it themselves..it would be a real good benefit. But of course let's be careful what we wish for. BAYONETTA for PC could end up a bad PC conversion..if its not done right..even VC could. We have seen it before from Sega when they just rushed a project. I'm not particually happy with the PC version of PANZER DRAGOON myself.

Not sure if you were responding to me. Billy Htcher should definitely be available. Money's money and it was a solid game. I was just saying that calling something one of the best platformers of 2003 isn't exactly high praise.
-

My nigga.
-
FWIW, you CAN get Billy Hatcher over at GamersGate (http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-BILLY/billy-hatcher-and-the-giant-egg)
But the port is questionable and comes with SecureROM
-
ITT: We list every Sega game ever made.
For real though my short-list would be:
Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown - So I don't need to buy a console for one game. Fighting games on PC are always wonderful, and this would be the ONLY 3D fighter on PC that I can think of. Tekken isn't there, SC isn't there and neither is DoA.
Anarchy Reigns - For the chance that Multiplayer might be relived somewhat instead of DOA on consoles outside of Japan/NA.
Vanquish - Just a top game.
Bayonetta - Just the toppest game. (Also why is there still massive slowdown on the Wii-U version? Get it together Nintendo, Jesus...)
Yakuza Collection - Probably never happen because of some deal Sega made in a back-room with Sony involving a knife and burning a picture of a saint, but this would be ideal, backwards compatibility forever and no need to own Sony consoles if you don't already. Not least of all because some clever dick would probably mod in English subtitles for Yakuza 5.
Metal Gear Solid Series - Oh wait...
-
I want Chu Chu Rocket online with headset and camera support so the faces of who you are playing appear by their names... Half of the joy of Chu Chu Rocket is hearing the screams of your enemies an the salty salty tears when you betray the fair weather allies you make.
-
Typing of the Dead 2
Yes, it exists. It's HotD3.
-
Burning Rangers
VOOT with the best online support possible
and the Fantasy Zone Collection
Anything else is a bonus.
-
This would actually be a really good time for VF to release on Steam, seeing as how PS360 is officially 'Last Gen' and online support will be slowing/stopping and people will move to newer consoles with no back compatibility on them.
Putting it onto Steam would be a new lease on life for the online community. This goes for other multiplayer games like Anarchy Reigns as well.
-
In addition, Fighters are exploding in popularity on Steam in recent times.

I know steam has become the platform of choice for online SF in most communities. Ditto for KoF (although that's thanks to the PS360 versions having horrendously bad netcode). And KoF98UM and KoF2k2UM are releasing Nov & Dec as well.
VF would be the only 3D fighter on PC currently too.
-
This site has it for 25% off, though not sure if that is worldwide or US only http://getgamesgo.com/product/valkyria-chronicles
-
GMG has it for the usual 10% off, but I think you can use this for a further 20% off? Not sure, but someone could give it a try:
SPOOKY-TREATS-GMG20X
Total should be about $14.39
-
For future reference, in case it is not yet known
Cheapshark (http://www.cheapshark.com/)serves as an aggregator for these sorts of deals most of the time and have pretty much every major DD platform to compare against.
Saves a lot of time for most people when hunting for deals. It doesn't always have all the deals accurately(VC for example is missing GMG's deal), but is usually pretty good about staying on top of things.
-
I want Rhythm Thief franchise to be ressurected, even if it's in PC version.
The 3DS version's story mode wasn't finished (The Napoleon we fight is turned out a *spoiler* and Raphael's father is turned out a *spoiler*). I want to know what's happened next.
And yeah, the mobile version was already shut down either.
-
I would like to see the whole Shenmue serious released with the options to play with the classic Dreamcast graphics or HD. I would also like to see Sonic R with the same graphic options.Last I think Sonic Jam would be pretty dope!
-
I second Burning Rangers. This really needs to be on steam.
-
I forgot one of the greats, Fighters Megamix! Nuff said..
