I think everything should be more cosmetic when it comes to chao like certain types of hats related to SEGA characters. Maybe decorations for your chao room? It's pretty easy to monetize it without ruining the base game and making it solely pay to win.

Good thinking with the hats, imagine a Chao Ulala!
Cosmetics would be the best, but I feel like they'd probably end up charging for power ups and Super Chaos anyway.

What Sega IPs could they exploit for a city-building game?

I approve of this topic.  It's relevant, funny, and tragic.

Virtua Fighter, at least then people might play it.

They already made Combo Fever. Sadly you can't download it outside of Japan :/

How would a VF City Builder work anyway? You could make it like Quest Mode that they had in VF5 Vanilla probably. Build arcades and attract STAR PLAYERS.

I think Sega should make an Eggmanland Simcity game.

Build Eggmanland the way you envision it...have sonic and his friends be the equivalent of "disasters".

It's kind of amazing what began as a troll topic ended up with people coming with some genuinely good ideas.

T-This is actually a brilliant idea.

BRB stealing it for Brock mobile game.

I would see Sega making JSR an endless runner, randomly generated but you can choose the background to be different 'cities'. You get chased by the cops and need to use spray cans to boost.

Monetize it by only letting you play X amount each day without purchasing more spray cans! JSR is BACK!
Also could allow Beat and Gum as default, but you need to buy more characters, including some cool cameos from other Sega IPs! Imagine Ulala skating around and tagging things in Tokyo-to! Cool!

Yes! My exact thought!  ;-D

I believe in Jesus Christ my Savior. If you do too and aren't scared to admit it then copy and paste this in your signature.

Give me an old school styled Shinning game. I really miss these games and have been bummed that Japan gets all of the new releases.

THE SHINNING SERIES?



To be honest, Japan can keep what's become of the Shining series, 3 was the last good looking one sadly.

Turn Based Strategy would work great on phones though, I wish they'd even re-release the old games with touch screen controls.

Obviously this is a joke thread, but I think the kind of pick up and play gameplay that works on phones is a really good space for bringing back some of SEGAs classics that probably wouldn't sell anywhere else.

I think Fantasy Zone would be a great example, and you wouldn't have to even change much of the game at all as it lends itself perfectly to the whole free2play thing. I would be so down for a new 2D, side scrolling cute-em-up Fantasy Zone which plays exactly like the classics. Give it a good number of levels and bosses, perhaps a light story like the old games had, something to show progression. Just as in the past use the in game money which enemies drop to buy new weapons and add-ons from the shop only this time have the OPTION to use actual money too.
