Sega Street Team

For me, Hell Yeah was a let-down after all the hype about it, I got tired of it and never finished it.  The elephant game seems similar.

3D classics are all great.  It feels like the 3DS and PC are SEGA's console of choice this generation.

I'm not sure on that. For me, Hell Yeah always seemed a bit like a highly polished flash game - fun, but ultimately hollow. I don't get that with Tembo...yet.

We should make big wearable signs and stand in the street like sandwich-boys, social media is soooooo passe.

For real though, I generally only viral games I really, really like, and even then only to groups of people who might be interested. EG: Pimping Yakuza to my fighting game buddies.

If I had a 3DS, OutRun, Galaxy Force 2, Streets of Rage and Fantasy Zone would be mine for sure... Wish they could come to Steam. Also I think TEMBO looks great, nothing like that Warerabbit game which did look cheap, bit weird to play them off against each other...

^I agree, I don't own a 3DS, but nice ports of Sega Arcade games would be welcome on PC. Perhaps a nice big compilation pack like they did with Mega Drive, and with better emulation?

The reason why I liked Hell yeah so much was because it reminded me a lot of jazz jackrabbit 1, a game that has a lot of nostalgic value for me. Its funny because from the way the rabbit moves, to the guns. Its very similar except for the theme and aesthetics. Needless to say the game doesnt even come close to jjrabbit

I don't think Outrun did ever that well outside of Arcades back in the day.

Not many people "get" it, I suppose.

Are you joking? OutRun was one of the biggest games of the 80s. Yes, in arcades, but by your same logic, Daytona would also be a game nobody "gets."

Heh, I mentioned the Sega Steam sale and 6 people I know bought Isolation and Chronicles :)

Both great games anyway, but at that price even those unsure would be tempted.

Time to bring this back to life I think folks. It's going to be a big year for SEGA I think and we need to help them raise the profile of the great games that are coming over here. Especially if we want more of them from Japan to be released here too.

Was thinking...if possible, could we perhaps run a public event to get things moving? Maybe SEGAbits could start doing polls for certain gaming things that could get more viewers in? Maybe even caption competition on the forum?

Oh! Sneaky!

I really think these sort of things help though. Along with promoting SEGA, people who wish to discuss these games could also find their way here too :)

How about an official SEGABits stream as a way to promote new releases?

You mean like the curator stuff?

That's a great idea! Especially as steam also advertises through recommendations.

D'oh! Either way, both would work well :)

YouTube game clips, podcasts, fan commentaries, fan opinion pieces, anything and everything. Perhaps SEGA would even let us talk to devs too. That would be pretty cool.
