With the recent releases of Shenmue III and Streets of Rage 4, I got to thinking, what Sega franchise should return next? There’s many to pick from, but my choice is easy: Virtua Fighter.
We haven’t seen a VF game since VF5’s release in 2007. It’s time for Virtua Fighter 6! I want to see Sega enter the fighting game ring once again with a brand new entry in the series.
What Sega franchise do you want to see make a glorious return?
Oof, good question. I’m not quite as passionate as I used to be about SEGA, but they still hold a special place in my heart.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a new Ecco the Dolphin game, or Panzer Dragoon. I’d also like to see Sonic Team create sequels to IP’s they’ve left behind, like Ristar, NiGHTS or even Burning Rangers (a hidden gem on the Saturn).
Not necessarily any game in particular, but Sega Sports. I know they broke off and became 2K, but they made some of the best sports games back in the day, like Virtua Tennis and Tennis 2K2. NFL 2K was great too, and they would go on to make one of the best football games ever made, NFL 2K5. So while EA wouldn’t make games on the Dreamcast, Sega managed just fine. Would love to see them delve back into sports again. They won’t be able to use the NFL or NCAA license anymore, which is unfortunate. Though the NCAA may ease up as long as they don’t use player likenesses.

That’s a great pick. SEGA dominated the sports genre during the Genesis and Dreamcast eras. I think at least bringing back Virtua Tennis should be a no-brainer.
It’s amazing how underrepresented the tennis genre has been in recent years, outside of Mario Tennis. Seems like it’s a pretty ideal time for SEGA to bring it back.
