Following the rumours that have been doing the rounds these past few weeks, SEGA Europe ltd. and SEGA of America Inc. have today announced that the classic Arcade game After Burner will return for a new generation of gamers. After Burner Climax features fast and frantic feats, putting you in the cockpit of the world's top fighter jets.
After Burner Climax launched on home consoles and PC back in 2010, and we've seen very little of the series since.
These remakes and remasters are must-haves in this next generation.
Gunstar Heroes was made by Treasure. I'm not sure if that IP actually belongs to Sega. If it does, the ONLY modern day developer that I think would do that game justice is Housemarque. Maybe Sega could collaborate with Sony to let them make a modern day Gunstar Heroes. I definitely think Shinobi and Afterburner need modern day remakes though.
I feel like there are stronger Sega IP's than some of the ones that were listed such as...
Vector Man
Comix Zone
Virtual On
Ranger X
Jet Set Radio
Landstalker
Eternal Champions
As hard as it was, the Shinobi remake that came out on PS2 was decent. But yes, a new remake would be great. Always loved that series.

Afterburner...one word.
Sweet!
Now if they would only release Outrun over here in the US.
