Sega have announced today that their 17 year old franchise will ride into battle yet again, in what they are describing as a 're-imagined' update to the series. Promising to deliver an intense and unique combat experience, Golden Axe will force you to use you wits as well as your fighting and magic skills in a battle to defeat 'an evil intent on enslaving the remains of civilization.'
Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing at Sega of America, commented "Golden Axe is one of our most treasured brands and is a complete re-imagining of the story that will take gamers on an unforgettable journey. The vision we have for the remake of Golden Axe is nothing short of remarkable and it can only be realized on the PS3 and Xbox 360"

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
Okay, Sega. the devs of Streets of Rage 4 together and let's make a new Golden Axe happen.
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.
old news but cool all the same :D
Loved the arcade version!
i hope this new version is more free-roaming with an rpg like element to it. instead of a predetermined path to the next level, how bout optional paths.
anyway, it's about time this series is back. can't wait to see how this game turns out.
but ist still cool.
Well this is great. I played them over and over again on my Amiga 500 years ago and loved this game.
I just really, really hope they make it a bit longer, because it was played through completely in no-time
AWESOME!
online co-op PLEASE!!!
