Rumor: Crazy Taxi & Sonic Adventure coming to XBLA

------------------------

------------------------

Microsoft Korea has today submitted Dreamcast classics Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure to the Korean age ratings board.

The submission adds further fuel to speculation that both games are heading for the Xbox Live Arcade treatment. The Sonic Adventure rumour started earlier this year after Sega Online, a Sega fansite, posted images of the game on the Xbox dashboard and what were allegedly in-game screens.

While both games are great, we constantly find ourselves asking where the long-rumoured port of Jet Set Radio has gotten to?

We attempted to contact Sega for comment but were unable to get hold of anyone at this time.

No interest in Crazy Taxi, Sonic or even the rumoured Jet Set Radio (had that free with Xbox and didnt like it). Wheres Shenmue III Sega!? Not interested in much besides that from Sega...

I'm still confused as to why Shenmue II a title on the original Xbox hasn't even been given compatibility or even added to the Games on Demand service yet.

No idea, a mystery to me. If Shenmue and Shenmue II had been released on more popular platforms other than the at the time, dying Dreamcast and the original Xbox (behind PS2) it would have sold so much more and wouldnt be such a question mark over if Shenmue III will ever be created. They were ahead of their time technically and so much different to most games that were on the market at the time. Shenmue III in a world as well crafted as the one in an open world like that seen in Red Dead Redemption with an updated and deep combat system would be nothing short of amazing.

Crazy Taxi was a PS2 favourite of mine. Plus I love The Offspring.

Looking forward to Crazy Taxi myself, but would love to see a Power Stone 1 & 2 release on XBLA or even Grandia II.

Well said my friend, only time will tell.

Not too excited about these.
