An elaborate new teaser video from Sega teases their next Dreamcast game for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. It didn't take long for fans to guess what the next HD re-release would be.

Jet Grind Radio (aka Jet Set Radio worldwide) will be making its long-awaited return. It's been over a decade since the original Dreamcast release and its Xbox sequel, Jet Set Radio Future.

The cel-shaded graphics will likely benefit a lot from a widescreen HD revamp, however fans are concerned that the soundtrack may not survive the transition to the current gen. "SEGA you’re going to need to say what songs are getting cut from the soundtrack before I can care about this," one fan commented on the official Sega blog. Given the trickiness of music licensing, it's something we'll be keeping our eyes (and ears) open for.

      Nice, hopefully all of the original music is included. Wouldn't mind the official sound tracks getting re-released either.

      I care very little about the vast, vast majority of nostalgia-based releases, only because of personal taste and my ever dwindling time for gaming. However, I literally - LITERALLY - gasped in real freaking life when I saw the headline.

      If ever I wanted 'voting with my gaming dollar' to be true, it's now - if I buy this, I'll be wanting a sequel, even if I go through and get 100%. AGAIN.

      SHUT UP AND EAAAT, TOO BAD NO BON APPETIIIIITE.

        Haha, so those are the lyrics to that song. My college roommate had JSRF on the XBox ten years ago, so I remember that weird song.
