It’s been announced that Sega plans to license some of it’s classic franchises out to get more sequels out on the market. It will be interesting to see how this works out. I have mixed feelings as some of them might not be the same without my beloved Sega having them under their complete control, but many of them have been neglected by the developer and might not otherwise see any further titles. If Nintendo could get their hands on NiGHTs, I would be happy

he list of IP that has been designated for western third-party development reads as follows:

House of the Dead
NiGHTS
Golden Axe
Virtua Cop
Streets of Rage
Shinobi
Crazy Taxi
Altered Beast

Of the above, Sega designated House of the Dead as being the most important franchise. Golden Axe had the lowest priority. We can confirm that Travellers’ Tales is in talks with Sega right now concerning one of the firm’s franchises that is not listed above.
