I'm often a defender of mobile games. I actually have an idea for a free-to-play mobile game in my head that I'd really like to pursue. But so many of these companies do not get how to make these games fun to the 99% of people that do not want to sink money into them, and Sega's no exception. They've made some pretty great paid mobile games, but they don't even do that anymore, and then went as far as to yank them from the store.

What? My old galaxy had nothing but Sega games on it pretty much.

My Galaxy has SEGA games on it, but not officially.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a new Shinobi or Streets of Rage or whatever, but it's not like beat em ups or ninja action games are super popular these days. The idea that the only thing keeping Sega from becoming an upper tier publisher is a fucking Shining Force 3 remaster is a bit delusional IMO.

It's a smaller hardcore audience (of which I am one myself) but I think they should still be trying to tap into it to make at least SOME headway with their owned IP's.

It's sad to see such a low output of Sega games currently considering the wealth of IP that they own. I'm actually surprised they haven't gone the Capcom route and released more remasters of their last gen games and they published some awesome games if you take a look at their overall library like Vanquish, Binary Domain, Sonic and Sega All Stars Transformed, Sonic Generations, Bayonetta, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Resonance of Fate, & Jet Set Radio HD. They're relatively easy to make money off of and given so many gaps between bigger AAA titles these would have filled in quite nicely.

They don't all have to be AAA sized, usually low to mid budgets can make these games happen as long as they know which studios are a good fit which is why it's baffled me why they haven't released a new Streets of Rage game since 3 and they haven't tried another Phantasy Star Online MMO considering how well it would do on consoles nowadays after Destiny and the promise of the Division.

Part of me also thinks that they need to rebrand themselves with an updated logo and a better representation/celebration of their legacy.

I doubt they will care but I gave them shit for that.

I don't think current Sega is a bad company. They're mostly just another generic publisher now. It's not possible to recreate the same group of people with the market conditions of the '80s and '90s. And even if new Sega were to focus all their efforts on their old franchises, that wouldn't be in the spirit of old Sega anyway. Throughout their hardware years, they frequently put aside or abandoned IP to make new stuff. That's why they had such a huge variety of content.

That said, I wouldn't mind if they gave Griptonite another shot at one of their old franchises, though. Shinobi on 3DS plays great. It's too bad it (I assume) was quickly ported from DS so the graphics ended up being weak and turning people off.

Sadly won't happen.

Griptonite became part of Glu Mobile and one of the developers left to form Crazy Viking Studios, which made Volgarr the Viking. Volgarr is good stuff, though.
