Sega looking to publish more XBLA titles in 2012

email

Sega seems to have found a gold mine in republishing games from their golden days. The Xbox 360 has seen several classic titles come to Xbox Live Arcade. Several Sonic games from the Genesis console, Crazy Taxi, Daytona USA, Space Channel 5: Part 2 and so many more have seen great success. It comes as no surprise that the folks at Sega are looking to bring more fan favorites to XBLA. Producer Yosuke Okunari alluded to new titles in response to a fan tweet. The fan requested that the Japanese hit Spikeout be brought to XBLA. Okunari responded with a general ‘no comment’ on Spikeout, but mentioned that more XBLA titles would be released in 2012, including one that fans will consider “unexpected”. Thanks to @lifelower for the tip.
