Sega classics racing to the Switch

Having been on pretty much every other console, why not the Switch? Ever since Sega dumped the Dreamcast, it has tried to develop its brands on other platforms with limited love or success.

Sonic is a shadow of his former self, Virtua Racing and Fighter have long been dormant, and partner studios titles like Football Manager and Total War have kept the company going, along with the odd Yakuza hit.

Shenmue was perhaps its last chance at rebuilding the Sega brand, but while critically acclaimed, it doesn't look like sales are all that great. So, back to flogging off the classics! There's Space Harrier, Altered Beast, Streets of Rage and many more.
