"Sega has something big in the works, but they aren’t letting on as to what it is. Managing Director Hideki Okamura said that Sega has plans to release a big title that will surprise everyone, and Japan will see it before the end of the year. No information was given on the title, and no specific platform was announced either…so we are left to speculate. A Ristar sequel is what I want, but I don’t think that would be very big!"

:lol Charlette's Web 2

Please be a true sequel to Shining Force III  :'( . It probably isn't seeing as they are probably referring to a more mainstream series.

SEGA ANNOUNCES 'LOST LEVELS COLLECTION' CONSISTING OF NiGHTS 2.0, SHENMUE III, RISTAR: PLANETS ALIGNED AND DUKE NUKEM FOREVER

TOKYO, Japan - SEGA had leaked to the press that they were planning a surprise title, but none expected a collection of classic, unreleased gems that many gamers speculated would never see the light of day.  Managing Director Hideki Okamura referred to the new release as the Lost Levels Collection, a tongue-in-cheek reference to all the of titles' lengthy production cycles.

The crowd gasped as Okamura carefully displayed each game in the collection via a live Internet broadcast, starting with the long awaited NiGHTS 2.0 and ending with the biggest surprise of them all - Duke Nukem Forever.  Duke Nukem Forever, a notoriously titled piece of "vaporware" is not even a SEGA property, and its journey to joining the likes of SEGA was an odd one.  "We originally joked around that we should include Duke Nukem Forever considering the theme of the collection," said Hideki Okamura, "Then one of our executives had lunch with another at Take-Two and shared the joke. At first, they laughed, but then it was decided that this would be a great opportunity to release the game in this format.  Apparently, it had been done for years, but was aging so badly that Take-Two shelved it."

The other announcement that sent shockwaves through the industry was the inclusion of Shenmue III, which is apparently unfinished and will not resolve the series' epic storyline.  "We talked with Yu, who has washed his hands from the project, and he just wanted the playable stuff released.  We are tinkering with having another development studio tack on an ending that is loosely based on the ending written by Yu.  But if it takes too long, this collection might be delayed! [Okamura laughs]"

To cap off the epic announcement, SEGA announced that it will be releasing the Lost Levels Collection exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, disappointing fans of rival videogame consoles.  "The Wii has firmly planted itself both in Japan and abroad as the market leader," said Okamura, "And we are in the business of making money.  The ability to use the Wii controller to bring all of these anticipated games to fans in a new, innovative way is just a bonus."

SEGA says the Lost Levels Collection will hit store shelves in time for Christmas, with a MSRP of $59.99.

I think it's going to be Rez 2. Mizuguchi's been friendly with Sega recently.

A 3d Ristar game would lick balls. Rez 2 for Wii is what EVERYONE whats to play, really

A traditional RPG produced and directed by Rieko Kodama herself. Bonus points if it's a Phantasy Star or Skies of Arcadia sequel. That would pretty much be the only thing to give me back faith in SEGA.
