Sega Announces Plans For Multiple Remakes & Remasters This Year
It appears that Sega has plans to honor its history with what seems like a long-term goal to remaster (and possibly remake) some of its older IPs.

These remasters also cater to fans who played Sega classics at launch and have voiced their desire to play them again on newer hardware. It’s a business practice that seems to work for Sega and pleases its fans all the same.
