Tune into Jet Set Radio

New details have emerged about Jet Set Radio HD. Originally for the Dreamcast, this version of the game will feature 70% of the original Dreamcast music and the extra levels seen in the US version of the game.

Expect to be able to download it for consoles and PC soon. Related: SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection review, Sega Mega Drive Classics Collection review
