Jet Set Radio Making It's Way to iOS, PSVita, and Android
I'm sure quite a few people remember the unique game, Jet Set Radio, which was created by Smilebit, and released in 2000 on Sega's Dreamcast. We were lucky enough to see the title revived, and receive a HD port on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 earlier this year. Sega, who published the game in 2000, has announced today that they are also releasing the port on the PSVita, iOS phones, and Android phones on November 29th. No word on the price tag yet for any of the systems, but we will fill you in as soon as we know.
