I honestly still can’t believe Sega did that. Sadly less than a month later the Sega legal team took the project down and that was that, but the internet being a thing means it’s still easily available to download now, let alone back then when it was the talk of the retro gaming community. Streets of Rage: Remake, which was worked on for nearly 10 years, was finally released to the public in March 2011.
Also, a large pool of blood added, just to make sure you know the claws aren’t just for show! The super-large SOR1 boss sprites have been scaled down… a bit. Featuring all levels and enemies from all three games, plus a bunch of new stuff, it was a dream to play through, even after Sega’s legal team shut it down (*grumble, grumble*) The question is, now we have an official sequel, what’s this like to return to? Let’s find out!
The franchise was officially dead in Sega’s eyes, not even being included in Sega All-Stars Racing… Luckily for us a bunch of fans got together in 2011 and released an extremely polished and professionally made sequel / remake titled “Streets of Rage: Remake”. So the late 90s and 2000s were devoid of new Streets of Rage.
