I hope Sega does a decent job with this one. Even if the port to HD wouldn't be as good as expected, hopefully it should at least gain more attention for those never heard or had a chance to play this before.
Other than some rough edges by today's standards, I still think this game still looks great. It was one of, if not, the first, fully cel-shaded game.
And on another topic, after all this time, why the **** hasn't Sega given Chu Chu Rocket the XBLA/PSN download treatment? I mean come on, the game is pretty simple and totally perfect for this medium! If they can do OutRun and Daytona online versions, why not this?
