When SEGA published World Series Baseball and World Series Baseball 2K3, they still owned Visual Concepts and had the rights to develop officially licensed Major League Baseball games. But weirder things have happened (*ahem Shenmue 3), so who knows what the future might hold, right? World Series Baseball 2K3 Because SEGA isn’t a current Ferrari licensee, they unfortunately can’t legally bring Coast 2 Coast to the Xbox One.

You see, SEGA lost the Ferrari license back in 2010 and was forced to remove OutRun 2006: C2C and Outline Online Arcade from all digital stores. Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast was one of my favorite Xbox games, and it’s a damn shame that this game won’t be added to the Xbox One’s backwards compatibility list due to licensing issues. Yeah, PSO 2 will never come, and that also means PSO Episode I & II will never come either. This has been going on for nearly five years, and every E3, its fans are filled with hope that this just might be the year SEGA announces it’ll come. Wanna know how much they hate them? How about the fact that SEGA hasn’t officially declared that PSO 2 is cancelled in the West and will never see the light of day. Look, I don’t know if you’ve heard but SEGA of America hates Phantasy Star Online and hates people who play PSO even more. Naturally, this brings up a logical question: What SEGA games could we realistically see on the service? Before we try to answer that, let’s take a look at all the SEGA games on the original Xbox.īefore we get to the games that we think could have a shot at coming, let’s look at the ones that probably won’t, for whatever reason. Xbox boss Phil Spencer sent the audience into a tizzy today when he announced that original Xbox games would soon be backwards compatible with the Xbox One during Microsoft’s E3 2017 media briefing.Ĭrimson Skies will be the first game coming to Xbox One later this year, and Spencer promised that all original Xbox games will see improvements on Xbox One.
