Ever since Sega announced Sega Ages i have been hoping for CLASSIC Sega arcade classics to be remade for Vr! Imagine Outrun in Vr ! Space Harrier in Vr, Crazy Taxi and this list could carry on and on.
While where at it please Sega bring Jetsetradio Outrun 2 or even 3 to switch along with Crazy taxi, and many more of your many other classics PLEASE!

How do you go about letting Sega know we want these on VR and switch???

What is everybody else wanting from Sega still???

Okay but what if Sega gives M2 the greenlight to basically recreate their cabinet experiences on the 3DS in VR? So you're still technically playing Outrun in 2D, but you're sitting in a deluxe cabinet in VR.

That's the kind of nonsense I am down for.

I'd want them in two modes - like that fake operation wolf VR game. So you can be 'in' the game<but also play it as a flat arcade game I your choice of cab.

Yes!

Gimme an entire arcade full of Sega cabinets that I can wander around in VR and admire before picking one to sit down at.

Step by step. Gimme Virtua Racing on Switch first.

Anyway IDK why Sega doesn't give a serious try to VR based arcade bussiness even though they tried to use the early VR tech in the 90.

A VR Daytona USA or VR Ferrari 355 Challenge 3 would be awesome

I'd love their classics in VR but even stuff that they've published would be amazing like Alien Isolation.

They could even repurpose the Yakuza arcade assets if they wanted to! šŸ˜‚ Even with the Switch version available I still enjoy playing Outrun on 3DS every now and then for some of the additional features that didn't make the jump. I got real used to hearing the emulated cabinet sounds on the 3DS version to the point my brain will sometimes play the sound of the wheel thunking against its side. That's the kind of stuff that could make a VR arcade experience really pop.

I'd love to have VR remakes of Sega's library but just imagine for a second that they've never even released Daytona USA 2 for home consoles. OK maybe the Daytona name gets in the way somehow even though they've made a new Daytona recently... What about Sega Super GT?

Sega has tens of millions of dollars just sitting around rotting. I don't expect them to do anything as awesome as VR remakes... ever.

Planet Harrier, any HOTD game that puts you in the game, even a cabinet mode to take advantage of modern VR tracking in lieu of light guns...

Think Sega Super GT/Scud racer faces the same issues as a lot of their best arcade games: licensing. The Ferrari/Porsche/Lotus licenses were useless in the context of an arcade game (GTA style ripoffs would have worked just as well), but completely ruin the ability to do re-releases for licensing purposes.

Same with Afterburner Climax. These licenses benefited the game how? It's an arcade shooter... not some realistic sim. All it did was create licensing messes.

Afterburner Climax is pretty cool just playing it on a large virtual screen on Vive. Can't imagine how spectacular it would be in 360 VR with 3D.

This idea was already tossed around with M2 but it was determined that the audience for retro games and the audience for VR doesn't have much overlap.
