Nier director Yoko Taro has finally gone mad with power and turned Sega fran꧋chises into anime girls as part of 🌜a new mobile game.

404 Game Re:set was just announced for iOS and Android in Japan. In this game, Sega is an evil corporation in a dystopian world, and its classic franchises have been anthropomorphized into anime girls. Virtua Fighter is a dark-haired woman in kunoichi dress. Virtua Cop is a lightgun-wielding gal in a heavy jacket. Out Run is a woman in a revealing, futuristic racing suit and engine-shaped jetpack. After Burner is a lady in a military jacket and jean shorts over… I guess that's a slings♛hot bikini?

has fully translated its store page, which offers just a few more details on what to expect.

The game ha🔯s only been announced for release in Japan, though in the mess of the automatically translated subtitles on the announcement video, there is mention of "multi-language distribution." The💟re are also hints that games from publishers besides Sega will be given the anime girl makeover.

A more direct translation of some of Y🍃oko Taro's comments comes to us via : "It’s a game that features Sega’s IP, so I thought Sega should😼 be in the game, but I didn’t think Sega would want to see a game that portrayed it well, so I portrayed it negatively."

This isn't the first time Sega has leveraged the inescapable draw of anime girls to liven up its old properties. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sega Hard Girls multimedia project reimagined old Sega hardware like the Mega Drive, Saturn, and Dreamcast as high schoolers. There was e🐈ven a 13-episode anime series.

I'm just browsing our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Dreamcast games and wondering - what would Seaman look like as an anime girl?
