For those of you excited about the upcoming HD remake of Sega's 2000 smash hit, Jet Set Radio, you'll most certainly be happy with the current announcement that the American, Japanese and European soundtracks are all secured and coming in the modern re-release.

Only two of the 30 original tracks are still missing- Deavid Soul's "Yappie Feet" and O.B. One's "Many Styles", which is a bit of a downer for those fans who would like the entire soundtrack the same, but at least Sega have quelled the fears about most of the song licenses not being viable for the HD release.

Get ready to kick it old school in Shibuya-cho in the streets of Tokyo-to and bop your head to the eclectic array of J-Pop, Hip-Hop, Rock, Acid Jazz, Trip-Hop and Metal that got players crazy way back in 2000, in HD glory on PC, Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network.

An exact release still is still unannounced, only that players can look forward to it this Summer, which means any time from June to the end of August for all of us Down Under.

Haha no problem, I'm pretty excited for this HD release as well. I was too young to appreciate these kinds of games when it came out back in 2000. Also I was a Nintendo fanboy and didn't own a Playstation, so that didn't help either. :P

Soundtrack is great though, such a diverse mix. The hip-hop songs are the standouts in my opinion.

Is Jet Set Radio Future the sequel? Or is it that update that was released on the original Xbox?
