Interview with SEGA Guy In a interview with Nintendo Power, Sega's President, Simon Jeffrey talks about what they thought about the Revolution and it sounds good. When asked if any of Sega's franchise, like Panzer Dragoon and Shinobi, might reach the Revolution, Jeffrey said that Sega will definately look into it. "I think we're really looking at which of our classic IPs are appropriate for different platforms," said Jeffrey, "We're very interested in Revolution at the moment. We obviously haven't made any announcements, but we, like other people, are talking with Nintendo about what Revolution will be, about potential opportunities on Revolution," says Sega's President, Simon Jeffrey. They also talked about rising development costs for next-gen software, and Jeffrey says Nintendo may see increased third-party support for the Revolution, but however, he said Revolution's design and interface might scare off developer. "I think it depends how Nintendo rolls out its third-party relations," said Jeffrey, "We're very excited about the prospects of Revolution, because, like we were talking about earlier, the Nintendo platforms have been great for Sonic and the classic franchises. We think Revolution can absolutely be the same." Jeffrey says, "If Nintendo does choose a different model than Sony and Microsoft, then it might be very difficult for some third parties to adopt this three-pronged, multi-platform approach."
Nintendo Power asked Jeffrey if any past Sega game can be downloaded on the Revolution, then he said it was a good idea, but nothing is in works.
