Sega To License Out Properties
 September 27th, 2004 (12:00am) - Sega of America announced today that they’ll be licensing out several of their properties to Western developers. Those licensed properties include the following:
House of the Dead
NiGHTS
Golden Axe
Virtua Cop
Streets of Rage
Shinobi
Crazy Taxi
Altered Beast A source says "Sega of America has pitched the concept of westernising these franchises. So the ITTs have been given solely to studios in the States and Europe. The idea is to broaden the appeal of some under-exploited IP or to achieve greater sales of certain franchises outside of Japan.” Also, developer Traveller’s Tales is in talks with Sega about creating a new game based on a series not included in the list above.
