He talks about the future of various SEGA properties including: Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Shining Force, Panzer Dragoon, Golden Axe, Valkyria Chronicles, Yakuza and... Shenmue!
He says there has been various attempts at Streets of Rage and that they recognise the Yakuza fanbase [possible hint for localization?].
However, he says that there is "no plans that he knows of, at this time" for the Shenmue brand.
Just to elaborate: Ethan Einhorn is the Head of SEGA Online Operations, formerly Producer on many SEGA games over the years.
