Jet Set Radio Goes Handheld with the PS Vita This Summer

The skate-n-tag icon is coming out this summer for the Playstation Vita, but first Jet Set Radio will premiere at e3 next week.

"Jet Set Radio is an updated version of the celebrated SEGA Dreamcast original, featuring upgraded HD visuals paired with the original funky soundtrack that rocked the ears of gamers worldwide in 2000. The PlayStation Vita's unique features provide new ways for gamers to interact with the environments of Tokyo-to, from touch functionality that makes spraying graffiti more natural to Vita camera integration. Jet Set Radio for PlayStation Vita is a handheld version that loses nothing in the way of content or experience in comparison with its console and PC brethren.

'The fan reaction to our recent reveal of Jet Set Radio has been incredible!' said Haruki Satomi, Senior Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA. 'As Jet Set Radio is focused on creativity, the touch capabilities of the PlayStation VITA are proving to be a perfect fit.'"

Like the original Dreamcast version, there'll be the option to create your own tags, which featured a contest held earlier this month for some added in-game content.

Radio will drop for the Vita, Playstation Store and Xbox Live later this summer.
