Jet Set Radio returns for next-generation systems in 2012, with a slew of new features.

This page will cover content exclusive to this remaster.

Dreamcast Leftovers

The PC release contains most (if not all) of the files from the original release for all languages, including the How To Play screen featuring a Dreamcast controller, the three-option title screen graphics (with the Jet Grind Radio logo in the US title screen directory), and the voice clip of Combo calling out "Jet Grind Radio".

Unused Graphics

Sprays

• 
• 
• 

Found only in the Sega Heritage version, these icons are located in the file "GRF_SAMSUNG.AFS". Given their locations and original file names, they appear to be intended to be used as sprays, despite their content and lack of utilized space making them unsuitable for such a purpose. They seem to be designed as icons for media functions, but why they appear in a graffiti archive or Jet Set Radio in the first place is a mystery.

Differences from the Dreamcast Version

This version of the game is based on De La Jet Set Radio with even more changes:

• The original Jet Set Radio naming and logo from the European version is brought back.
• The game is now available in all languages, including Japanese.
• The characters' Japanese katakana textures follow their Japanese naming scheme rather than their localized names.
• The songs and sounds now play in better quality, with the exception of the voice clips and sound effects. That said, some of the songs don't loop properly.
• The game can display at 1080p and higher with a 16:9 aspect ratio in most circumstances except for the graffiti editor and music player.
• Bonus songs from Jet Set Radio Future are available to unlock via the Extras menu.
• The Seganet option was replaced with options to view leaderboards and achievements/trophies.
• A new documentary on the development of the original game, The Rude Awakening, is included.
• The songs "Yappie Feet" by Daevid Soul and "Many Styles" by O.B. One were removed for licensing reasons.
  • Additionally, the song "Dunny Boy Williamson Show" by Daevid Soul does not return from the original Japanese release, despite Sega stating on their official blog that it would.
• Some bugs are present, like the pedestrians still having Japanese voice clips.
