It might be a long time until we see another Jet Set Radio game, but there is something to tide fans over. Coming from Korea is Street Gears from nflavor. Street Gears doesn’t have the tagging part of Jet Set Radio, but the style of the game seems heavily inspired by Sega’s series.

So far Street Gears is only announced for Korea. However, many Korean games have been popping up in North America care of ijji and other game portals. Perhaps someone will read about this and localize Street Gears into English. Or… if and this is a huge if Street Gears gets really successful there is always a chance for a PSP/DS port. It's not that unusual with popular PC games. Maple Story and Ragnarok Online have portable ports in development. Audition Online has a PSP port too and if that can get a release than anything can.
