It is June 29 2022 as I write this…and which means just one factor: it is precisely 22 years since Jet Set Radio was first unleashed on the world. Yep, on June 29 2000 Beat, Gum and Corn et al erupted onto the scene, taking over Poison Jam, the Love Shockers and Noise Tanks whereas grooving on right down to the soothing choons pumped out by pirate radio DJ Professor Okay.
You might have a good time this occasion by enjoying Jet Set Radio. You might additionally have a good time by enjoying Jet Grind Radio. Or you possibly can fireplace up your Xbox and play Jet Set Radio Future…however that may be pointless contemplating this anniversary is reserved for the unique Dreamcast title’s Japanese launch. Soz.
One different approach you possibly can present your assist for the cel shaded graffiti spraying hooligans of Smilebit’s magnum opus (no, it categorically is not 90 Minutes) is by heading over to the SEGA Store and trying out a number of the attention-grabbing merchandise they’ve on supply.Â
Personally I am not an enormous fan of the TUBBZ ‘cosplaying duck’ factor they’ve on the market (severely, what even is that?); however a number of the different stuff emblazoned with JSR coolness is definitely fairly…cool?
There’s a few wearable objects within the type of an formally licensed t-shirt and hoody, and a pleasant pin set. The merchandise that does it for me although is the licensed water bottle that mimics the look of the paint cans that it is advisable acquire within the precise recreation. Certainly, the blurb on the location says:
“Getting as much as mischief in Fukuoka will definitely depart you thirsty! Why not hydrate your self with this unbelievable Jet Set Radio Spray Can Water Bottle? The design of this water bottle is predicated on Beat’s trademark graffiti spray can.“
Fairly. So now you’ll be able to reply the decision of Tokyo-To (to not be confused with the Name of Cthulhu underneath any circumstances) by filling an formally licensed Jet Set Radio receptacle with Frosty Jack cider and getting severely contemporary whereas spraying celebratory graffiti everywhere in the metropolis of Milwaukee. Really, do not do this. Head to the SEGA Retailer as an alternative and see if any of this licenced guff takes your fancy.
