Jet Set Radio skates onto iOS and Android later this year

While news of a Jet Set Radio HD remake for consoles was revealed earlier this year, fans of the original Jet Grind Radio on Sega Dreamcast and Jet Set Radio Future on Xbox now have even more to be excited about: Sega has announced that Jet Set Radio is also coming to iOS and Android!

Fans of the graffiti game(s) won't have to worry about the jump to mobile either, as the game is set to include the same gameplay, soundtrack and cel-shaded art style as the current console versions, along with Retina display support for iOS devices and OpenFeint integration. We'll even be able to share our achievements with friends via the game's Facebook connectivity, or use our own pictures as in-game graffiti.
