Tell them what you really think

Sega as a company has a long and fascinating in the realm of developing and creating games where its gone through multiple changes to its name, business practices and ownership culminating in one of the most robust video game libraries in the world.

With its 60th anniversary quickly approaching in early June, Sega has already been putting in motion some celebrations though now they're asking fans and the general public what they think about the company right now.

The Go Sega 60th anniversary website is now updated to include a message to the company page in which pretty much anyone can tell the makers of Sonic how they really feel.

There's little instruction as to what Sega is really asking for here, so this isn't necessarily a call to see what they should do with properties like Virtua Fighter, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi or anything else — but it might be the best we'll get for now.

Virtua Fighter itself has completely sat out this entire console generation with the last release in the series coming in 2012 though it has made some appearances in the Yakuza games with VF5 Final Showdown being playable in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life.

So what are you supposed to do then? Well, after heading to the page containing the message submission form, you'll get to select a nickname and icon to choose from ranging from Sega's various video game franchises like House of the Dead, Sonic, Phantasy Star, Space Channel 5 or even the company's arcade machines and consoles.

From there, simply tell Sega how you really feel in 140 characters or less and hit submit. The site itself is in Japanese, but they encourage answering in English as well.

These fan messages will then appear on the anniversary website on June 3, 2020, the day Sega was founded back in 1960.

To commemorate the occasion, Sega will also be giving away 60 Go Sega leather engraved chalk bags.

A former mascot for the company has been revived as well for a new generation too with Sega Shiro stepping up to fill in for his father's footsteps as Segata Sanshiro — and actually portrayed by Hiroshi Fujioka's son, Maito.

Some had thought the teaser image of Segata Sanshiro for the anniversary may have been a hint at a future Virtua Fighter project, but it quickly became apparent that was not the case after all.

You can fill out the message to Sega form on the company's website, and check out Sega Shiro's second commercial below detailing his origin story.
