Why did Sega change the name from Jet Set Radio to Jet Grind Radio for the US version of the game? Then why did day make the US version of Jet Set Radio Future, well, Jet Set Radio Future?  Wassup wit dat? |

I had heard it was named Jet Grind Radio because there was an actual "Jet Set" radio station, and people could sue for name infringment and shnit. But thats ALL I've heard. I have no idea why JSRF is JSRF.

Maybe if people heard the name jet set radio they wouldnt take notice....but possibly if they hear jet grind radio, they'd think "hmmm....grind, eh? Grinding is fun...I'll look into this 'jet grind radio game...." Thats my lame theory anyway....

I'm not too sure why they changed it, but I know they changed the name fairly close to the release in the US, because in the Official Dreamcast Magazine, in the US preview for the game, it was still being called Jet Set Radio, and in the demo of the game on one of the magazine's demo disks, Professor K shouts "Jet Set Radio".

I had heard what Y3RO had said, that there was aJet Set Radio station that had threatened to sue over name infringement. But by the the time JSRF was released, that radio station had already gone belly up.
At least that's the story I had heard. . . . .

Yup. Y3Ro Has a reasonable explenation....then again so does dynasty99. The word GRIND would get me int to buying the game, and so would the anime graphics. It all depends.  |
