Sega's mascots and its cult figures are handled with an exquisite care: on seeing Sumo's recreation of Skies of Arcadia, the game's original producer was reportedly moved close to tears. When, on the third and final lap of a race within the world of Arcadia, the village crumbles away and all the racers take to the sky to dart between battling galleons, there may well be others who can't hold the waterworks back.
Blur, the ill-fated racer that's another of Wilson's games, makes an even bigger impression. Weapons interplay in a lattice that's easy to grasp and a pleasure to unwind: ice shots, superficially an alternative to standard green shells, can be used to pop the blow-fish that are All-Stars Racing Transformed's answer to bananas, while the glove that acts as a shield can catch incoming attacks before flinging them back. It's so gratifying to see the brilliant combat of Blur, sadly obscured by matters out of the game's own hands, finally finding a fitting home.
The love-in runs so deep I was half-expecting Segata Sanshiro to make an appearance - I didn't spot him, sadly, but the final unlockable cameo that I'll leave you to discover yourself is perhaps even sweeter.

I was tempted by the WiiU one but am more interested in the multiplayer and I doubt too many people would have it.
