De La Jet Set Radio (デ・ラ・ジェット セット ラジオ, De Ra Jetto Setto Rajio^?) is a re-release of Jet Set Radio in Japan. The re-release is practically a repackaging of the PAL release of Jet Set Radio rather than Jet Grind Radio, as content from it such as songs by the European exclusive artists (Featurecast, O.B. One, & Semi Detached) are present in the game rather than the American rock artists that were added in Jet Grind Radio.

Notable changes

• Easier to pick up gameplay compared to the original Japanese release.
• Includes additional music from the international releases of Jet Set Radio, along with the PAL exclusive songs specifically for chapter 2.
  • Added music:
    • "Yappie Feet" by Deavid Soul.
    • "Improvise" by the Jurassic 5.
    • "Patrol Knob" by Mix Master Mike.
    • "Recipe for the Perfect Afro" by Featurecast.
    • "Many Styles" by O.B. One.
    • "Funky Plucker!" by Semi Detached.
  • Removed songs: "Dunny Boy Williamson Show" by Deavid Soul.
• Includes the two additional levels from the NTSC and PAL versions of Jet Set Radio.
• Two extra characters were made playable as well.
• In-game text is displayed in whichever language the Dreamcast console is set to.

Development

According to Masayoshi Kikuchi, the team decided to reimport the international version of Jet Set Radio due to it being the beginning of the 21st century according to Takayuki Kawagoe. Due to the January 1 release date, the game was sold online initially as many stores were closed in Japan that day, but would eventually get a packaged release later on.

Before the name was settled on De La Jet Set Radio, the re-release was tentatively called Jet Set Radio Deluxe.
