    Dreamcast

    Platform »

    The Dreamcast is the fifth and final console developed by Sega and the first of the sixth-generation of consoles to release. As the first 128-bit system, it was the first to offer truly arcade-quality 3D graphics. It is famous for being the first console to include worldwide online capability, its game library, and its unexpectedly short life span.

    Should this year anniversary be a huge deal?

    I know it's early, but  this year's anniversary of the Dreamcast launch marks the tenth anniversary of the beloved system. So I was wondering, should this year anniversary be a huge deal? A bigger deal than how it was in previous anniversary.

    Why would it be a big deal? It was a great console and all, but it's time is done. It would be a big deal if they announced a Dreamcast 2 though.

    Sega should celebrate the anniversary with a brand new game for 9/9/09: Sonic's Ultimate Dreamcast Collection! Give me the Sonic Adventure games, Shenmue, Power Stone games, Crazy Taxi games, etc....I'd love me a good Dreamcast collection. Mmmmm, tastes good.

    That's actually a good idea, and yea, they do need to keep the horrible name. But no the anniversary shouldn't be a big deal. I don't like to celebrate failure.

    I would like for it to be a bigger deal than the other anniversary seeing how it's the tenth one. It would be cool to see interviews of Sega, Capcom, or any other company that worked on games for the system,  talking about their time developing games for the Dreamcast.

    It would be better to see that than people talk about the Dreamcast for a short amount time on a podcast....

    YES. The Dreamcast 2 is coming, and Rock Band Beatles will be an exclusive for it. Come on guys, Sega did this with the Saturn already.

    True. The funny thing is I had  a fake Dreamcast 2 promo on some special day for SEGA and got a couple people to believe that there would
    be a Dreamcast 2 production. I even had a fake link from the official SEGA website and got some people to go there and say it was real. That was funny.

    Yeah, I would like to see SEGA do something with it but i've given up hope with them doing anything good so i'm expecting 9/9/09 to fly by with maybe a different home page on the SEGA website or something.

    That's a......GREAT idea!! Seriously, I think you are on to something about this. That would even trump the Genesis Collection. Now, let's make this happen.....

    I would be down with that, but it's very unlikely. Power Stone is Capcom developed ;)

    I would love a new Dreamcast release from SEGA, for the original console.

    I say in celebration of 9/9/09, we stop posting on the internet and pull out our dreamcasts (or just play them if you have it hooked up).  or list links to Dreamcast related articles.

    I know it was done to death but I would definitely buy an XBLA version of Craxy Taxi and maybe Shenmue, hell we should all revive the idea of bringing Sega's Dreamcast library to the XBLA, that would be fucking sweet.

    Because Dreamcast games are not meant to be played on that controller.  Seriously, the Xbox controller is an improved version of the Dreamcast controller.

    Just one more mouth! I've found out that Sega celebrated the 20TH anniversary of the Genesis - they're celebrating by posting a poll about which Genesis game should hit XBLA. 
     
    Though I think Sega suck balls for only having it available on XBLA and not on other platforms like PSN, and also, fuck 3rd party exclusives. 
     
    Also, check this out.

    I just found out that Sega is not going to celebrate the Dreamcast in the same way as the Genesis. 
     
    It sucks that Sega is pretty much acting like that had nothing to do with the Dreamcast. Sure it was a failure in the end, but it left a really good legacy.
