Dreamcast 2 in the works?

My guess is we'll see Dreamcast games downloadable on the 360?PS3. I think they're looking WAY to much into this. VideoGameGuy

I think we'd see that happen on wii since we already see Sega Genesis games on the Virtual console. although dreamcast games wouldn't fit on the wii. We can dream though.

Something tells me this will be a handheld that will be compatible with the dreamcast one games and all other seaga systems and i have a feeling that microsoft is backing them also so expect downloadable games over a marketplace....and if microsoft was backing them expect to see xbox one games on there as well.......now that would be a handheld that i would buy.thermovie644064

O god, if that happened I would cry every night out of pure joy.

*Waits for Panzer_Zwei to shoot down this rumor and say again that Sega is not coming back to the console race.*Blue-Sphere

Yeah it makes alot of since backing sega with a dreamcast handheld would help Microsoft get in the handheld market and because it would have the dreamcast name on it i would do alot better out side the us then an xbox handheld.

I thought sega was bought out by nintendo???Killfox

How sweet it would be.

The Dreamcast, the Xbox and a Nintendo console cohexisting together in perfect harmony...

...once Sony drops out of the console business.:)

Cool!!!!

I doubt this is true. And the way sega's been developing recently, i hope it isn't. They need to get their games back on track before they try another consoleBuryMe

I honestly dont see anything new that sega would bring to the table if they enterd the race again. Only hardcore fan sega fans would by that console and I doubt casuals even knew that sega has consoles in the past.

To me it would be a big waste of money and it will end up like the N-gage

SEGA doesn't have a lot of funds, even with SAMMY as their parent company. They're making a lot of profits, but they don't have Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft money. The fact that they are renewing the DREAMCAST name should tell you that a new console is not coming. SEGA creates original names for their consoles. Master System, Genesis/Mega Drive, Game Gear, Saturn, Dreamcast. No continuity. At the very most this is just a re-release of the Dreamcast, much like Pelican accessories re-released a newer version of the NES and SNES (the FC Game Console and the FC Twin). Even at that I doubt it. SmashBrosLegend

They already re-released it in Japan a few years ago, guess its our turn? either way I'd buy a new dreamcast hopefully bundled with some games for a good deal. Maybe update the modem to wifi or ethernet though.

This would be an instant fail, unless it could up with some great exclusives at launch AND launch with PS4 and xbox720 and NOT before

Simply not happening

Wow. That would be awesome if the games are as good as the original DC. PLEASE let this be true!Dantheman130

Well, those gamers were FEW, if we get another GC this gen, i will simply go pc, 3 consoles are already too much

I think it's just to protect the Dreamcast name. Nothing more to be had from mere speculation.Zhengi

Yeah, I agree. I don't think they'd be able to compete if they launched another console.

I hope not unless one of the three console makes drops out because it breaks the 3 console rule Miles0T0Prower

As far as i'm concerned the wii isn't competing for the same market so 3 console rule is still open.

Seeing as PS3 and XBOX 360 are all most exactly the same in hardware and share most of there games, I welcome a DC 2 cause atleast it would be something different next to the Wii and the 2 clones PS360. Thats assuming sega wouldn't copy every idea off Wii an 360 and make there own unique console instead..

The PS3 isnt doing too good, it needs a replacement such as the the Dreamcast 2... Not that is stands chance in hell of happening.. Where in gods name do you think Sega is getting the money from to make a new console after going bankrupt from the DC 1.

I'd Rather see a console made by apple in the market.

[QUOTE="majin_vegeta300"]

Games are still being made for it in Japan, I think that's why they're holding on to it.

fastrozombies

For microsoft that makes alot of since for sega it does also if there games are selling well on the DS then what makes you think they wont sell good on there own handheld just think about it. That could be why they are making lots of games for the DS to test the Market.

They could only fit in if someone else dropped out. And because of Microsoft 's and Sony's amazing financial backings they won't so that leaves Nintendo but because of recent success thats highly unlikely.meetroid8

What with Microsoft pumping more money into their next operating system Windows 7 and their other computer programs and the amount of lawsuits they are fighting off with regards Vista and XP, I could see Microsoft dropping out of the console market and supplying an os for a new console (like they did for the orignal dreamcast. Remember Windows CE powered many of the games for the original DC). Microsoft are also concentrating more and more on the os market, what with Linux eating away at its share of the market and since Intel processors are now used in Macs they are now competeing against Apple aswell. If someone does pull out of the console market it will be Microsoft more than either Sony or Nintendo.

I still play MSR (Metropolis Street Racer) on the dreamcast (Project Gotham Racer was based on it) and would love to see Sega release a new console and it is possible considering that they have the funds from the third-party devs they currently have, plus the money from the arcade machine market. But before we get our hopes up Sega would have to develop,or buy, an OS for any new console before they return to the console market

LOL, it would take alot more than that for Microsoft to become financially insecure.

Imagine if Shenmue III was a launch game.PelekotansDream

If that were the case, they would have my money on launch day.

I think Sega will be back with new console, but the question is, when?
