Hi, ever since someone claiming to be working at Sega in January of 2007 said there were rumors going on that a new Sega machine called the Wave Limit was coming.Lets see, there has been a trademark re application years ahead of needing to be updated.Toshiro Nagoshi said that they now have a huge financial backing now that they are with Sammy.Yuji Naka said that he would like them to do a Dreamcast 2, he also said that he thought the new machines have come too early and that last gen could of been used up much more.I think he meant that the new games we have seen from the new machines have not been that good.
Imagine a worldwide launch of Dreamcast 2 on 9/9/09 with a price tag with a 99 at the end of say 499 a day that clearly no one will forget if this happens.Sega Dreamcast flopped due to it's bad launches in Japan, Europe and Australia due to shortages of games and a earlier than expected launch in Japan.Sega Saturn also flopped in America due to an earlier than expected launch but did ok in Japan, which resulted in not many games and the softest of softest launches ever.Sonic Adventure had bad camera angles for the Japanese launch but was fixed for the rest of the world.
So as you can see here if Sega machines just had a good launch everwhere all would of worked out.Imagine Shenmue 3, Sonic Adventure 3, Outrun 3, Jet Gring radio 3, Skies of Arcadia 2, Virtua Fighter 6, Panzer Dragoon Saga 2, Nights Journey of Dreams 2, Golenaxe canned for Xbox 360 and PS3 and going to SD2, Daytona USA 3 with Daytona USA 2, Ecco the Dolphin 2, Phantasy Star Universe 2, Fifth Phantom Saga canned for PS3 and Xbox 360 and going to DC2.Imagine being able to play your old Dreamcast and Saturn games and be able to download ones you never played.The best online experience i mean they made Phantasy Star online play really well for dial up imagine what they could do with the increasingly popular and advanced broadband.
It might also explain why they never officially said what Platform Shenmue 3 would be on,i mean Shenmue 3 is supposed to be so good what better way to be the top group in making game machines again than have this game a launch title.Even though Microsoft loses money on their machines and Sony does sometimes Nintendo never does.Sega can make a huge amount of money from peripherals anything from mp3 players to joysticks. they can easily regain being the top publisher as well as game developer as Sega will publish lots of games as it is their machine.
Sega Sammy has made Sega focus on more Western orientated content, and has made Sega comunicate as a whole rather than rivals like in the day of the Saturn and the Dreamcast that resulted in the 32x and Sega CD flopping, the 32x flopped as it was just made by the American arm and with the Sega CD they weren't really working together as a team as i said earlier they were like rivals.Remember when it was said that Yuji Naka didn't allow Sonix Xtreme to be released because Sega of America used his engine without his permission, i'm not saying that's what really happened but it does look that way, i mean they did release that awfull crap Sonic the hedgehog game on PS3 and Xbox 360.
Sega also spent money on having an extra machine being made because of this rivalry which resulted in the American version of the Dreamcast to be axed, imagine what they could of achieved if they worked together.
Dreamcast 2 for a 9/9/09 release please.
