Any hopes for a future Dreamcast revival have been shut down.

Permanently.

sad

I'm sure most of Dreamcast's best games have been ported/remade/will be eventually. Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 were, the Power Stone Saga is on PSP, Code:veronica is on Ps2, and GC.

I've got a buddy who has every single game for the NES on one disc for the Dreamcast. Lucky bastard.

pff.. people are modding the games that were made for dreamcast anyways...

like Marvel vs Capcom 2 with a Rhapsody soundtrack?.. totally awesome

but oh well.. if sega wants to spit on something that can possibly net them some pocket change then so be it

I wonder if it was the PS2 or the N64 that really kill the Dreamcast.

I still play the emulators every now and on my dream cast.

I would say Sony. Dreamcast couldn't even compete with Playstation, let alot PS2.

Dreamcast got an unfair fate, it was a wonderful system with some truley outstanding games.

It was poor marketing that did the system in.

I agree, I bought one years ago, about a month ago I rediscovered it, hooked the beast up, and played it for one night before it broke down on me.

SaTsuJiN

Agreed. I remember seeing only 1 game being marketed on TV and that was Shenmue. Dreamcast was years ahead of the competition but like XBOX 1 vs PS2... fan base plus not enough marketing took it down.

The Dreamcast was about twice as powerful as the Playstation2. Sega made the Dreamcast just to play games. I mean the Dreamcast could have had some of the best games of all time on their console.

sega burned some bridges with the early end of the saturn a lot of developers where in the middle of developing games when they pulled the plug on the saturn so most of them didn't support the dreamcast at all.

Dreamcast would have been great if the saturn didn't bomb so damn bad and working design would still be around.

The Saturn would have been great if Sega announced it. The Saturn just popped up into stores and no ONE knew it was coming out.

The saturn was really good I bought it on opening day and got all the good games and still play them today.

Dragon Force I and II
Grandia I
Xmen vs streetfighter
Shinging force III with the 2 imports
Sonic 3d Blast
command and conquer
nighter into dreams - most ground break game of that time.
Street fighter alpha 2
Panzer Dragoon saga
Shining the Holy Ark
Virtua Fighter 2
Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean
Panzer Dragoon
bomberman
blazing heros
Shining Wisdom

all they needed was better management to have better advertising.
