Title: Dreamcast, not dead!
Post by: Saucer on January 11, 2004, 10:00:26 pm
Every day, I see more and more evidence that Dreamcast truly is not dead after all. Though Sega announced in 2001 that they would be discontinuing production of the Dreamcast console, a steady trickle of games has continued to come out none the less. King of Fighters 2000-2002, Ikaruga, Border Down and Sega's own Dreamcast Classics rerelease series. And as if this year's promise of Psyvariar 2 wasn't enough, Alfa Systems finally caved into fan demands and are releasing Castle of Shikigami 2 (http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3254) on Dreamcast in March. Previously released to PS2 and Gamecube. Screenshots! (http://www.lik-sang.com/image.php?category=4&products_id=4114&img=dc-shikigaminoshiro2-jap) And we have our friends at Dreamcast Scene (http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/) to thank for their tireless effort! Looks like good things to come in 2004?

The Dreamcast was always a pretty good system... if some of the folks at Sega had half a clue about marketing, it might still be with us. *chuckles*

This is good news, though-- even if it means I might lose a bet (the last game I said I would buy was Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike... and now it looks like that might not be it :D ).
