Sega Rereleases Boarder Down on Dreamcast!
Posted by Ryan. Filed under News, Ryan. Tagged with Dreamcast.
Earlier today we reported that the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis isn’t quite dead yet all these years later a new game will release on our beloved old friend console. Well I’m happy to report that Sega doesn’t think the Dreamcast is dead yet either!
That’s right, Sega have decided that they want to rerelease Border Down on the Dreamcast, The game which is a Shmup (shoot em up) developed by G-rev was originally released on the Sega NAOMI Arcade board and later ported to the Dreamcast.
It appears the game will be available on the Dreamcasts GD-Rom disks and I assume will come in a DVD style case. It will probably be available from Sega Direct and other Japanese Import websites.
The game will be available from January 17th, 2008. At the price of 7,140 yen.
Is it just me or has Sega’s badass level stepped up a notch today? An official Dreamcast game rerelease, a new Genesis Game, Awesome marketing from SoE and a great patch for VF5! Somethings very wrong, But I like it!

So I just converted the price, it’s about 70 dollars for a DC game… What the fuck?
I was expecting about 30. This is more than a new game on 360/PS3 even.

I wonder how they’re re-releasing on DC. I thought all the gd-ROM factories had ceased production. Did Sega keep a single pressing machine up and running somewhere? You know, just in case they wanted to release something like this.
