Sega: No plans on getting back into console business

After today’s news that Sega had filed a trademark for what some thought could be a Dreamcast 2, we were cautiously optimistic that Sega might get back into the hardware business. Well, it doesn’t look like it’s happening according to  Charlie Scibetta, Sega of America’s PR director.
He told GameDaily that Sega “has no plans to […]

Rumour: Dreamcast 2 on its way, as Sega file new Dreamcast trademarks?

Well now this is something that hasn’t been heard for a long time, the greatly fabled (but much wanted), Dreamcast 2.
However, there is, apparently, a good reason for why this rumour is being dragged up from the depths of Sega fans tears and broken dreams.
It seems that Sega has recently trademarked the Dreamcast name.  Interestingly, the […]

Dreamcast-Scene to celebrate Dreamcasts 9th birthday in style

 
Yes, it’s the 9th year of the Dreamcasts life, as we ALL know, the Dreamcast is not dead… Shhh! You. Quiet at the back!
Well, we could argue whether or not it’s ‘alive’ till the cows come home, but that won’t be very productive, now would it?
The point being, it was some 9 years ago, on […]

Retro Re-view: Sonic in 3D (part 2)

Right, so, Sonic on the Saturn? Not so great. Some cool stuff sprinkled here and there, to be sure. But any groundbreaking titles?

Can’t you feel the sunshine?

Outstanding musical scores by Richard Jacques aside, not so much. But on the Dreamcast? Well that, my friends, is a different story…

Now introducing… a new Dreamcast game!

[youtube width=”400″ height=”335″]kFtIxc-Ms9Y[/youtube]
And this time it’s not a crappy puzzle game (though they are fun), nor is it yet another scrolling shoot ‘em up, which may also be fun, but having about an endless stream of them released in the last few years, is a tad overkill.
As I say, it is none of these, it […]

New Street Fighter HD download to be built using Dreamcast coding

It seems that Capcom are pretty proud of their Dreamcast Street Fighter games, as they are using the code, to help build the new Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (Is it me, or are these titles getting longer…?) 0r ‘SFHD’ for short.
“That was done because the DC (Japanese version) code is easier to work with, […]

Rumour: Skies of Arcadia 2 really coming?

I’ll start this post by stating that even I am very dubious about this “news.’”But with just a little ray of hope left in my heart, I feel compelled to write about the rumour anyway.
Gaming site 1UP.com is taking its news from EGM’s “Quatermann” rumour reports. The rumours confirm God of War 3 […]

TGS07: Seaman 2 hands-on impressions

One game that would be bound to get any Sega fan tingling, has got to be Seaman 2.  So, cunningly, Sega decided to hide the game away, with the DS and Wii titles, right next to Sonic Rush Adventure.  So, as you may imagine, the display for Seaman 2, was none too impressive - just […]
