Dreamcast 2 worldwide launch on 9/9/09!

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.Dreamcast 2 worldwide launch on 9/9/09!
I wish it would. If only Microsoft would leave the market for them to return. Plus if they did return it would not be the same. Mario and Sonic arefriends now. It seems silly for them to return and compete against Nintendo now. Oh what could have been.:cry:Dreamcast 2 worldwide launch on 9/9/09!
I completely agree. I cant stress enough how awesome the Dreamcast was. I still have mine and it works like a charm. Sad it didn't so as well as it should have. Oh. and Daytona USA 3 FTW!
The PS3, 360, and Wii should all be firing on all cylinders in late 2009. If SEGA tried to launch a console in the midst of a generation I think they'd fail miserably. The only way they could do it is if they could somehow out-Wii the Wii by launching at a low price point and offering something that you couldn't get on any of the other systems, which doesn't seem likely. Not to be pessimistic, but I just don't see it happening.
I'd love to see this happen. As a gamer of course. Sega to me is ace at doing things others steal and profit from. Dreamcast and Saturn were for the hardcore. Nintendo hasnt been hardcore since super nes. Will this happen, prob not. Id love to see the real ECW return, id love to see Layne Staley still alive and the real Alice in Chains touoring....heck we got a better chance of Guns N Roses all getting back together or Blizzard putting out Starcraft 2, Warcraft 4 and Diablo 3 before Sega ever got back in the game. I miss the days of Nintendo and Sega pushing each other. This gen is boring me so bad i think im gonna hook up xbox tonight and play steel battalion
Just what we need. Another $500+ console.
This would be an incredibly stupid move as Rag stated, if Sega would just develop the games that everyone wants them too, instead of releasing half-assed rehashes to games that have already realized all of their potential, they could be more successful as a developer. The game industry is barely able to support 3 platforms, why would Sega enter a market that is even more cluttered than it was after they released the first Dreamcast...Unless they have some sort of innovation, that would appeal to the masses more so than the Wii, there is simply too much competition for them, and this is coming from one of their biggest supporters. Make Shenmue III damnit!

i be happy when here is 4 consoles but this gen is started after 3years if sega want to sell good they must release dreamcast 2 in the next gen i love to see there is in next gen Playstation 4,xbox 720, wii 2 , dreamcast 2 that can be a great battle sony vs microsoft and sega vs nintendo

I still got my dreamcast and I love that console. However it's just not realistic to be expecting another one.First off, it'll be mid-to-late generation by that time. The Wii and Ps3 will be a little over 3 years old, and the 360 about 4. I think they learned their lesson about premature launchings as it didn't go so hot the last time.Secondly, The chances that they are actually developing a new console, when they are not exactly a powerhouse at the moment is slim. They don't have the money to develop and produce a console that will likely be losing them money like the 360 and PS3 lose money on each sale. It's not financially feasible.No, I'm afraid that they are just protecting their copyrighted name, to make sure nobody else steals it. Don't be holding your breath for another Sega console anytime soon, as much as myself and many other gamers would love to see one.
It would be a moronic move by Sega. Give it up people -- there will not be a Dreamcast 2 anytime soon.
What are you talking about. I would totally pass up a Wii or PS3 for a DC2!! given the right circumstances anyhow.
I don't understand why would anyone want to see another console with another set of exclusives. Do you people enjoy wasting money? Sega being multiplatform is a good thing...if they actually made worthwhile games to matter anymore, of course.
SEGA can barely publish a game let alone develop one since Sammy bought them, so to fantasize about them making a console is pointless. It's not going to happen.I'd be happy if SEGA would just return to making good games, but since they lost most of their devs, that's probably never going to happen (unless you like pachinko).
Misleading title FTL!TC, you might want to change that topic title, before dvader bursts an aneurysm. And no, I don't think the announcement of yet another console would be such an nice idea.
[QUOTE=''SteelAttack'']Misleading title FTL! TC, you might want to change that topic title.[/QUOTE]I actually thought about saying this, but then I thought 'Who the hell would actually believe this?'. There's a better chance of Sony ditching the video games business in favor of a designer 'street' clothes line, or something.

What the hell difference would those games being on the Dreamcast instead of, oh, anything other system that's already out make? I can't believe people would actually want another console at this point, especially when it's exactly that... just another console.
