Sega has just made the long running rumors and speculation official, the many gems of the Dreamcast library, that little wonder box that made all real gamers believe, are getting revived and coming to both XBLA and PSN this year. It may not surprise you that Sega is starting with Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi this Fall, both of which will be on the floor at E3 next week.
Sega says that the releases preserve the Dreamcast originals, while featuring enhanced visuals and surround sound as well as leader boards and Trophy / Achievement integration.
All of this pleases me even if the first two choices feel anti-climatic.
Dear Sega, make with the Jet Grind Radio and Space Channel 5 immediately – and maybe my list of a dozen Japanese imports while you’re at it.
I’ll be interested to hear how much they’ll try and charge for these… anything more than $10/800 MS Points and it becomes instant “No sale” territory for me… especially seeing I still have my U.S. & Japanese Dreamcasts hooked up to my TV. :) I do agree about those two titles, they are not very appealing to me either. ::plays Samba De Amigo instead::

So far I already own the two games announced but it will be interesting to see how many games are released. Now, will we get trophies/achievements for these as was the case with Gunstar Heroes?

It will finally nice to play some games with colour. Lot of these brown/grey/black ‘realism’ games are getting old, these classic Dreamcast will be a nice addition to my 360.
