The Dreamcast lives on!

The dreamcast just refuses to lie down and die, two new shooters coming out on the console early 2007. Thank god for Naomi, as long as there are games being released on that the Dreamcast will live on. The games are Trigger heart Exelica and Karasu (crows). I believe play-asia are already taking pre orders, long live the dreamcast!!!

Third party refuse to let it go.

Every time i think there done another shooter comes out for it

I am sick of overhead shooters for the Dreamcast. Make a real game, please. At least a horizontal shooter or something that is actually good. The "Dreamcast-overhead-shooter-with-millions-of-bullets-onscreen-and-a-tiny-hit-box" genre has been waaaaaaay overdone.

Well, maybe I'm splitting hairs here but not all DC shooters are Shikigami's Castle. Under Defeat was downright old school, and Radiagy was quite slow and tactical compared to other DC shooters. Karasu looks like a sorta-sequel to Radialgy.

Under Defeat was awesome.

Well if the games have great music then I may consider purchase. I know CAVE shooters had a policy of having totally awesome music on stage 1, decent music on stage 2, and forgettable music for the rest of the game.

I agree with Joe, I want to see some cool old skool shooters for Dreamcast or some other cool genres

I wouldn't mind seeing an original "proffessional" version of those Final Fight DC games(Beats of Rage?).

Especially if it was questy.

I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to J.J. and Jeff.

I think that its hard to be "professional" when the game is %90 copyright infringement.

Besides BoR has the same problem as most other Final Fight clones...they are clones of Final Fight. The move list is still 1/16 the size of a Kunio game, and there isn't any running so the shit gets old really quickly no matter how great the graphics are.

The Kunio series so totally owns any and all other beat-em-ups. Its like the companies didn't even try. After playing something like Kunio-kun Tachi no Banka stuff like Riot Zone and Final Fight are really exposed for the crap they are. Shit, Ganbare Dunk Heroes is a better beat-em-up than BoR...and that's a basketball game!

Awesome news!

But it's pretty sad that the Dreamcast is able to live a good 7 years (and counting?) but got finished in the U.S. after only one miserable year. Go to any Gamespot or EB Games and see the U.S. titles in the clearance bin for only $10 - $20!

You mean the game hero in River City Ransom, right? Do you know that Kunio-kun had his own hockey game for the Famicom?

Preferably for Turbo Duo.

You know if I knew how to program, I would've already made the sequel
