Sega Confirms Dreamcast Collection for PS3.

[8BitWalugi]

Back in November, a listing briefly showed up on GameStop for something called the "Dreamcast Collection," raising speculation that a disc-based compellation of classic Dreamcast games would soon be hitting retail shelves. And now it's official: In the latest issue of Game Informer, Sega's executive vice president of sales and marketing Alan Pritchard confirms the collection is coming. Unfortunately, he doesn't say what games will be collected.

"The Dreamcast fans are very devoted. You see on eBay people are still buying the games and system," Pritchard began. "We actually have a Dreamcast collection coming out soon. We are looking to bring some of the old Dreamcast games to market digitally and packaged. The titles are still to be announced. The Ultimate Genesis Collection did huge numbers on PS3 and 360, so it's an important part of our business. We've already been releasing some Dreamcast games digitally; Crazy Taxi [for one]."

Indeed, along with Crazy Taxi, Sega has also already rereleased Sonic Adventure, and they plan on rereleasing Space Channel 5 Part 2 and Sega Bass Fishing early next year. Will all four games make up this Dreamcast Collection for a retail release, or can we hope to see yet more Dreamcast titles rereleased? Looks like we'll find out whenever Sega is ready to say.

The GameStop listing pegged the Dreamcast Collection's release for February 15, but as you can see, Pritchard didn't confirm that part, either.

No Dreamcast 2, but this seems pretty awesome. Now all we need is a HD remake of some of the games (Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, etc.)

yay!!! DC was one of my favorite systems. I love crazy taxi, soinc, mvc2, capcom vs snk, nfl blitz 2000. Man were those games fun.

 

[Mesiskope]

anything but Shenmue.

I hope to god that the version of Crazy Taxi they recently released on the Live marketplace does not get put on this collection. Sega was to lazy to get the rights to all the original music so it's a bunch of shitty new bands. No Offspring and Bad Religion, No buy!!!

YA YA YA YA YA!!!!!!!!!

 

[HoTsHoT89]

What? All Shenmue and no JSR?

I hate to tell you but the Dreamcast system is, in a word, suck.

Damn, they release all the good Dreamcast games for PS3, but us PC users get the shaft.
I so want to play Sonic Adventure 2 or Shenmue :

 

[Mazor]

us PC users get the shaft.

Spoiler: PC users get emulators to play all consoles, including Dreamcast.

 

[Jolan]

but I don't want to pirate those games.

but I don't want to pirate those games.

Buy them and rip the disks?

(or play them on the emulator through the disk? I'm pretty sure playstation emulators can do that, so Dreamcast ones should be able to as well)

nope, dreamcast used a special fotrmat called gd-rom, which a pc cant read by itself, isos and cd rips work though

Still waiting for the Sega 32X, SegaCD, and/or Sega Saturn Collection ;-;

 

[mightymuffy]

Yeah Crazy Taxi on Live is a waste of space imo - missing music and adding nothing... and Sonic Adventure? Yeah it were pretty good when it was released, but good grief it's far too old fashioned now! Try playing it after a go of Sonic Colours for example - just not worth the effort!

Dreamcast was great in its day - I still have fond memories, but these lazy rehashes aren't worth the time whatsoever! Now, like has been said, if they did a Saturn collection.......

 

[deny_conformity]

I'm really hoping for an HD re-release of JSR, remember spending so much time playing it on the Dreamcast

I don't have a PS3, but fortunately i STILL have a DC hooked to my PC monitor with a VGA cable and it looks and plays flawlessly.
No need for this, I still have almost every game ever released in the USA and Japan.
But I wish they would put this on the Wii, so I could play it from the couch !
By the way, I love my Dreamcast.
