A New Sega System will be released soon for Home

I'd put the blame for the bulk of the failures more on poor communication between SoJ and SoA than anything else.

[Original_Name]

After reading some older topics on this subject that were posted before I joined, and seeing this new one here now, I always see Original_Name being the most stalwart defender of classic Sega.

Sega is a company that inspired a kind of loyalty in certain fans that a lot of people simply don't understand. They were special in a way that competitors have never been able to match. Only Nintendo has ever come close.

But those hardy, devoted Sega fans are few and far between.

So here's to you Original_Name. You are a true blue Sega fan of old, a champion of the legend, and that makes you the man.

"Too long, didn't read" less dramatic version: Dude, I love your posts, you rock.

Hahaha, you've seen my posts, do you honestly think that that was "too long" for me to read!? To be honest, I'm flattered that you feel that way about my thoughts and shocked that people actually have the patience to read them in all their glorious verbosity! Really though, I'm glad to hear that I do more than fill up bandwidth around here.

And on the note of being a hardy, devoted Sega fan -- well, they say that you never realize what you've got until it's gone, but I always realized what I had in them; and that's how love works, I'm afraid.

Poor communication or SoJ having their heads up their butts?

If they put House of the Dead 4 in the new Sega system I will buy it, that's if they come out with a new system.

I'm a big Sega arcade fan so if they put arcade games like Streets of Rage and Virtua Cop, I will be in heaven.

Dreamcast 2 FTW! It probably won't happen, but I really want it to!

Probably a lack of translators, so SoJ was speaking Japanese and SoA was speaking English and no one know what anyone else was saying.

With the latest down-date removal of features on the PS3 and YLOD issues, Wii bricking and 360 RROD, it might be a good time for Dreamcast 2 or my earlier suggestion "NAOMI". If Sega had the financial muscle, could step back into the 3 ring monopoly circus and come out the winner. The key would be reliability and not the same rehash of older games, like Atari failed with the too late re-release 7800 against Nintendo NES.

Yeah I agree, it would be a good time to release another system, Sony and Microsoft said they were going to wait 10 years for another system. Every time Sega comes out with a new system it gets over shadowed by other systems (except for Genesis), but it would give them a head start.

I like the Naomi idea, that system has a lot of games that are already made and counting.

Yeah, that could totally work. Especially since Sega has a really good brand image, just like before the Dreamcast came out.

Well one could hope, competition is always good, keeps competitors competing.
Dreamcast did leave a great memory with variety of great games and a non-brick console.
Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft all the current Gen "unreliable stigma", Sega could play that fact in.

Dreamcasts fail all the time. Yeah, must people didn't have problems till it was off the market but there were a lot of drive problems, and some games don't read on some systems. I think we have several threads covering how a lot of people had trouble with Sonic Adv.. The Wii is just as reliable as the Dreamcast. Now Gamecube to me is the lest disc based console prone to error, you can even throw it down from your roof and there's a good chance it will work, I don't recommend anyone trying that though. A friend of mine got mad and threw his Dreamcast out the window and it shattered.
