There was recently a game released for the Genesis (even though this is not a new game for the DC, just an unreleased), guess the genesis has outlived the PS2 in a way...
I was being facetious. I just think it's neat that the Dreamcast still gets somewhat regular releases years after it's commercial death. Nothing to get bothered about.

Edit: Good call on Pier Solar, I wasn't aware of that. I may have to get it. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.

The Dreamcast came out in 1998, it has been getting comercial releases every year since then, not 1 year has passed that we havent goten a new release from some company in the world.

Just in December of 2010 we had Fast Striker. Now in 2011 we are getting more games, Sturmwind, Age of the Beast, Gunlord, Tahi - The Arocean War and Little Ninja are all comercial independant games that are planned for this year.

The Dreamcast is older than the PS2, so, no matter how you dice it, if the current trend keeps up, the Dreamcast will get comercial games for years to come. In that respect, it already has the dark side beat by two years!

Yes, the Dreamcast is 2 years older, in that respect it does have the PS2 beat. That is correct.

I know what you are saying though, as far as officaly liscenced games go, yes the PS2 has been supported for a longer time though. :wink:

Well, as for another unreleased game, I am trying to contact a guy that had a version of Worms Pinball for Dreamcast that had never seen the light of day, and he was going to rip the unreleased game back in October, but after his inital post, he left Assembler forums and never returned.

I contacted him on his youtube account asking how he is doing, and seeing if we could get that rip of the game he was thinking of doing for us so many months ago.

It is a shame System Shock 2 and Theif 2 were not playable which were found on a Katana Dev Unit last year, but a level of 2 could be "played" on a Dreamcast, so the port was a very, very early build, and apperiantly a no CD crack could be added to the files on a Windows PC and get the games playable with minimal tweaking.

Wish we had some tech wizards that were familar with porting Windows CE games to the Dreamcast, then we could use the SDK that came on a disc with the devkit to program the ports to be more playable.

Alas, I guess it will never happen, as it is too much work for even skilled homebrew devs to do, as we would need a full time dedicated dev team working round the clock to get anything remotely playable.

I cannot possibly have this come out soon enough.

I've wanted a copy of this game for as long as I can remember as 3D rail shooters ALA StarFox and Panzer Dragoon are my thing.
