I have two boys 9 and12. I'm going to get them to get away from black ops 2 on the ps3 and get into this game.
I also like to see more Power Stone and less black ops (I hate that game)
Yeah I had to give up my ps3 and give it to my boys. They always was in my room playing and I just got tired of it.
It's ok. It made me play the dc more.

Just picked up a stack of new games.
Played "ChuChu Rocket!" for a couple hours the other night.
Looking forward to finally getting the chance to play "Elemental Gimmick Gear" for the first time.

Tons of Indie games on the way. DUX 1.5, Sturmwind, and Pier Solar are moving to the top of my Play list when they arrive in the mail. I'm broke, but happy :lol:

Just bought metropolis street racing and ecco the dolphin today. Will get a chance to play them tomorrow. Other than those two purchases, have been playing the nes and ps2 big time.

The only Dreamcast racing game that really begs for a steering wheel is Daytona USA.

Personally I find that one near unplayable with a regular controller.

I agree. I could never do better than 10th place when I played with the controller.

I've been playing quite a bit of PSO v.2 and trying my best to set up a DC-PC server. Samba de Amigo has also been very popular in my house since my fiance got me the maracas.

Just a question I'm throwing out there and I'm sure this has been talked about but does anyone else feel the same way as I do on this but since the ps2 and xbla and psn has a lot of fighters that are ported over from the dreamcast I still prefer the dreamcast. Now all I need is a total control 3 adapter to use my sega Saturn pad and I truly will be in heaven.

I've heard the 'trick' is to always be pressing Up on the analog stick and just rocking from Up to Left or Right without ever letting the analog stick center itself. If that makes sense? I haven't tried it yet myself.

That's how I play it with a controller.

Still not as accurate and smooth as with a steering wheel.

It feels cramped. Going back to neutral position is not the same either.

ah that sucks. I love me some Daytona, but don't have the DC game yet. But I always play the Saturn one with a wheel. Actually, I still need a DC wheel too haha.
