Dreamcast Returns!

PS3, Xbox 360

Yes, it's true. The Dreamcast, seen in hindsight as ahead of its time when it debuted in 1999, is back... in that games from the platform will soon be available for download on PS3 and Xbox 360. Starting with Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi, today's gamers will be able to either relive the memories, or see what they missed from Spring 2010 onwards.

The games will be updated with high resolution visuals, surround sound, online leaderboards, and achievements and trophies.

Haruki Satomi, VP of Digital Business at SEGA of America and SEGA Europe, says that “There are few things that are more requested from us than making Dreamcast classics available for download in today’s digital market place. We’re very excited to begin offering gamers our beloved Dreamcast titles again on the current console systems.”

Should be pretty fun, they're choice of titles is certainly strong. I'll probably pick up Sonic Adventure, depending on how much they want for it.

Full, 700mb upwards is the size of most demos these days, and some DLC. Their main demographic, america, can handle it pretty easily. I've just upgraded my internet plan so I know where you're coming from Zen, I had to be very picky till now.

Yeah, Sega would be crazy not to put that one up next.
