Looks like games from the fan-favourite Dreamcast are coming to PSN and Xbox LIVE.
Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi will be the first two Dreamcast titles to hit the Playstation Network and Xbox Live as digital downloads this fall in celebration of the 11th anniversary of the launch of the Dreamcast. Sega says more classic titles will follow.
The games are based on the original Dreamcast title "featuring all of the gameplay that older players fell in love with, whilst allowing a new audience to discover it for the very first time." The titles will also include enhancements like higher resolution visuals, surround sound, online leader boards and of course both achievement and trophy integration.
Launched on September 9, 1999, the SEGA Dreamcast had a software library of more than 650 titles.
"The Dreamcast is fondly remembered by a large community of dedicated fans as a console that was ahead of its time in terms of graphics, quality and online gaming" said Haruki Satomi, VP of Digital Business at SEGA of America and SEGA Europe. "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."

Thoughts? All I ask for is Jet Set Radio and Shenmue I and II. Hop to it Sega.

Oh god, please let it happen. I have the game here and all but I was never able to finish it because the second disc would freeze everytime I fought against one of the gigas. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUU-
I'll try replaying it with my friend's copy though and see how far I get...

The only game I can even think of is Skies of Arcadia which I am now playing for umpteenth time now. In fact, I'm at the purple mooon part this time around.
So, cuz of that, its doubtful I will be getting skies of arcadia if it comes out for PS3.
I have no need to rebuy it xD
I wanna new content.
Seriously, I've replayed it so much enough that the world feels so small and cramped to me, and pulling off few oneshots on some bosses for lulz Even grabbing alot of single hit field wipes on tons of trash mobs.
I wanna play with more ships, heck, I wanna bigger airship battles. Just bored but still replaying it xD

It's the best game ever made. One more time wouldn't hurt.
Are you playing the DC or GCN version?

I have both, however considering the status of my dreamcast version which is scratched to hell and beyond, i'm playing the GCN version.
