2 years ago there even was a april fools joke that apple buys the rights of dreamcast and rename it into Idream (pretty cool name actually)
I dont really care about Dreamcast because it dont has any Exclusive title im interested in :D
the only Title I was interested in was Grandia 2 but its not exclusive, Pc and ps2 has the game too

You must be out of your mind. The Dreamcast has one of the most interesting libraries of exclusive titles a person could ask for and it's a console well-worth looking into. If you don't care for it then you're just unfamiliar with it, trust me. ;)

As for the Dreamcast 2, the only hardware Sega released and actively supports now are arcade machines with their latest installment, the RingEdge and RingWide included.

There were plans to release a Dreamcast 2 to compete with the XBox 360 and the PS3 however the board found the state of the economy to uncertain to risk re-entering the console industry. They did release concept art though, you can Google it with ease. It looked quite pretty, actually.

Stupid video is stupid. Here's the official info released by one of Sega's designers:

Dreamcast Delta - the would-be Dreamcast 2

EDIT: Just to elaborate on my statement, I'm going to refute each and every point in that video so that it is clear that Dreamcast 2 is a wonderful dream that will not come true, at least not in the nearby future.

1. Sega Zone - while it is licensed by SEGA, it is not *made* by SEGA. The only affiliation are the games stored on the console and its hardware. It's essentially a Genesis clone released by AtGames.

2. Alot of mock-ups. Fun, but doesn't change the fact that DC2 doesn't exist.

3. Sega's President changed flagships, but the statement of the Board of Directors is unchanged. The President is just the voice of the board, he does not have the final word.

4. Sega renews the Dreamcast license periodically to re-release the games as Dreamcast Classics of other consoles. It's their name - of course they protect their trademark.

5. That's quite clearly patents for the Dreamcast or Saturn controller, it's filled so that they protect their intellectual property. As for the "Image Projection Aparathus", it could be for one of their arcade machines for all you know. Not only that - companies fill in patents all the time, even for devices they are not actively working on, just because they came up with an idea they find "good". If somebody comes up with the same idea, they already have the patent.

6. Yuji Naka may WANT to work on one, but it's up to the Board whether he gets the green light, plus, he's not a hardware designer, he's a programmer.

I don't understand how that video is supposed to be stupid... I mean the pieces fit together. Is the stupid part when it shows what the console could look like? If it is I agree with you. It kinda ruined the whole point of the video.

It looks awesome but sega does well in not realising a new console cause there are to many ps3 fanboys.
For me Wii U will be the best console since ps2 realese!!!!

It's stupid because each and every point in it can be easily refuted and I took the liberty to do so in an edit of my post. The only hardware Sega currently deals with are their arcade machines, and even those are a dying breed. The RingEdge and RingWide were supposed to revive the Arcades of the world. I don't see Arcades popping up anywhere.

They have to deal with the fact that nobody wants to go to an Arcade anymore when they can play the same games on their beefy consoles, the age of Arcades has unfortunately ended - they're a beautiful and nostalgic memory, that and only that.

@Foxi4 I see your logic clearly! I had those different perspectives too while viewing the video. But hey! Might as well keep our fingers crossed right? "Anything's possible if set your mind to it man." ~Eminem laugh I thought the 3DS wasn't real! 3D images without 3D glasses, that's bologna! I have one sitting next to me right now! laugh


I dont even use the 3D efect i bougt the console because its an hardware update i waited for :D
