Huh, for some reason I thought Key of Avalon was on Naomi.

Here's what I'm thinking, Dreamcast as a home arcade system = yes
But it also includes hardware heavy titles and stuff. Like the motion sensor from 911 or something. I guess there's better uses for it.

You can count SNK out, they stated their Atomiswave titles will be ported to PS2 and Xbox only.

DC owners have been fairly lucky with Naomi ports except Guilty Gear. The Naomi hardware has provided a quality library as varied as Neo Geo and Capcom CSP 2 and games continue to be made for it likely because it is cheaper to support than newer hardware.

You want Naomi games on DC, buy the games that are out Border Down, Psyvariar 2, and Shikigami No Shiro 2 are all fine shooters if you are into that. *-neo

Yeah, I honestly don't see where all the hate comes from, Border Down is probably my favorite DC shooter and is a loaded package to boot. Of course if you prefer verts it may not be that great. *-neo

Border Down is a fantastic game and well worth a purchase. There are very few games that flow and play as smoothly, It completly embarrasses R-Type Final for a recent comparison.

Those people have been lying to you. Or are stupid.
It's the best horizontal shooter to come out since... well, ever.

Seeing as how Border Down is still in stock at webstores for its retail price, I don't see it going up anytime soon.

Now next year... it could be a 100$ title. But until then, you're safe.
