With the opening up of specially made Dreamcast development kits, the console that just wouldn't die is showing just how much life it really has left in the little system. It may be getting dated now, but for independent developers, the options the Dreamcast opens up are endless.
RedSpotGames, publishers of the recently released NG: Dev.Team's Last Hope for the NEO GEO and Sega Dreamcast, have announced their intentions to show off two new games for Sega's console at the Leipzig Games Convention.
The first title is Dalforce, a vertical shooter with 11 levels and a 4 player mode. The publishers promise a unique scoring system, intense bullet patterns, and huge bosses. No further details are given at this time, but we should get the first screens and perhaps a video or two this weekend when the game is shown off.
The second Dreamcast game being showcased by the company at Leipzig is Wind and Water Puzzle Battles developed by Yuan Works. This is a port of the GP2X Arcade/Action/Puzzle game that is available for pre-order at the game's official GP2X site....
Wow. I remember that same article a year ago when it was posted. Did the game actually come out? The website still says it's in preorder... so I guess not.

Uh, Bomberman already came out on DC. This seems rather redundant.
Props for random Lucasarts homages at the end of the trailer though.

I was going to say that I stopped watching when I saw the words "New Dreamcast Game!", but I actually watched a few seconds.
Last Hope was not fun

After watching that, the name "Last Hope" becomes eerily ironic.

I still can't believe idiots paid $700+ for Last Hope and have to defend that shitty game because they were too stupid to pay that kind of money for a homebrew.

I'm actually interested in Dux or R4 (if it's even in dev yet) but thus far haven't bothered with any DC homebrews.
Go play Under Defeat.

I have last hope for DC...not the Neo cart. I liked Last Hope, but not enough to pay $700...no way.
