Atomiswave: Sammy's attempt at Neo Geo?

I remain optimistic.

Dam I want to get one of these so bad.....Guilty Gear arcade *drools* That game kicks ass on the dreamcast.

Ah what am I saying I cant even afford a gamecube or ps2 let alone a arcade cab. :(

that ad looks like an old NES ad.

nonetheless those games look really nice, here's hoping it's decently priced.

I hope you can make this pic out.....

P.S. I have a Dolphin Blue video.....

Atomiswave delays may be due to the way Sega is treating Sammy in their merger efforts. Sammy is probably feeling a bit alienated since Sega's tried to bring in Namco. Since they probably have to pay royalties on the hardware, I suspect they may be looking into alternatives even though they have already put a large amount of money into developing the system and software.

Maybe? I found out a few months ago how Atomiswave came to be. Sega had 2.5 million Dreamcast chipsets sitting around at the time of the console's death, they liquidated them to Sammy and thus Atomiswave. Would they pay royalities on liquidated parts? *-neo

Very interesting. They probably would not owe Sega any money for the hardware then. Although, Sammy would need development tools and design docs, which they would still have to go to Sega for.

Sammy: ' Sega has us betrayed '/Namco sends fusion documents to Sega

01.05.03 - Still Sega did not communicate whether one will be
received with Sammy or Namco a fusion. How the newspaper Asahi Shimbun
writes, Sammy president Hajime Satomi reacted annoyed to the offer of
Namco. For it the fusion with Sega was thing already decided, which
was already sealed by hand impact in February.

' Sega betrayed and exposed us. It is no matter to us whether from the
Deal still which becomes or ', a prominent Sammy employee does not say
opposite the newspaper.

Namco communicates meanwhile on the official homepage that one sent
the documents necessary for a fusion today at Sega. The documents must
be present up to 09.05.03 Sega, which communicate then their fusion
partner. ' we must do something or to Sega go down ', say a Namco
representative. ' Namco is Segas of best partners, because we are in
the same industry.'

I doubt they will kill Atomiswave over this but nonetheless the whole Sammy/Sega thing just turned sour. *-neo

So, at this point in time how does one go about playing Dolphin Blue!?

Buy a ticket to Japan and hunt for arcades that have it.

Or contact Sammy directly and shell out for an Atomiswave setup -- which will probably run $1500 or more.
