you dont get it do you? The dreamcast is dead, dead i tell you. The DC die back in October 26, 2000 when the PS2 launch wiping it out of the face of earth. Nothing you can say can revive the DC anymore, why do you think sega stop making console now. Just get yourself a PS2 or a Xbox. I myself gave up the DC cause it wasnt even worth it anymore even for arcade perfect MVC2 or Project Justice. You can keep crying all you want, but no one is going to make anymore games for the DC, hell i even see companies rather make games for the PS1 than the DC.:lol:

Even though it's not completely dead yet in Japan there is no way any company is going to develop for DC in America. It's a sure loss. If there was a small 3rd party developer who could contract with Japanese DC developers and direct sell theses games in the US and Uk, however... there just might be a market for that... targeting the DC crowd.

LOL I was buying some pelican joysticks just last night and the salesman looked at me all sorts of crazy when I asked him if I'd run into any problems playing them on a DC with the PS2 controller adapter.

I looked deeper into the project and it looks like it could be done.
Maybe not for the US but we could allways import the games.

the only games getting released on DC are dating sims, shooters, and shitty KOF games, none of which are nearly as technically straining on DC hardware as an atomiswave game.

We can at least try to get some new fighters on the DC. We have nothing to lose.

Really? I have a copy of Guilty Gear X for import dc, and everything's fine. Isn't Atomiswave Sammy's proprietary hardware? The only reason GGXX and all those other upgrades weren't released for dc is because Sammy had jumped onto the ps2 bandwagon, despite it's shortcomings compared to the dc...and ps2 STILL has the GG games looking good as well.

YOU don't seem to get it. If the Atomiswave games are ported to dc, Japan is where it will happen, THEN they will, or will not be made availabe for US dc. So this COULD happen. You think there are fighting game companies with Atomiswave boards in America? PLEASE. The only companies that make games worth giving a shit about, let alone Atomiswave games, are in Japan. Capcom of America doesn't make games (anymore, for over a decade, since that gay-ass saturn Final Fight fighter), Sammy of America doesn't make games. It's the japanese companies. They make the games, and months later, their american counterparts release those games here. (That's why all fighters speak japanese, duh) And since that is so, they're only gonna make those games for the japanese dc, which ISN'T DEAD in Japan. The american offices of those companies will more than likely decline on the translation to american market, since the dc IS dead in America, but we can always import.

Rhio2k is right, dc is still very popular in japan. just because Skyler thinks the DC is dead that dosen't mean everyone else does.

Heck, Dreamcast is still popular in America, people are still making homebrew games for it, and there are many online forums and dedicated websites to it...
I LOVE my dreamcast and will never stop playing it..
well, maybe when I am able to get an X-box with all the good 2d fighters and x-box live, but I probably aint gettin that amount of money for a while, but for now, Dreamcast RULES!!!

Out of interest, can anybody name a success story that has come about as a direct result of a (snigger) internet petition?

It doesn't matter what opinion anybody has.

Fact: The DC is dead.

I'm pretty sure Atomiswave is too advanced for the DC, plus there is no real incentive for anyone to release those games to DC. The DC may not quite be dead in Japan, but it's pretty close. It certainly isn't popular, hell how long were Saturn games coming out in Japan, a really long time...

*falls out of chair laughing* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Anyways, first internet petitions are a joke. No company worth a grain of salt takes them seriously.

Second, Dreamcast is dead. Why spend the money producing and marketing a game for a dead system? The Dreamcast-based Atomiswave system will not make it any cheaper to produce a port, nor will it yield any kind of expandable profit.

Dreamcast is dead! Get off the cock and deal, bitches.

New smilies are sorta cool...

Yeah, anyway, DC homebrew scene is actually sorta crazy... There are media players (like DivX, WMV, etc etc), MP3 jukeboxes, web browsers, games, emulators etc...

Is it wrong for me to assume people want Atomiswave games on the DC just so they can burn them and play them for cheap?

Yes, your right the only reason people want them is so that they could burn them and play for cheap. :lame: I bet no one in here even has a modchip which is necessary to play some imports. Keep them on next gen consoles please.

Seriously, you may want to spellcheck your petition seeing as it looks pretty silly and doesn't really look as if anyone would take it seriously. I'll humor you and say ok there's some random dude in the Sammy/Atomiswave Public Relations Division and someone tells him, " Look around for random petitions so we can see what Atomiswave fans really want!". Even if he did that petition looks so fobbarific that they wouldn't even understand what you're trying to do. At least provide a brief prospectus as to how they would benefit from it. If you're gonna do petition lol, give it some thought. Peoples signatures aren't gonna do anything without any reasoning behind it. If there was a petition that could cause to happen, this one surely isn't the one. What professional company would see merit in that petition? I've viewed some of the posts and it looks so silly almost like people petitioning to bring Elvis back. I mean I would love to have Atomiswave games on Dreamcast but I've accepted that it won't happen. If the contributors to themselves seriously they would've put more thought into how they posted.

Atomiswave sadly would not port any games to DC merely due to a petition. DC games are still made in Japan but not due to any petitions.

if you ahve an older dreamcast, than you dont need a mod chip, you just need to rip and burn the right way....

Some of you people have no idea what the word dead means. The DC still has games coming out for this year, so unless Sega is letting everybody and their mother make games for it without the need for their consent, it's far from dead.
Were you even listening?!? It's all about profit. It doesn't matter how many unknown niche games dribble out of a small publishing house. They need to be motivated by a large revenue.

There is simply no money in releasing games for the 7th most popular system. And all the crybaby fits in the world won't change that. Take the blinkers off.

It doesn't have to be a large amount of profit to show that there's still life and it doesn't need to have big companies develop for it to show it, either. Not only that, as long as there is ANY revenue, there's still support, not just a large amount.

You can say that they're dead all you want, but unless the dead has gained the ability to move around and be active, your words don't mean a thing, so the only one that has the blinders on is you.

it might just me, but i think it might have to do with storage restrictions, GGXX and GGXX#R for PS2 are both on dvd media.

although after looking at ripped games (sry for talking about it) for xbox/ps2, the games do look smaller than 700mb

Why is this thread open? There will be no Atomiswave games coming to DC. There's a better chance of "Dolemite vs Fucking Midway" coming before Atomiswave games are released on DC. Trust me, thats a cool idea but there is no benefit from Sammy/Atomiswave to make that venture. I love my Dreamcast, but the system isn't really alive enough to recieve ports from Atomiswave. I don't care how many fat incoherent japanophile fanboys post on that whack ass petition, it does'nt mean shit. More credit would be given if the petition wasn't so damn otaku-infested. What company is going to respond to what looks like incoherent english.

That'd be suicide if they made and distributed the game on the Dreamcast. Think about it....Your already at lost because not everyone is accessable to purchase a Dreamcast or already has one, because the system is dead. And who would be playing on a dead system? Mostly like the hardcore gamers that still have a love for the system or a game on that system. Now add in the fact your product is geared toward a niche market, and that games can be easily pirated for this system, your lossing huge.

Damn you people got to stop being greed.

Co-sign. I fucking soldered them in myself too, bitch.

DC is NOT dead(in Japan). However, don't be expecting huge games for it, IIRC Sega didn't even produce it's new Puyo Puyo Fever and Sakura Taisen games(their other 2 big hits this past year) for the DC.

[Edit]Correction. According to Sega's "Sega Press" monthly newsletter, they have 9 games coming for the DC, 3 which are out right now(One of which is their popular Puyo Puyo Fever, so I stand corrected, the other is an LE version of the 2nd game...), 4 distinct releases coming out before the end of the year(just listed as 2004), and 2 more with no date, but slated for release. That's 3 more than what they're claiming for X-Box(one of which is SVC Chaos, the other is a "Premium Cut" version of Blue Stinger) and GBA, 7 more than the GC, and a little less than 1/3rd of what they're pushing for the PS2(30).

Soooo, my point still stands. Far from dead. Sakura Taisen, after the collector's edition with ST4, isn't popping up on there, but a few other games still show their faces. However, this is still the Ren'ai/SLG gamer's platform of choice.
