The days of Sega being involved in hardware are long gone, but who’s to say they can’t make a comeback. After all, Sega does seem like they are trying to revive their image with the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Sonic Colors, and Super Monkey Ball game for the 3DS.
In today’s market, Sega would have a hard time entering the console wars. I’m just not sure the video game industry can support four consoles at once. I think it is more likely to see people like Yuji Naka go to Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony and help them in their console efforts. However, for those of us that still want to dream, Yuji Naka has some words of encouragement.
I am a huge fan of the original Dreamcast, and would love to see Yuji Naka work on the Dreamcast 2. He is one of the guys behind games like Nights into Dreams. . ., Burning Rangers, Phantasy Star Online, and the recent Ivy the Kiwi?. So much nostalgia is linked to the Dreamcast, Sega would be crazy not to capitalize on series like Crazy Taxi, Typing of the Dead, Sonic Adventure, and Seaman. The big question is, do they need a console of their own to do that?
I would say the Dreamcast 2 is likely to be the Kid Icarus or Duke Nukem Forever of consoles, but now that analogy doesn’t fit. Gamers will just have to wait and see what Sega has up its sleeves.
Can the video game industry support four consoles? What are your favorite Dreamcast memories and what do you think about all this Dreamcast 2 talk?
