The article says nothing about exclusivity. It probably will be released for the PS3 as well.

I can't wait until Sony goes 3rd party like Sega did. I'll be able to play Team Ico games on 360

I hope this is a sign of a trend of Dreamcast games on XBLA. Crazy Taxi with online leaderboards...

bork · « **Reply #33 on:** April 16, 2008, 11:57:06 PM »

No online = WORTHLESS. Don't release a competitive game for the next-gen platforms and leave out online. I guess they're doing it so the game doesn't steal any of SCIV's thunder, but it's just dumb. Just release SC2 as an XBox original instead. It has 720p (albeit without widescreen) anyway. $:-\$

And the reason behind that is that GAF has systematically eliminated the majority of 360 owners/fans over there while they've basically copy and pasted the user population of PS3forums into their own. It's a moderation thing.

Hell, I'd take the DC version of Soul Calibur any day over some shit ball vertical shooter that I'd never have any hope of getting past the 2nd level.

Bring on the DC ports! Skies of Arcadia next plz.

drohne · « **Reply #38 on:** April 17, 2008, 12:36:37 AM »

oh, you're getting some 'shit ball vertical shooters,' but only the ones that have already been on dreamcast

i guess microsoft really wants to cement those links to the console whose fate 360 is about to share

pilonv1 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 17, 2008, 12:41:02 AM »

I hope they do. With the 360's already superior range of software, adding the unbeatable Dreamcast library makes it unstoppable.

SEGA

Dreamcast

DC ports needed :

JSR
Skies of Arcadia
Grandia 2
Crazy Taxi
That plane game that got canned around 9/11
Rayman 2
Seaman
Metropolis Street Racer
F355 Challenge
Sega Bass Fishing

And many more.

So would this be the ideal plan?

Announce Shenmue III for 360. Announce Shenmue I and II on XBLA at the same time.
Release both the XBLA games, after some delays, then announce Shenmue III has been cancelled.

Sounds ok?

I don't think I'd ever stop crying if this happened :'(

I look forward to trying this. SC2 for GameCube was my entry into the series. I always hear how awesome this game is, but I wonder how much of this is nostalgia.

The series definitely peaked at Soul Caliber 1. But it still remains one of my favorite fighting games.
